Remote Real Estate Bookkeeper (Independent & Direct Reporting)

Location: 100% Remote

Pay Range: $25.00 – $35.00 per hour (Based on experience)

Status: Part-time / Contract (Estimated 10-15 hours/month)

The Opportunity

A local real estate owner in Orange, CT, is looking for a sharp, independent Bookkeeper to take full ownership of the financial records for a portfolio of real estate properties. This is a "no-red-tape" position. You will work directly with the owner (the primary decision-maker) to ensure our books are accurate, transparent, and tax-ready.

If you enjoy working autonomously, solving the "detective work" of property management statements, and want a stable, long-term partnership, we would love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Full-Cycle Property Bookkeeping: Manage all financial records specifically for our real estate entities using QuickBooks Online or Xero.
• PM Platform Oversight: Log into Buildium or AppFolio to reconcile monthly owner statements, verify repair invoices, and track rental income.
• The "Detective" Work: We need someone who enjoys matching deposits to units and ensuring that security deposits and capital improvements are handled correctly.
• Weekly Sync: We will have a scheduled 20-30 minute phone meeting once a week to go over reports, answer "open item" questions, and ensure we are on track.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• All Tools Provided: We provide all necessary software licenses (Xero/QBO, Buildium/AppFolio).
• True Independence: As long as the books are reconciled and you're ready for the weekly call, you manage your own schedule.

Requirements

• Software Mastery: High-level proficiency in QuickBooks Online or Xero.
• Real Estate Tech: Proven experience navigating Buildium or AppFolio is preferred.
• Ownership Mindset: You are a self-starter who doesn't need reminders to hit monthly deadlines.
• Communication: Clear, honest, and proactive. You aren't afraid to flag a discrepancy when you see one.

Pay: $25.00 - $35.00 per hour

Expected hours: 10.0 – 15.0 per week

Benefits:

• Flexible schedule
• Work from home
