Property Accountant Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a property accountant in Texas?
A bachelor's degree in accounting or finance is the standard starting point for property accountant roles in Texas. While Texas does not require a state license specifically for property accountants, most employers give strong preference to candidates who hold or are pursuing a CPA license issued by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. Pairing a degree with hands-on experience in property management software and real estate accounting fundamentals is the most direct path to getting hired.
How much do property accountants make in Texas?
Property accountants in Texas earn a median of about $80,920 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $53,380 for the lowest 10% to over $132,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire property accountants in Texas?
Employers hiring property accountants in Texas right now include Advanced Asset Management, Foresite Commercial Real Estate, and CBRE, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's large multifamily and commercial real estate market means established property management companies and REITs headquartered in Dallas and Houston tend to post the most consistent volume of openings.
Which Texas cities have the most property accountant jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Austin have the most property accountant openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas dominate because they are home to the largest concentrations of commercial real estate portfolios, corporate REIT headquarters, and multifamily management firms in the state, while Austin's sustained population and development growth has created consistent demand at both owner and third-party management companies.
Are there remote property accountant jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most accounting roles, because property accounting is largely desk-based work centered on financial reporting and reconciliations rather than on-site tasks. About 57% of property accountant openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026. The functions most commonly offered remotely are monthly close reporting, CAM reconciliations, and accounts payable, while roles requiring direct tenant contact or on-site audit support tend to stay in-office.
How can I get hired as a property accountant in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying as a staff accountant or accounts payable specialist at a large Texas property management company, then moving into property accounting once you have exposure to lease software and real estate reporting cycles. Camden Property Trust, Greystar, and Lincoln Property Company all hire junior accounting staff in Texas and provide on-the-job training in Yardi and MRI. Pursuing your CPA candidacy through the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy while working in an adjacent role gives you a clear edge when applying for dedicated property accountant titles.
Where can I find and apply to property accountant jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to property accountant jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from employers actively hiring. Find roles that fit your experience level and location, and apply directly to the ones that match.
