Director of Property Accounting

About us AAA Sahbudak Property LLC is a licensed property management firm based in Orange Park, Florida, managing single-family homes, multi-family properties, and condominiums across Clay and Duval counties. We run a transparent operation: zero markup on maintenance, 99% on-time rent collection, and owner statements that actually reconcile. We’re small enough that your work is visible and large enough that it matters. The role We’re hiring a Director of Property Accounting to own our owner accounting function end to end — the team, the books, and the relationships. Here’s the thing about property management accounting that general accountants underestimate: your financial statements go directly to the people whose money you’re holding. An owner opens their statement every month and decides whether they still trust us. That makes this a client service role as much as an accounting one, and we’re hiring someone who understands both halves. You’ll lead a team of bookkeeping and accounting staff, but you’re the head coach. Trust reconciliations, accounts payable, owner disbursements, and the monthly close happen accurately and on time because you own them, not because someone else was supposed to. You’ll review and approve what your team produces before it reaches an owner. You’ll onboard new owners, which often means diagnosing and fixing books someone else neglected. And you’ll build the checklists, timelines, and documented processes that let this function scale past you. Our goal is for you to own this book of business and grow it. As door count grows, so does your team and your scope. This is a fully remote role, open anywhere in the United States, with core availability 8am to 5pm Eastern, Monday through Friday.
