Accountant / Bookkeeper — Short-Term Rental / Property Management

Topkey · Austin, TX · 2 mo ago
On-siteAccounting$110/hrFull-time

About the role

This is a hybrid role with two sides to it. On one side, you'll work closely with our product and engineering teams as a subject-matter expert, helping us sharpen the accounting workflows we're building, from owner statements to trust reconciliation to revenue recognition. Your day-to-day experience with the real pain of STR accounting will directly shape what we ship.

On the other side, you'll be in the work. That means hands-on accounting execution: reconciliations, close, owner ledgers, cleanup, edge cases. We believe the only way to build great accounting software is to stay close to the actual craft, and we need someone who's genuinely comfortable going back and forth between "how should this workflow function" and "let me just do the workflow."

Responsibilities

  • Own full-cycle accounting work including AP/AR, bank and credit card reconciliations, and month-end close
  • Prepare and review monthly financial statements, management reports, and cash flow analysis
  • Handle property-level accounting workflows including owner ledgers, owner statements, and trust account activity
  • Perform revenue reconciliation across PMS platforms (Guesty, Track, Hostaway, Streamline, OwnerRez, and others) and accounting systems (QBO, Sage, Xero)
  • Serve as an internal subject-matter expert on STR and vacation rental accounting
  • Ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP and relevant regulations

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of accounting experience, with direct experience in short-term rental, vacation rental, or property management accounting
  • Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online; experience with Sage, Xero, or NetSuite a plus
  • Hands-on experience with at least one major PMS (Guesty, Track, Hostaway, Streamline, OwnerRez, Rentvine, Hostfully, AppFolio)
  • Familiarity with trust accounting concepts and owner statement workflows
  • Advanced Excel
  • Sharp, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating independently in a fast-moving environment
  • Genuinely willing to operate across both advisory and execution work, not just one

How to Apply

In your application, include 2–3 sentences specifically describing your experience reconciling PMS data against a general ledger and any STR or vacation rental accounting work you've done. Applications without directly relevant experience will not be prioritized.
