About Guardian Properties

Guardian Properties, part of the Proper family of companies, is a fast-growing multifamily investment and property management firm focused on value-add assets across key U.S. markets. We combine hands-on operational expertise with data-driven financial oversight to maximize performance and long-term value for investors and residents alike.

We’re seeking a Senior Property Accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. This role is tactical and execution-focused — perfect for an accounting professional who understands multifamily property operations, enjoys full-cycle accounting, and takes ownership of accurate and timely financial reporting.

About the Role

The Senior Property Accountant will manage the full accounting cycle for a portfolio of multifamily properties (approximately 10–15 assets / ~1,000 units). This individual will be responsible for all property-level accounting activities — including journal entries, reconciliations, financial reporting, and month-end close — while ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to GAAP standards.

This is a hands-on role requiring strong attention to detail, independent problem-solving, and the ability to work collaboratively with both onshore and offshore team members.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform full-cycle accounting for a portfolio of multifamily properties, including general ledger, AP / AR, bank reconciliations, and accruals.
  • Prepare monthly financial statements, variance analyses, and supporting schedules for 10–15 properties.
  • Manage and review offshore accounting resources, ensuring accuracy and timely completion of assigned tasks.
  • Reconcile balance sheets, bank statements, and intercompany accounts monthly.
  • Review rent rolls, property management reports, and operating statements to ensure consistency with accounting records.
  • Process journal entries, fixed assets, and adjustments in accordance with GAAP.
  • Monitor property-level cash flows and coordinate funding requests with asset management.
  • Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and audit support as needed.
  • Ensure compliance with company policies, lender requirements, and internal controls.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline processes and improve accounting efficiency.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of property accounting experience, with at least 3 years focused on multifamily real estate.
  • Strong understanding of full-cycle property accounting and GAAP principles.
  • Proficiency in AppFolio preferred; Yardi or similar property accounting system experience accepted.
  • Experience using QuickBooks is a plus.
  • Ability to manage and review offshore team members or third-party accounting resources.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of meeting tight deadlines.
  • Strong analytical and reconciliation skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and maintain accountability in a fast-paced environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required.
  • CPA or progress toward CPA designation a plus but not required.
  • Who You Are

  • A self-starter with a strong work ethic and commitment to accuracy.
  • Detail-driven but able to maintain focus on deadlines and priorities.
  • Hands-on and resourceful, comfortable managing multiple entities and balancing competing needs.
  • Tech-savvy and process-minded, with an eye for efficiency.
  • A team player who takes pride in producing reliable, high-quality work.
  • Benefits

    Why Join Guardian Properties

  • Opportunity to contribute to a high-growth, value-add multifamily portfolio within a tech-forward organization.
  • Collaborative and supportive team culture that values accountability and autonomy.
  • Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience.
  • Exposure to both the operations and investment sides of multifamily real estate.
  • Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
