Property Accountant — Full-Time Contractor Remote Philippines

Arboreal Management | Property Management Accounting | Work-from-home

Arboreal Management is a growing property management company based in Seattle, Washington, USA, managing a portfolio of residential and commercial properties. We're looking for a detail-oriented Property Accountant to join our offshore finance team on a full-time, long-term contract basis. You'll handle day-to-day and month-end accounting for an assigned portfolio of properties in AppFolio, preparing reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reports for review by our Accounting Manager. This is an internal, behind-the-scenes role — no client calls or customer-facing work — perfect for someone who loves clean books, organized workpapers, and hitting close deadlines.

What You'll Do

• Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals, prepaid amortization, and recurring entries
• Prepare monthly bank reconciliations for operating, security deposit, and reserve accounts, and follow up on outstanding items
• Prepare balance sheet account reconciliations, including cash, prepaids, security deposits, accrued liabilities, and loan balances
• Prepare monthly financial reporting packages — trial balance, income statement, and balance sheet schedules — with notes on significant variances
• Prepare draft owner statements and supporting schedules for manager review
• Reconcile interproperty and intercompany balances and flag mismatches for review
• Review accounts payable coding so bills land in the correct property, GL account, and period
• Review tenant ledgers, receivables aging, security deposit accounting, and move-out settlements
• Monitor property cash balances and prepare shortfall calculations to support funding processes
• Pull documentation to support audits, tax preparation, and lender requests
• Follow and help improve Standard Operating Procedures, and keep task trackers current
  
  

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 2+ years of accounting experience; property management, real estate, or multi-entity experience is a big plus
• Experience with property management accounting software (AppFolio preferred; Yardi, Buildium, or similar considered)
• Solid understanding of bank reconciliations, journal entries, and accrual-basis accounting
• Strong Excel skills — you build clear, formula-driven schedules that others can follow and review
• Good written English and the ability to document your work clearly
• Self-directed and dependable working from home, with strong attention to detail and follow-through on deadlines
  
  

• Full-time (40 hours/week), long-term independent contractor engagement
• 100% remote / work-from-home from the Philippines
• At least six (6) hours of your workday must overlap with Pacific Time (US) business hours; the specific schedule is coordinated with your manager
• You'll need a reliable computer, stable internet connection, and a quiet workspace
• Time is tracked in Rippling with dependable payment through our regular payroll cycle — no invoicing or chasing payments
  
  

• [$7–$8.50] per hour (USD), depending on experience
• Consistent full-time hours with a stable, growing US company
• Long-term role with room to grow as our portfolio expands
  
  

• Send your resume along with a cover letter about your property accounting or reconciliation experience
• Include the word "evergreen" in your application so we know you read the full posting
• Shortlisted candidates will complete a brief practical accounting exercise followed by a video interview
