Bookkeeper – Multifamily Real Estate

Location: Greater Chicago Area (On-Site, 1 Remote Day/Week)
Salary: $70,000–$80,000 + Benefits
Company: QMR Partners, LLC
Employment Type: Full-Time

About QMR Partners, LLC

QMR Partners, LLC is a real estate investment and property management firm established in December 2020. Our growing portfolio consists of 25 multifamily properties valued at over $150 million throughout the Greater Chicago area.

We focus on disciplined acquisitions, operational excellence, and long-term value creation across our assets. As we continue to expand, we are building the internal infrastructure to support that growth.

Position Overview

QMR Partners is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Bookkeeper to oversee day-to-day accounting operations for our multifamily portfolio and parent company.

This role will manage property-level financial activity within AppFolio, ensure accurate revenue and expense tracking, perform reconciliations, and produce timely monthly financial reporting.

The Bookkeeper will report directly to the Principal, providing significant visibility and exposure to ownership-level decision-making.

Growth Opportunity

This role is designed to grow alongside the company. As our portfolio expands, we anticipate this position evolving into a Controller-level role responsible for overseeing the full accounting function.
