Accounting & Administrative Assistant — start on the invoices, grow into the ledger
Our client is a growing property management company, hiring an Accounting & Administrative Assistant to sit at the front of how money moves through the business: the invoices that come in from vendors and contractors, and the paperwork that has to line up behind them.
The client has been unusually direct about what this role is. You will start by processing vendor and contractor invoices. That is the job on day one, and it stays the job until you have shown you are accurate. About a third of your week goes to property administration: document management, communication support, and keeping things moving between people.
What makes this worth applying for is what comes after. The client hires for intelligence, energy and the ability to learn quickly rather than for a résumé, and they train people up from the basics into full-cycle accounts payable and receivable, reconciliations, month-end support and property accounting. If you have no accounting experience at all and you learn fast, they want to hear from you. If you have years of it and you are willing to start at the foundation, they want to hear from you too, and they will pay accordingly.
