You will independently own the month-end close cycle review the work of junior team members resolve complex technical discrepancies and serve as the technical backbone of the account working alongside a Controller or Sr. Controller who oversees overall account strategy.

WHAT YOULL DO

  • Own Full-Cycle Month-End Close: Lead and execute the complete close process for complex Vacation Rental and Hospitality accounts ensuring GAAP compliance precise accruals and clean balance sheets.
  • Complex Reconciliations & Revenue Recognition: Reconcile high-volume multi-property transaction data including owner statements trust/escrow accounts channel commissions (Airbnb VRBO Direct) and merchant processors against PMS data.
  • PMS & GL Integration: Identify troubleshoot and resolve complex discrepancies in booking occupancy tourist tax and revenue data flowing from PMS platforms into the general ledger.
  • Review & Quality Control: Review audit and mentor junior accountants/bookkeepers on the account serving as the first point of escalation for accounting judgment calls.
  • Financial Reporting & Analysis: Prepare accurate property-level and portfolio-level financial statements (P&L Balance Sheet Cash Flow) and perform detailed variance analysis for leadership and clients.
  • Process & Controls Improvement: Maintain and elevate accounting procedures specific to the vacation rental revenue cycle (management fee splits cleaning fee pass-throughs owner payouts and local tax compliance).
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with the Controller/Sr. Controller and communicate technical accounting insights clearly to client-side stakeholders.

MUST-HAVES (Non-Negotiable)

  • Solid Accounting Foundation: Bachelors degree in Accounting Finance or equivalent. CPA EA or progress toward CPA is strongly preferred.
  • 35 Years of Proven Accounting Experience: Demonstrable ownership of full month-end close cycles complex ledger entries and financial statement preparation (beyond basic transactional bookkeeping).
  • Hospitality & Vacation Rental/STR Expertise: Hands-on experience in Hospitality accounting (Hotels Multi-property or Short-Term Rentals) with direct experience in Trust/Escrow Accounting and owner disbursement cycles.
  • Strong US GAAP Knowledge: Solid technical grounding in US GAAP standards particularly around revenue recognition deferred revenue and accrued liabilities in service/hospitality environments.
  • High-Volume Data Mastery: Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills (complex formulas nested lookups pivot tables large dataset reconciliation models).
  • Multi-Entity / Multi-Property Exposure: Proven capability to handle multi-entity or multi-client structures simultaneously without sacrificing accuracy.

  • Modern Stack: Proficiency with cloud tools like QBO Ramp or NetSuite.
  • Industry Background: Previous experience working at a high-growth vacation rental operator/property management company (e.g. Vacasa Evolve Sonder Awning) or a specialized outsourced accounting firm.

NOT A FIT IF

  • Your experience is limited to transactional bookkeeping AP/AR entry or basic data input without full ownership of close and financial statements.
  • You do not have previous experience in Hospitality Property Management or Vacation Rentals.
  • You are unfamiliar with Trust/Escrow accounting dynamics or high-volume transactional reconciliations.
  • You are looking for a passive back-office role with no technical troubleshooting or client interaction.

  • 100% Remote Work with a US-based fast-growing firm.
  • Exposure to top-tier clients and business models within the dynamic Vacation Rental and Hospitality space.
  • Direct access to Controllers and firm leadership in a flat modern non-bureaucratic structure.
