Senior Property Accountant Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a senior property accountant in Texas?
The concrete path starts with a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, followed by several years of hands-on property accounting experience in roles like staff or junior property accountant. Earning a Texas CPA license through the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, which requires passing the Uniform CPA Exam and meeting Texas's education and experience requirements, significantly strengthens your candidacy. Employers in Texas's large commercial and multifamily markets consistently favor candidates with Yardi or MRI software experience alongside that credential.
How much do senior property accountants make in Texas?
Senior 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 senior property accountants in Texas?
Employers hiring senior 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 deep concentration of commercial real estate firms, multifamily REITs, and property management companies means demand for experienced property accountants stays consistent throughout the year across the state's major metros.
Which Texas cities have the most senior property accountant jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Austin have the most senior property accountant openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its enormous commercial real estate sector and the headquarters presence of major firms like Hines, while Dallas's dense REIT and multifamily portfolio market drives strong demand, and Austin's rapid growth in mixed-use and residential development has added a steady stream of property accounting roles over the past several years.
Are there remote senior property accountant jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than many accounting specialties, since senior property accountants work primarily with software, spreadsheets, and financial reports rather than on physical properties. About 57% of senior property accountant openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the desk-based nature of the role. General ledger maintenance, financial statement preparation, and CAM reconciliation work are the tasks most commonly performed remotely, while on-site tenant meetings and property visits remain more rarely fully remote.
How can I get hired as a senior property accountant in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing a staff accountant or accounts payable role at a Texas property management company or REIT, then building exposure to rent rolls, lease abstracts, and CAM reconciliations on the job. Large Texas-based firms like Lincoln Property Company and Transwestern regularly hire entry-level accounting staff who grow into property accounting roles internally. Completing the Texas CPA exam process early and gaining Yardi or MRI software familiarity through coursework or temp placements gives candidates a measurable edge when applying to junior property accounting positions.
Where can I find and apply to senior property accountant jobs in Texas?
