You'll work in Vantaca (our property management platform) and be responsible for your clients' financial health.

What Success Looks Like You'll have clear, measurable targets including financials processed within SLA, vendor payments processed, and response times to vendors and property managers. We use weekly scorecards to track what mattersno ambiguity about whether you're winning.

Who Thrives Here: The right person for this seat lives our CHAPI values: Client Focus You see every task through the lens of "how does this serve the client?" When a board member has a question, you find the answer. When something's off, you flag it. Hustle You take extreme ownership of your work. If an issue arises, you don't wait for someone to notice you address it. You manage your workload proactively. Adaptability Processes evolve. Systems change. Clients have different needs. You approach change as an opportunity, not an obstacle. Positivity You don't drag others down. When things get busy (and they will), you stay steady. You're someone people want to work with. Integrity You do the right thing even when no one's watching. You're accurate because it matters, not because someone's checking.
