Full Job Description
About The Role

We are looking for a Property Accountant to ensure accounting integrity across features that touch our clients' resident ledgers and accounting workflows. You will be the in-house authority on multifamily accounting, helping teams deliver products that interact seamlessly with our client accounting teams and systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Advise on core scenarios - Guide treatment of rent, concessions, deposits/refunds, subsidies/HAP, delinquencies, utilities, move-in/out, and month-end close
  • Translate workflows into requirements - Turn real-world accounting cases into clear requirements and acceptance tests; pressure-test features before release
  • Review calculations and language - Validate prorations, allocations, adjustments, and charge/credit logic for accuracy and explainability
  • Lead testing and validation - Develop representative test cases, run UAT with client accountants, and confirm outputs reconcile to expectations
  • Define standards and terminology - Establish consistent event lifecycles, terms, and concise reference guides for controllers and onsite teams
  • Capture best practices - Distill patterns and edge cases from enterprise customers into durable standards and playbooks


Move at rocket speed, build something massive.

We're scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff.

We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It's hard, it's intense, and it's the most rewarding work you'll ever do. If you're hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.

Requirements
  • 2-4 years in multifamily property accounting or controllership at a PMC/owner-operator/REIT (ideally multifamily)
  • Deep knowledge across GL & sub-ledgers, resident ledgers, deposits, and close; strong US GAAP grounding
  • Comfortable communicating with client accounting/operations/leasing teams
  • Crisp stakeholder communications, including writing & presentations
  • Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a week


Preferred
  • Experience working in a software / SaaS environment
  • Familiarity with leading multifamily systems and data handoffs
  • Familiarity with AI and/or automation as they relate to accounting workflows


Why Join

Growth and impact. It's not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn!) startup that's scaling so fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you'll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You'll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn't when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.

Benefits

In addition to the growth and impact you'll have at EliseAI, we offer competitive salaries along with the following benefits:
  • Equity in the company
  • Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
  • Fully paid parental leave
  • Commuter benefits
  • 401k benefits
  • Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters
  • A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and all meals covered in the office
  • Unlimited vacation and paid holidays
  • We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful!


Job Compensation Range

The salary range for this role is $70,000 - $110,000. EliseAI offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits & perks package. Exact compensation is determined based on a number of factors including experience, skill level, location and qualifications which are assessed during the interview process. Additional details about total compensation and benefits will be provided by our Recruiting Team during the hiring process.
