Expert Real Estate Bookkeeper (Fix & Flip + Rentals) – Urgent Clean-Up & Ongoing Management

Full Job Description

We are a Real Estate Development company looking for an expert Bookkeeper to take over our books, manage a transition from a previous provider, and bring our accounts current. We deal heavily in both Fix and Flips and Rental Properties. We are currently over one year behind on bookkeeping. We need a professional who is not afraid of a backlog, can audit the previous bookkeeper’s work for consistency, and establish a clean, accurate set of books moving forward.

Compensation: $1,000 for initial cleanup - $200/mo for part time ongoing bookkeeping.

Job Responsibilities

• Loan Management: Record new loans, payoffs, and specifically Refinances. You must be able to read a HUD-1/ALTA Settlement Statement and create the necessary Journal Entries to balance the transaction (loan amount, closing costs, escrow reserves, etc.).
• Asset Management: Ensure properties are booked correctly onto the Balance Sheet (Land vs. Building vs. Improvements).
• Transition: Analyze the Chart of Accounts and methodologies used by the previous bookkeeper to ensure continuity, or recommend corrections where necessary.

Job Requirements

Software: Expert proficiency in QuickBooks Online (specifically using Class tracking).

Industry Experience (Minimum 3–5 years): Proven experience in Real Estate Development, specifically with the nuances of flipping and holding rentals simultaneously.

Technical Skills: Deep understanding of HUD-1 statements, escrow accounts, hard money loans, and inter-company transfers.
