- Now Hiring (Immediate Opening)
- Makati City
- US Client (Proptech Company)
You will be the first. And when the team grows, you will lead it.
The U.S. real estate technology company we are hiring for does not yet have a dedicated property accountant utility billing Philippines team. You will build it. You will be the first person in this function, trained directly on their AI-powered platform, working alongside their core team in the United States, and setting the standard for how their real estate accounting Philippine team runs from Day 1.
If you perform, you will lead the pod as it grows. That’s the path we’re shaping together.
Ideal Candidate Profile
We are specifically looking for property accountant candidates with a background in utility billing accountant work, accounts payable property management, or invoice auditing for U.S. real estate clients. Experience with RealPage billing specialist workflows, Yardi, or Entrata is a strong advantage. If you have done real estate accounting Philippines-side work and want to do it for a U.S. proptech client, you’re in the right place.
The Company You’ll Help Shape
Our client is a fast-growing U.S. proptech company that automates utility billing and property management accounting for residential real estate operators. Their AI-powered platform handles invoice ingestion, RUBS compliance, anomaly detection, and account management for property portfolios across the United States. As part of their real estate back-office outsourcing strategy, they are scaling quickly and building their offshore operations capability now.
What Does a Property Accountant (Utility Billing) Do?
This is a cross-functional property management accounting role. Acting as a utility billing accountant, you will own three interconnected functions that form the operational backbone of how the platform serves its property management clients.
- 50% – Invoice Review & Resident Billing
- 30% – Utility Account Transitions
- 20% – Property Manager Support
What You Will Do
Invoice Review and Resident Billing | 50% of your time
- Review and audit utility invoices against property management ledger data: account numbers, service periods, usage figures, and charge line items.
- Review prebill reports before resident statement generation. Flag exceptions, make or recommend corrections, and clear the queue before billing output.
- As RUBS allocation specialist, confirm that allocated charges map correctly to unit occupancy, square footage, and applicable allocation methodology.
- Identify anomalies such as unusual spikes, zero-usage units, and mismatched billing periods before they reach the resident statement.
- Route exception items through the correct queue with documented root cause and recommended resolution. Daily accuracy standard: 99%+.
Utility Account Transitions | 30% of your time
- Coordinate service starts, stops, and transfers with U.S. utility providers when residents move in or out of managed properties.
- Manage vacant unit utility coverage between tenancies to prevent billing gaps and cost leakage.
- Own the open transfer queue. Track every item to confirmed completion. Target: 95% SLA compliance.
Property Manager Support | 20% of your time
- Handle Tier 1 inbound support from property manager clients on billing questions, RUBS allocation queries, exception explanations, and platform usage.
- Escalate Tier 2 issues to the client’s internal team with complete context documentation.
- Contribute to knowledge base articles based on recurring support patterns. Target: 4-hour first response, 4.5/5.0 CSAT.
