Job Description:

You will step in as the dedicated bookkeeper for a multi-property real estate portfolio, taking full ownership of a meaningful clean-up project before transitioning into a steady ongoing maintenance role. You will work directly with the business owner to get 2025 financials organised and tax-ready in QuickBooks Online, clear prior-year backlogs, and then maintain clean, audit-ready books on a monthly basis — giving the owner the financial clarity they need to grow with confidence.

Client Overview:

Our client is a growing real estate investment business managing a portfolio of six to eight properties. They operate across multiple real estate assets and require accurate, well-organised financial records to support tax compliance and ongoing business decisions. The business owner is hands-on and values a collaborative, detail-oriented bookkeeper who can bring order to their books and keep them running cleanly month after month.

Schedule:

• Monday to Friday, flexible schedule during the client’s business hours (US Eastern Time, 20 hours per week)

Responsibilities:

• Categorize and reconcile all 2025 financial transactions in QuickBooks Online to prepare for tax filing
• Complete bookkeeping clean-up for prior years, ensuring all records are accurate and up to date
• Manage ongoing monthly bookkeeping including bank reconciliations and transaction categorization
• Maintain organized and audit-ready financial records across multiple real estate properties
• Ensure proper categorization of expenses and income specific to real estate operations

Must-Have Requirements:

• Proficiency or certification in QuickBooks Online
• Demonstrated experience in bookkeeping for real estate businesses, including multi-property accounting
• Strong understanding of real estate account categorization and chart of accounts setup
• High level of attention to detail and accuracy in financial record-keeping
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Nice-to-Have Requirements:

• Experience preparing books specifically for tax filing season and coordinating with CPAs or tax preparers is a plus.
• Experience with rental property income, depreciation schedules, or property-level expense tracking is advantageous.
• Prior experience handling bookkeeping backlogs and bringing disorganized records up to date efficiently is a bonus.

Why Join This Team:

• 100% remote role — work from anywhere with a stable internet connection
• Stable, part-time engagement at 20 hours per week
• Work directly with the business owner — your input and categorization preferences are heard and respected
• Manageable, predictable workload of approximately 100 transactions per month across a defined portfolio of properties
• Meaningful starting project: the initial backlog clean-up gives you immediate, visible impact from day one
• Growth opportunity as the portfolio and bookkeeping needs expand over time
