JOB OVERVIEW

COMPANY OVERVIEW
We are a private real estate holding company managing properties across multiple U.S. states. We focus on accurate financials, efficient operations, and modern systems like AppFolio for clear, property-level reporting.

POSITION SUMMARY
Seeking a senior AppFolio Transition & Oversight Specialist for a project-based cleanup of our QuickBooks + Rent Manager to AppFolio migration (live Jan 1, 2025), with strong potential for recurring quarterly reviews.

Primary task: Audit and resolve legacy issues (non-standard clearing accounts, timing mismatches, Nov–Dec 2024 duplicates) by mapping transferable items, executing GAAP-sound adjustments (e.g., immaterial residue to retained earnings per ASC 250 with documentation), and delivering a clean, audit-ready AppFolio foundation.

If the work is excellent, we bring you back quarterly (or as-needed) to review books, run trial balances/financials, check compliance, analyze variances, and ensure ongoing accuracy—without full-time commitment.

Must have proven transition experience and GAAP judgment to avoid audit risks (no excessive patching or dead-end entries). Fully remote (Philippines preferred), via Teams/SharePoint.

PROJECT SCOPE (Initial Cleanup)
- Forensic audit of legacy data; map chart of accounts and bridge entries.
- Reconcile/zero clearing accounts; eliminate duplicates.
- Apply GAAP: materiality calls, prior period error corrections recorded to retained earnings where appropriate (ASC 250), clear memos for decisions.
- Validate final AppFolio balances tie to historicals.
- Deliver: mapping summary, adjustment journals, before/after reconciliation, audit documentation.
- Primary ownership of corrective accounting entries during the cleanup phase, with documented rationale.

Estimated effort: 20–80 hours (1–4 weeks focused), depending on complexity.

RECURRING POTENTIAL
Quarterly oversight (10–20 hours/quarter): Run/review trial balances, P&Ls, compliance reports (trust/escrow), variance analysis; flag issues early; suggest improvements. Flexible—project or retainer basis if mutual fit.

WORK ARRANGEMENT
- Type: Independent contractor – project first, recurring option.
- Duration/Flex: Cleanup sprint; then quarterly as agreed.
- Hours: Flexible with 2–4 hours PST overlap (evenings PH time).
- Location: Remote; Philippines preferred.
- Tools: Reliable internet (20+ Mbps), modern PC/dual monitors. We provide AppFolio access, Teams, SharePoint.

MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years hands-on U.S. real estate/property accounting.
- 2+ years in software transitions/cleanups (e.g., QB/Rent Manager to AppFolio; share examples of legacy resolutions).
- Advanced AppFolio: property-segmented ledgers, clearing/bridge entries, reports, owner equity.
- Strong GAAP experience required: error corrections, adjustments without creating audit pitfalls. (Prefer: U.S. real estate clients)
- Multi-entity, trust/escrow compliance, fixed assets experience.
- Fluent English; Excel/Teams/AI research proficient.
- Independent, audit-minded, high integrity.

STRONG PLUS
- CPA or equivalent.
- Experience with quarterly reviews/oversight for remote clients.
- Forensic or post-migration work.

COMPENSATION
- Cleanup Project: Exact structure (fixed vs hourly) to be determined after scope confirmation.
- Quarterly Reviews (if extended): $500–$1,500 per quarter (or $15–$25/hour for hours worked), with potential retainer for predictability.
- Paid via PayPal/Wise; paid trial task to start. Bonuses for clean delivery/milestones.

ASSESSMENTS
Transition-focused tests:
- Clean sample legacy clearing into AppFolio; justify GAAP choices/documentation.
- Mock trial balance fix: resolve mismatches, retained earnings plug, audit notes.

TO APPLY
Via OnlineJobs.ph: Resume + cover letter detailing transition projects (challenges, GAAP decisions, outcomes), experience with quarterly oversight if any, preferred project fee, and interest in recurring work. References required. Shortlisted get assessments.

We're looking for someone sharp who can fix it right once, then keep us on track quarterly—let's make the books solid and stay that way!
