Accounting Manager

Property Upsurge is a dynamic, local real estate investment firm that is growing throughout Northern California. We broker new real estate deals, perform the revitalization of dilapidated properties, and run a property management company. Our company has an upbeat, exciting culture and no two days are the same in our organization.

We are seeking a hands-on Accounting Manager to support our accounting and financial operations for an anticipated period of approximately 6 to 12 months.

This is an individual-contributor position reporting directly to the CFO. The role does not currently have direct reports. Because we are a small company, the Accounting Manager will be expected to move comfortably between higher-level accounting review and day-to-day transactional work as business needs require.

The successful candidate will help maintain accurate financial records, support month-end close, review accounting activity for accuracy and completeness, assist with financial statement preparation and review, and support a variety of recurring and ad hoc accounting functions.

Key Responsibilities

• Review the prior day’s journal entries and financial transactions for accuracy, appropriate coding, supporting documentation, and unusual activity.
• Review general ledger activity and identify errors, inconsistencies, or items requiring adjustment.
• Assist with the month-end close process, including adjusting entries, account review, and financial statement preparation.
• Review financial statements prior to issuance for accuracy, completeness, and reasonableness.
• Prepare and post adjusting journal entries, including entries related to mortgage principal, interest, escrow activity, and other financing transactions.
• Reconcile bank accounts on a regular basis.
• Book corporate credit card transactions, maintain supporting documentation, and complete monthly credit card reconciliations.
• Perform and support day-to-day accounting functions, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payment processing, and transaction coding.
• Assist with vendor invoice review, payment scheduling, receivable follow-up, and resolution of account discrepancies.
• Monitor outstanding reconciliation items and work with the CFO and accounting team to resolve discrepancies.
• Maintain and help improve accounting procedures, documentation, and internal controls.
• Support annual audit, tax, insurance, and other financial information requests as needed.
• Manage the Company’s commercial insurance policies, including renewals, documentation, policy administration, and coordination with brokers.
• Oversee the rent increase process across the managed property portfolio, including tracking, documentation, coordination with operations staff, and completion monitoring.
• Complete ad hoc accounting, financial, operational, and reporting projects as assigned by the CFO.
• Assist with accounting cleanup, process improvement initiatives, and other financial projects as business needs arise.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have:

• Bachelor’s degree
• Approximately 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including experience at the Senior Accountant and Accounting Manager level.
• Strong understanding of GAAP, general ledger accounting, journal entries, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation.
• Experience participating in or supporting a monthly close process.
• Working knowledge of accounts payable, accounts receivable, and other transactional accounting functions.
• Ability to review accounting work critically and identify errors, unusual transactions, or areas requiring follow-up.

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple recurring deadlines.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
