Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Property Accountant
Translate your CPA credentials for U.S. employers
A CPA qualification from Australia satisfies the E-3 degree requirement, but U.S. hiring managers often don't know this. Explicitly frame your CA ANZ or CPA Australia designation as the equivalent of a U.S. CPA on your resume and in interviews.
Target REITs and commercial property managers first
Real estate investment trusts and large commercial property management firms file LCAs regularly for accounting roles. Searching by SIC code or property sector narrows your list to employers already familiar with the E-3 process for finance professionals.
Confirm your role qualifies as a specialty occupation
Senior Property Accountant positions typically qualify, but roles heavy on bookkeeping or administrative tasks can raise DOL scrutiny. Check that your job description specifies a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance as a requirement, not just a preference.
Get your LCA filed before negotiating a start date
The DOL certifies most LCAs within seven business days, but consulate appointment wait times in Sydney and Melbourne add weeks. Set your start date at least six to eight weeks after the offer is signed to avoid rescheduling pressure.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the full process
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles your LCA submission, DS-160, and consulate preparation end-to-end. This keeps the process on track and reduces the risk of paperwork errors that delay your start date.
Prepare Australian tax records as supplemental evidence
U.S. consular officers sometimes request additional documentation for accountants to confirm professional experience. Bring Australian tax returns, employer references detailing your property accounting responsibilities, and any fund or portfolio documentation showing scope of work.

Find Senior Property Accountant JobsSenior Property Accountant E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Senior Property Accountant jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the recommended starting point, it lists Senior Property Accountant roles from employers already familiar with E-3 sponsorship, so you're not cold-educating hiring managers about the visa. Filtering by role and visa type surfaces opportunities at REITs, commercial property firms, and real estate developers across major U.S. markets.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Senior Property Accountant role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, in most cases. The E-3 requires the position to normally demand a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field. Senior Property Accountant roles at REITs, institutional investors, and commercial property firms typically specify accounting, finance, or real estate as required disciplines. Roles that mix in significant administrative or bookkeeping duties can be harder to qualify, so the job description wording matters.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for a Senior Property Accountant?
The E-3 has two major practical advantages for Australian accounting professionals: no annual lottery and no cap. H-1B registration results in selection rates well below 50%, meaning a qualified candidate can wait years before securing status. The E-3 lets you apply directly after receiving a certified LCA, with consulate processing typically completed within weeks of your interview date.
Can my Australian CPA or CA ANZ qualification support an E-3 application for this role?
Yes. USCIS and the DOL recognize professional accounting designations as satisfying the degree equivalency requirement for E-3 purposes, provided the role aligns with the field of study. CA ANZ and CPA Australia memberships are accepted as equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's in accounting. Bring your membership certificate, academic transcripts, and a credential evaluation if your degree was a three-year program.
