• Handle data entry, documentation, and file organization with care
• Flag recurring issues or friction points so we can address them at the workflow level
• Partner with senior accounting team members on cleanup and onboarding projects

Qualifications:

• 1-3 years of bookkeeping experience, with exposure to short-term rental, vacation rental, or property management bookkeeping
• Comfortable in QuickBooks Online
• Some exposure to a PMS (Guesty, Track, Hostaway, Streamline, OwnerRez, Rentvine, Hostfully, or similar) preferred
• Solid Excel skills
• Detail-oriented, organized, and responsive
• Willing to ask questions and learn on the fly
• Fluent English (B2+)
• Availability during U.S. business hours

Benefits:

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Remote
