Joiner and Associates was established in 1993 and is a growing property management company, with a secondary focus on real estate sales. We are looking for a property accountant to join our team.
The property accountant will handle various accounting tasks related to residential property management, including processing bills/invoices, depositing rent payments, creating monthly and annual income statements, utility bill prorations, and receiving and refunding security deposits.
Over the first 6-8 months the property accountant will gain a broader understanding of the company by working in some administrative and customer service capacities, such as answering the phones, receiving guests at the office, and assisting the property managers and the maintenance coordinator. The goal is to have a wider understanding of how we operate before fully focusing on bookkeeping duties by the end of the 6-8 months.
The property accountant should be trustworthy, highly organized, good with numbers, detail oriented, a fast learner, able to multitask, prioritize effectively, reliable, punctual, and work well in a fast paced work environment.
We aim to be the best property management company in Athens. To be the best, we want the best team members working with us. We strive to grow with our team members by aligning their personal career goals with the interest and trajectory of the company. Our team members are pivotal to our company's growth and success.
Our company separates ourselves from other property management companies by focusing on customer and client service, and by building a strong company culture. Our team members are self-motivated and work well in a small team setting.
We provide competitive salaries, paid time-off, paid holidays, additional tax-free wages for health care, end of year bonuses, mid-year bonuses, a paid volunteer day, and some other fringe benefits. We make efforts to create an enjoyable work environment as well.
