Experienced
We are seeking a detail-oriented Real Estate Bookkeeper to manage our financial data entry and Accounts Payable (A/P) processes.

You will be responsible for verifying invoices entered by property staff on OneSite and managing the transfer and final processing of these records in RealPage. A key component of this role involves auditing invoices for accuracy against the system data and executing payments through third-party vendors such as Avid Exchange to maintain a paperless workflow. Additionally, you will act as an implementation interface, helping to document processes and identify areas to streamline communication between vendors, property managers, and the accounting department.
