What you'll do

  • Prepare monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements for a portfolio of community associations.
  • Record monthly expense accruals so each period carries the costs that actually belong to it.
  • Assemble complete financial packages for board presentations and management review.
  • Maintain audit-ready workpapers that support every number in the statements.
  • Hit a fixed monthly close calendar across several communities at the same time.
  • Review and approve financial work prepared by other members of the accounting team.
  • Catch errors before they reach a board packet, rather than after a board member finds them.
  • Keep treatment consistent across every community in the portfolio.
  • Perform monthly bank reconciliations for operating and reserve accounts.
  • Reconcile other balance sheet accounts and resolve differences properly instead of forcing them to balance.
  • Keep reserve funds and operating funds correctly separated at all times.
  • Review, prepare, enter, track and report community budgets.
  • Flag variances against budget and identify what is actually driving them.
  • Support the annual budget preparation cycle.
  • Set up new communities and their accounts as they come on board.
  • Process community terminations, including the final reconciliation and clean handover.
  • Maintain accurate, complete and retrievable financial records throughout.
  • Handle a high volume of calls and emails from the internal team, community managers and board members.
  • Explain financial statements to people who are not accountants, in language they can act on.
  • Stay calm and professional in difficult conversations and with strong personalities.
  • Respond quickly.

What they require

  • An active CPA license.
  • Strong working knowledge of GAAP, applied in a community association or comparable multi-entity environment.
  • A demonstrated ability to carry high volume across multiple client accounts without accuracy slipping.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel for reconciliations, budget tracking and financial reporting, plus solid Microsoft Word.
  • Strong written and verbal English, including the ability to explain numbers to non-financial readers.
  • Availability to work full time on a US Mountain Standard Time schedule.
  • A reliable home setup: a working computer, stable high-speed internet and a backup connection.
  • Direct experience with homeowner association (HOA) or community association accounting.
  • Experience on a community association management platform such as Vantaca, TOPS, CINC, Jenark or Caliber.
  • Experience presenting or explaining financials to a board, committee or non-financial manager.
  • Experience with reserve fund accounting and the operating/reserve fund split.
  • Experience closing many entities on a fixed monthly calendar.
  • You reconcile to zero.
  • When something does not tie, you find out why rather than forcing it.
  • You would rather flag a problem early and be wrong than stay quiet and be right.
  • You can explain a variance to someone who has never read a financial statement, without making them feel stupid.
  • You stay level when a board member is upset, and you do not take it personally.
  • You own a mistake out loud, quickly, and usually with the correction already in hand.
  • You are comfortable being the person who catches what everyone else missed.
  • You answer. Quickly.
  • Even when the answer is "I am on it, you will have it Thursday."
