Property Accountant

CityPlat, LLC · Raleigh, NC

Full-time · On-site, with hybrid flexibility after 90 days

$50,000 – $60,000 base, commensurate with experience, plus performance bonus

CityPlat is a boutique commercial real estate firm based in Raleigh. We acquire, lease, develop, and manage industrial and flex properties, multi-tenant retail, and net-lease assets across North Carolina and beyond, with an in-house brokerage alongside the ownership platform.

We are hiring a Property Accountant to own the day-to-day accounting operations of our portfolio. It is a hands-on seat with real scope: you will keep the books clean and current across a multi-entity structure and serve as the in-house counterpart to our external accounting firm.

What You'll Do

Bank Reconciliations & Cash

• Perform monthly bank reconciliations across operating, security deposit, reserve, and escrow accounts; research

and clear reconciling items promptly

• Record daily cash activity and monitor balances at the property and entity level

Accounts Payable

• Manage the AP cycle end to end: invoice intake, GL coding, approval routing, and payment runs

• Maintain the vendor master file, including W-9s, insurance certificates, and annual 1099 preparation

Accounts Receivable & Tenant Billing

• Post rent rolls and recurring charges, and maintain charge schedules as leases are signed, amended, or expire

• Apply cash receipts, maintain the AR aging, and drive collection follow-up on past-due balances

General Ledger & Close

• Maintain accurate, current general ledger records across all entities and properties, and execute month-end close

• Support CAM, insurance, and real estate tax billings, estimates, and annual recovery reconciliations

• Track debt service and escrow activity, and prepare property- and entity-level reporting packages

Transaction & Closing Accounting

• Book acquisition and disposition closings from settlement statements, including purchase price allocation and prorations

• Set up new ownership entities and properties in our system as deals close

Brokerage Accounting

• Track commission receivables and process agent and broker commission splits and payouts

• Maintain brokerage trust and escrow account records, including monthly reconciliation

Coordination with External Accounting

• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for our external accounting and tax team, delivering clean records and reconciliations on schedule

• Support them through month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close, tax preparation, and financial statements

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience

• 4+ years of full-cycle or property accounting experience, including direct ownership of bank reconciliations and AP

• Experience maintaining a multi-entity set of books, with a working command of double-entry accounting through the trial balance

• Hands-on experience with a commercial property management accounting system — Yardi, MRI, RealPage, or comparable

• Strong Excel skills and comfort reconciling large system exports

• Attention to detail, consistent follow-through, and the ability to run your own day-to-day

A note on systems: Our books run on Yardi Voyager. Prior Yardi experience is a significant advantage, but if you bring the accounting fundamentals from another commercial platform, we will invest in getting you up to speed.

Benefits

Health insurance · paid time off and holidays · retirement plan · annual performance bonus · professional development support, including Yardi and continuing education

In your note, tell us about a CAM or operating expense reconciliation you have performed, or the closest equivalent in your experience — that tells us more than a resume does.
