We are seeking a detail-oriented Junior Property Accountant who we can train to take ownership of the day-to-day accounting for a portfolio of commercial retail properties. This is a hands-on role for an accountant who is ready to work with a degree of independence — administering tenant billings, interpreting lease clauses to drive accurate recoveries and rent adjustments, and managing receivables and payables across the portfolio.

- Rent step-ups: calculate and apply scheduled rent step-ups and other lease-driven rent adjustments, ensuring tenant accounts reflect current lease terms
- TI project accounting: maintain project accounting for tenant improvement (TI) allowances and related costs, tracking budgets, draws, and recoveries
- Tenant billings: prepare and issue monthly tenant billings, including base rent, additional rent, property taxes, and utility recoveries
- AR & collections: manage accounts receivable across the portfolio, monitor tenant arrears, and actively follow up on and collect outstanding balances
- Accounts payable: code, verify, and process vendor invoices and property payables, ensuring proper approvals and accurate cost allocation
- Tax: calculate and assist with the remittance of GST and applicable taxes
- Records & close: maintain accurate tenant and lease records in the property management/accounting system and support month-end close for assigned properties
- Year-end support: provide supporting schedules and documentation for year-end and audit purposes
