Job Description
About the Position We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Accounting Assistant to join our real estate brokerage team. This position will provide day-to-day accounting and administrative support while working closely with real estate agents, brokerage leadership, and internal operations. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, is comfortable managing multiple priorities, and takes pride in accuracy and follow-through. Experience in real estate, accounting, or bookkeeping is preferred. Why Join Us? We believe our people are one of the most important parts of our success. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, growing real estate brokerage where your work has a direct impact on the day-to-day success of our agents and the organization. In this role, you won't be limited to one small area of accounting. You will have the opportunity to become an integral part of the brokerage's accounting and operations functions, working across financial processes, agent support, transaction management, billing, and technology systems. You will work closely with the CFO, agents, and internal teams, giving you the opportunity to learn the business from the inside out, develop new skills, and take ownership of meaningful responsibilities. We value people who are proactive, curious, and willing to identify opportunities to improve processes rather than simply following them. If you enjoy a position where no two days are exactly alike, where attention to detail matters, and where you can see the direct results of your work, this could be an excellent opportunity to grow with our team. Key Responsibilities Process and record daily deposits accurately and timely. Convert sales orders and purchase orders within the brokerage's systems. Ensure transactions are properly entered, processed, and maintained through completion. Coordinate with agents and internal staff to resolve discrepancies or missing information. Assist with onboarding new agents and maintaining accurate agent records. Assist with accounts payable processing and vendor payments. Manage accounts receivable activities, including billing and payment follow-up. Research and resolve billing discrepancies as needed. Review transactions for accuracy and ensure proper coding and documentation. What We're Looking For 2+ years of accounting, bookkeeping, administrative, or related experience preferred. Real estate brokerage or transaction experience is a plus. Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy. Excellent organizational and time-management skills. Ability to manage multiple tasks and competing priorities. Strong communication and customer service skills. Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel. Experience with Sage Intacct, Salesforce, or Stripe is a plus. Ability to learn new systems and processes quickly. Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to take ownership of tasks from start to finish.
