Accounting Manager – Hands-On / QuickBooks

RE/MAX Realty Group North Potomac, MD

Take ownership of the accounting function for an established 40-year real estate company. We need an experienced, hands-on accountant who can bring order, accuracy and timely reporting to a complex small-business accounting environment.

RE/MAX Realty Group, an established multi-office real estate brokerage serving the Maryland/DC/Virginia region, is seeking an experienced Accounting & Operations Specialist to take day-to-day ownership of the company's accounting and financial operations.

This is a hands-on, in-office position for someone who knows how to keep a set of books accurate and current, understands what the numbers mean, and is comfortable identifying and resolving discrepancies rather than simply processing transactions.

The right candidate will be highly organized, dependable and comfortable working independently while serving as a resource to company leadership, affiliated real estate professionals and staff.

What You'll Do

Independently manage day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting activity in QuickBooks

Manage accounts receivable, including monthly billing, collections and account follow-up

Manage accounts payable, including invoice review, coding, recurring obligations and payment scheduling

Process and track commission-related payments in coordination with internal transaction and commission support staff

Reconcile bank, credit-card and other balance-sheet accounts

Maintain the general ledger and investigate and resolve discrepancies

Perform month-end closing procedures, including necessary journal entries and account reconciliations

Prepare monthly Profit & Loss Statements, Balance Sheets and other financial reports for company leadership

Assist leadership with financial analysis, cash-flow information and special reporting needs

Coordinate financial activity involving related business entities and service partners

Respond professionally to accounting and payment questions from affiliated professionals, vendors and staff

Assist with other accounting and operational projects as needed

What We're Looking For

At least 3–5 years of hands-on bookkeeping, accounting or closely related financial operations experience

Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online is required

Demonstrated experience with accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations and general-ledger accounting

Experience performing month-end close and preparing financial statements

Ability to independently investigate discrepancies and maintain accurate books

Strong Excel skills

Excellent attention to detail and comfort working with numbers, deadlines and confidential information

Ability to manage recurring responsibilities independently and follow issues through to resolution

Clear, professional communication skills

Comfortable working in a busy office and interacting with a wide variety of personalities

Experience in real estate brokerage, property management, mortgage, title, construction or another transaction-intensive business is especially helpful but not required.

Compensation & Benefits

$60,000–$70,000 annually, depending on experience

Health, Dental and Vision insurance available

401(k) with employer contribution

Paid time off

Monday through Friday schedule

In-office position

Established local company with a long operating history

We are particularly interested in candidates who have previously been responsible for a company's books from day-to-day transaction processing through month-end close and financial reporting. Applicants without meaningful hands-on QuickBooks experience will not be considered.
