Hands-on experience setting up or optimizing accounting systems (QuickBooks, Yardi, AppFolio, or similar)

Highly self-motivated with a “builder” mindset — comfortable being the sole accounting lead initially

Professional maturity, excellent judgment, and attention to detail

Ability to juggle competing priorities and adapt in a dynamic environment

CPA or CPA-track preferred, but not required if offset by experience

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

Compensation: $115-145k base + bonus
