About the role

Staff Accountant for Renu. The role involves account reconciliations, month-end packages, journal entries, AppFolio work, SOP and automation work, ad hoc projects, and reporting. Success means finishing reconciliations for all accounts on time and accurately.

Work Information

• Work Set Up: Fully remote
• Schedule: Monday to Friday, from 9PM to 6AM

Required Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Accountancy or a closely related field.
• 2–4 years of hands-on accounting experience, including significant bank reconciliation and general ledger responsibility.
• Working knowledge of US GAAP fundamentals (accrual accounting, prepaids, intercompany transactions).
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, high-volume data handling) and comfort working in Google Workspace (shared Sheets-based workflows).
• Excellent written and spoken English, suitable for daily professional communication with a US team.
• Willingness and ability to work a night-shift schedule aligned to US Eastern hours on a sustained basis (statutory night differential applies).
• High degree of accuracy, reliability, and discretion in handling sensitive banking and financial information

It would be a great advantage if you have the following:

• CPA (Philippine board passer) or actively pursuing licensure.
• Experience in real estate or property management accounting — single-family or multi-family residential, including trust/escrow account handling.
• Experience with AppFolio (or comparable platforms such as Yardi, Buildium, or Entrata).
• Prior experience supporting US clients in a BPO/KPO, shared services, or offshore team environment.
• Experience in multi-entity environments with high account volumes.

Key responsibilities

• Perform daily and weekly bank reconciliations across approximately 60 operating, rent/trust, and security depositaccounts spanning RENU corporate entities and managed client portfolios, keeping accounts continuously reconciled ahead of month-end.
• Prepare month-end reconciliation packages (reconciliation reports and supporting workpapers) for each account in line with the monthly close calendar.
• Prepare and post journal entries in AppFolio — bank charges and interest, accruals, intercompany billbacks, and payroll allocations — with clear, reviewable supporting documentation.
• Investigate and resolve unreconciled and outstanding items; document findings in the shared reconciliation workbook and escalate aged items with a recommended resolution.
• Support the monthly financial close: trial balance tie-outs, supporting schedules, and assistance to the Controller and Senior Accounting Manager to meet reporting deadlines.
• Record intercompany and treasury movements (rent-to-operating transfers, funding transfers, payroll reimbursements) in coordination with the Treasury team.
• Maintain and improve standard operating procedures for reconciliation and journal entry processes; identify opportunities to apply automation and AI-assisted tools to increase accuracy and efficiency.
• Communicate proactively and clearly in writing with US-based colleagues — daily status updates, queries, and clean handoffs across the time difference.
• Ad hoc analysis, reporting, and projects as required by the Controller and CFO
