Your key responsibilities will include processing accounts payable invoices, reviewing statements, reconciling transactions, and managing accounts receivable by researching customer issues, processing payments, and following up on unpaid deposits. Additionally, you will update member accounts in coordination with the sales team, process journal entries for the general ledger, and handle administrative tasks such as ensuring timely management reports and leading the month-end close process.

Your role is pivotal in maintaining accurate and efficient financial processes, supporting the overall success of the Kaneff Group's golf division.

You need to have at least 1-2 years' experience of property accounting AND/OR experience from retail/hospitality with POS systems, processing credit card transactions, and an understanding of revenue accounting. If you have Yardi experience or a background in property management, that would be idea.
