Beverly Hills, CA | On-site, Full-Time | $75,000 – $90,000 DOE
About the Company
We are a vertically integrated real estate investment company. Our core focus is multifamily acquisitions, with additional divisions in residential flipping and ground-up development. We own and operate what we buy, including an in-house property management company and construction team. That structure means our accounting function touches everything: property-level operations, construction draws, acquisitions and dispositions, lender compliance, and investor reporting.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Staff Accountant to own day-to-day accounting across our entities and properties. This is a hands-on seat for someone who closes books accurately and on time, catches problems before they surface, and can give ownership a clear read on the business at any point in the month. You'll work directly with executive leadership and have visibility into every deal we do.
Key Responsibilities
- Full-cycle GL accounting and bookkeeping across multiple entities and properties
- AP and AR management
- Monthly soft closes and quarterly hard closes
- Bank, credit card, and credit line reconciliations
- Monthly reporting packages and maintenance of accurate financial statements
- Auditing property management reporting for accuracy
- Budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, projections, and proformas
- Reconciling and posting closings on properties we acquire and sell
- Fund control and construction draw tracking
- Reporting to banks, lenders, and equity investors
Qualifications
- Minimum 3 years of accounting experience
- Extensive Yardi experience is required. This is not a role where you'll learn the system on the job
- Direct experience with a real estate investment firm, developer, property management company, or construction company
- Strong Excel skills
- Highly organized, detail-obsessed, and able to anticipate company needs in advance rather than waiting to be asked
Hours & Expectations
This is a salaried, in-person position. Five days a week in office; this role is not remote or hybrid. Closing weeks (roughly the first two weeks of each month, for the prior month) run heavier than a standard 40, and we expect candidates to come in understanding that.
Compensation & Benefits
- $75,000 – $90,000 annually, depending on experience
- 401(k), medical, and dental offered through our PEO partner
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Pay: $78,000.00 - $95,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- 401(k)
- Dental insurance
- Health insurance
- Paid sick time
- Paid time off
- Vision insurance
- Work from home
Work Location: In person

Tips for Your Remote Real Estate Accountant Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote real estate accountant openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search roles by function and apply directly to the ones that match your software experience and seniority, before competitive postings fill.
Show your real estate software stack upfront
Remote employers filter fast on Yardi, MRI Software, and AppFolio proficiency. Name the specific modules you've used, like Yardi Voyager for CAM reconciliations or MRI for lease abstracts, in the first few lines of your resume.
Demonstrate async close-cycle communication
Remote real estate accounting teams run month-end close without being in the same room. Mention in your application how you've documented close checklists, flagged variances in writing, or coordinated accruals with property managers across time zones.
Highlight ASC 842 and CAM reconciliation experience
These two areas separate generalist accountants from real estate specialists in remote interviews. If you've handled straight-line rent calculations or produced CAM true-up schedules, call that out explicitly, since remote hiring managers screen for them before scheduling a call.
Remote Real Estate Accountant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote real estate accountant job?
Target companies with distributed finance teams, including remote-first real estate investment firms, property management platforms, and REITs that run accounting operations entirely online. Remote employers screen for proficiency in Yardi, MRI Software, or AppFolio alongside strong written communication and the ability to manage close cycles without in-person oversight. Candidates who can demonstrate autonomous CAM reconciliation, lease accounting under ASC 842, and clear async reporting habits stand out.
Which companies hire remote real estate accountants?
Companies hiring remote real estate accountants right now include BCGK, CohnReznick, and The RMG, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote openings are especially common at remote-first property management platforms, distributed private equity real estate firms, and REITs that centralize their accounting functions away from individual properties.
Can you get a remote real estate accountant job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level real estate accountant roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal hand-holding. Property management software companies and smaller remote-first REITs are more likely to hire entry-level candidates. Showing proficiency in Yardi or AppFolio through coursework, a certificate, or freelance bookkeeping for a landlord can open the door.
Do you need a degree for remote real estate accountant jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers prioritize hands-on experience with real estate accounting software and a demonstrated ability to handle CAM reconciliations, straight-line rent, and lease abstracts over a specific degree. A CPA license or progress toward one carries significant weight, and candidates who can show clean work product and reliable async output often move forward without a four-year accounting degree.
