Accounting Manager

Accounting Manager (US Real Estate & Corporate Accounting)

Remote (Mexico)

Salary Range:
USD $3000 - $3500 per month

About the Company

Our client is a
US-based commercial real estate firm
with operations across
property management, real estate development, and brokerage
. Founded in 2017, the company is technology-forward and operates from an
owner's perspective
, focusing on scalable processes, strong controls, and long-term value creation.

As the business continues to grow, they are building an
accounting center of excellence in Mexico
and are looking for a senior accounting professional who can
own the accounting function, manage junior resources, and help standardize and scale operations
.

About the Role

This is a
senior, hands-on Accounting Manager role
supporting both
corporate accounting
and
US property management accounting
.

You will act as the
bridge between day-to-day bookkeeping and strategic financial oversight
, managing junior bookkeepers while maintaining responsibility for quality, reporting, controls, and process improvement.

This role is
not pure bookkeeping
and
not a Director-level executive role
— it is ideal for someone who enjoys
owning the accounting function, mentoring others, and building structure
in a growing organization.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting Oversight & Reporting

• Oversee day-to-day accounting activities across multiple entities (corporate and property-level)
• Review and validate rent rolls, reimbursements, utility billbacks, and receivables
• Support month-end and period-end close processes
• Prepare and review financial statements, variance analyses, and budget vs. actual reports
• Assist with property-level and corporate financial reporting for internal leadership and external stakeholders

Property & Corporate Accounting

• Work with
  US real estate portfolios
  , primarily using
  AppFolio and QuickBooks Online
• Review tenant leases and management agreements to ensure accounting compliance
• Reconcile operating expenses, real estate taxes, and tenant pro-rata allocations
• Track intercompany transactions, deposits, distributions, and cash flows
• Support audit requests and tax preparation in coordination with third-party advisors

Team Leadership & Process Building

• Manage and review the work of junior bookkeepers and accounting staff
• Develop, document, and continuously improve
  Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• Implement internal controls and accounting best practices
• Train team members and support long-term scalability of the accounting function
• Collaborate closely with leadership to improve systems, workflows, and reporting quality

Tools & Systems

• Daily use of
  QuickBooks Online
• Regular interaction with
  AppFolio
  (experience preferred but not required)
• Leverage technology and AI tools (e.g., Grammarly, automation tools) to enhance accuracy and efficiency

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
  , ideally with exposure to:
• US companies
• Real estate, property management, or multi-entity environments
• Strong understanding of
  corporate accounting fundamentals
• Experience reviewing or managing bookkeeping work
• Comfortable working with
  US GAAP concepts
  (CPA a plus, not required)
• High attention to detail with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Proven ability to
  build structure, improve processes, and mentor others

Language & Communication

• Advanced spoken English
  (accent is not an issue)
• Ability to clearly explain financial information in meetings and calls
• Written English does not need to be perfect — tools like Grammarly are used internally

Why This Role Is Attractive

• Senior-level ownership without executive-level pressure
• Exposure to
  US real estate and corporate accounting
• Opportunity to
  build and lead a growing accounting team
• Long-term growth as the company scales operations
• Stable, full-time role with a US company while working from Mexico
