The Financial Operations (FinOps) team at Nomad powers the core of our business: guaranteed owner payments. We manage property-level bookkeeping, owner disbursements, bank reconciliations, and collections across thousands of properties. As Nomad grows and our financial products evolve, this team sits at the intersection of operations, accounting, and customer experience. You'll work closely with customer success, engineering, product, and finance to keep money moving accurately and on time.
About the Role
We're looking for a Property Accounting Manager to lead our property accounting operations and manage a small team of specialists. This is a player-coach role: you'll own critical accounting workflows yourself while also supporting, developing, and directing your team. You'll inherit a team of 3 across multiple states with diverse skill sets: from collections to bookkeeping to customer escalations.
This role reports to the Head of Financial Operations & Strategy, and also works closely with the Head of Finance. If you're energized by operational accounting, comfortable managing people, and want to build something at a company that's redefining residential real estate, this could be the role for you.
In the role, you'll:
- Lead the team: Manage 3 direct reports across bookkeeping, collections, and financial operations. Set priorities, remove blockers, and develop talent.
-
Own property accounting operations:
-
Oversee owner payment workflows (guaranteed rent disbursements, earnings calculations)
- Manage bank reconciliations and balance sheet controls
- Ensure accuracy across multiple bank accounts and money movement
- Drive collections and delinquency: Bring structure and fresh energy to our most important and most neglected function. Own the process, manage escalations, and improve outcomes.
-
Support and develop your team:
-
Be the go-to resource when bookkeeping gets gnarly; trace debits and credits, troubleshoot discrepancies
- Coach team members on accounting fundamentals and operational excellence
- Partner cross-functionally: Work with Customer Success to define escalation paths, with Engineering/Product on system improvements, and with Finance on corporate accounting touchpoints.
- Get your hands dirty: This isn't a sit-back-and-delegate role. You'll run paydays, do balance sheet checks, and step in wherever needed.
Who you are
- 4+ years of accounting or bookkeeping experience, with at least 1-2 years managing people
- Used to working in a start-up environment is required
- Strong general ledger fluency; you can trace transactions, reconcile accounts, and explain what's happening in the books
- Comfortable managing multiple bank accounts and orchestrating money movement
- Experience with operational accounting (not just AP/AR clerk work). You've owned processes end-to-end
- People management skills: you've inherited or built a team, navigated different personalities, and held people accountable
- Detail-oriented but not paralyzed by ambiguity; startup environments require both
- Strong communicator who can translate accounting concepts for non-accountants
Nice to have:
- Property management or real estate tech background (AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, Rent Manager)
- Marketplace or fintech experience (money in, money out, fees, trust accounting)
- Collections or delinquency management experience
- Experience with QuickBooks, BILL, Stripe, or similar
- Familiarity with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) for productivity

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Property Accountant
Target REITs and large property management firms
Real estate investment trusts and national property management companies file H-1B petitions regularly. Their accounting departments are large enough to absorb sponsorship costs and have established legal processes for international hires.
Pursue CPA licensure or demonstrate active progress
Employers sponsoring property accountants want candidates who are CPA-eligible or actively sitting for exams. It signals long-term value and strengthens the specialty occupation case USCIS requires for H-1B approval.
Emphasize real estate-specific accounting knowledge
Experience with CAM reconciliations, lease accounting under ASC 842, or property depreciation schedules differentiates you. Employers are more likely to sponsor candidates who can contribute immediately without extensive training in industry-specific processes.
Frame your degree field carefully in applications
H-1B specialty occupation requires a directly related degree. A degree in accounting or finance maps cleanly to property accountant roles. Degrees in business administration or economics may require additional documentation to satisfy USCIS requirements.
Ask about sponsorship policy before the final interview round
Raise visa sponsorship after demonstrating your value, ideally after a second interview. Asking too early screens you out before employers know your skills. Framing it as a procedural question rather than a negotiation keeps the conversation productive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a property accountant get H-1B sponsorship?
Yes. Property accountant roles qualify as H-1B visa specialty occupations because they normally require at least a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a closely related field. USCIS has approved H-1B petitions for this role across real estate firms, REITs, and commercial property management companies. Having a directly related degree and a job description that specifies degree requirements strengthens the petition considerably.
What degree do I need for a sponsored property accountant role?
Most sponsoring employers require a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field. Some accept degrees in business administration, but USCIS scrutinizes those more closely for H-1B purposes because the connection to the specific role must be clearly established. A degree in accounting is the cleanest fit. CPA candidacy or licensure further supports the specialty occupation argument.
Do property management companies or REITs sponsor more frequently?
Both sponsor, but large REITs and publicly traded real estate companies tend to file more H-1B petitions because they have dedicated HR and legal infrastructure. Regional or independent property management firms sponsor less consistently. Searching Migrate Mate filters for companies with active sponsorship history, which helps identify employers who have gone through the process before.
Does a property accountant role qualify for an EB-3 green card?
Yes, property accountants can be sponsored for EB-3 (skilled worker) green cards when the role requires a bachelor's degree. The employer must complete PERM labor certification first, which involves advertising the position to demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available. Processing timelines vary significantly depending on your country of birth, with Indian and Chinese nationals facing multi-year backlogs.
What makes a property accountant application stronger for visa sponsorship?
Employers weigh CPA progress, experience with industry-specific tasks like CAM reconciliations or lease accounting under ASC 842, and proficiency in real estate accounting software. Candidates who can show immediate productivity in property-specific workflows reduce the employer's risk in sponsoring. A clearly matching degree field and a job description that explicitly requires that degree also make the H-1B petition easier to defend if USCIS issues a request for evidence.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Property Accountant jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
