About the Role

The company is a growing multifamily real estate investment and property management company serving communities across the Southeast. They operate at the property level with structured financial workflows, clear approval hierarchies, and tight budget controls. Clean books are non-negotiable.

This is a multi-entity environment. Community Managers initiate purchase orders. Regional Managers approve them. Accounting ensures every dollar aligns with proposals, budgets, and internal controls before funds move. Volume is steady. Precision matters.

The client needs an AP Specialist who can own the full vendor-to-payment lifecycle inside RealPage without constant supervision. Someone who catches discrepancies before they become problems. Someone who keeps reconciliations tight, documentation audit-ready, and reporting clean across multiple properties.
