What are Portfolio Accountants?

Their work supports portfolio managers and clients by providing timely and accurate financial statements, performance reports, and compliance documentation.

What Is a Portfolio Accountant?

A portfolio accountant is an accountant that’s responsible for making the appropriate calculations for account returns on their client’s property. In this role, you analyze and identify improvements in processes, maintain current systems, find solutions to any issues, and prepare regular reports for stakeholders or financial statements. Communication and analytical skills are vital, as you often need to work with other departments in a company using spreadsheets and other methods to communicate data.

An internship in finance is a great way to gain experience before truly entering the workforce.

What are some typical challenges faced by Portfolio Accountants when reconciling investment portfolios, and how can they be managed?

Portfolio Accountants often encounter challenges such as data discrepancies between internal records and custodian statements, frequent security transactions, and tight reporting deadlines. Managing these challenges requires strong attention to detail, effective use of portfolio accounting software, and regular communication with portfolio managers and custodians. Developing a systematic approach to reconciliation and staying updated on industry best practices can help ensure accuracy and efficiency in portfolio reporting.

  • Perform tenant ledger reconciliations as well as aged-receivable reconciliations comparing what was charged and what was received.
  • Collaborate with Property Managers in day-to-day payables administration.
  • Provide assistance to Accounting and Property Management by auditing year-over-year property level budgets and identify discrepancies.
  • Reconcile underwriting, leasing and property level budgets to ensure accuracy.
  • Assist with annual CAM reconciliations by providing a thorough analysis of reconciliations and lease agreements where needed.
  • Aid in further improving our process to identify property level operating expense.
  • As directed, provide the first pass at reviewing monthly reports by applying variance analysis and investigate discrepancies between actual and budgeted expenses.
  • As appropriate, reforecast the remaining calendar year budgets if trends suggest an update is necessary and make recommendations to Accounting and Property Management.
  • Ensure data accuracy and integrity by reviewing lease agreements and entering data into VTS and Yardi, our Leasing and Accounting Platforms.
  • Manage companies' A/P and A/R, purchasing, accounting, entering and reviewing journal entries, and proper coding and clerical/administrative functions as required.
  • Ensure proper audit trail and supporting documentation have been filed.
  • Develop and maintain prepaid expense schedules and collaborate with accounting team and various Property Managers to ensure costs are expensed accurately and in a timely fashion.
  • Develop Yardi Voyager expertise with day-to-day knowledge of systems analytics, inputs, tools, methods and processes necessary to successfully input and manage commercial real estate.
  • Generate and develop financial spreadsheets and reports in Microsoft Excel.
  • Conduct assigned research projects and prepared informal summaries for business development and management decision purposes as required.
  • Work closely with the Accounting team and Vice President of Finance on special assignments such as Work-In-Progress account maintenance, company credit card and expense report processing, and corporate financial statement maintenance.

What you bring:
  • Must possess meticulous attention to detail, strong organizational skills, an energetic work-ethic, and the ability to accurately manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
  • Must identify as a "teachable" employee and have a "can-do" attitude, professional correspondence etiquette, strong interpersonal skills and take "ownership"/pride in work deliverables.
  • Must be able to work in an extremely fast-paced environment while managing conflicting priorities and be able to self-manage and complete tasks with a certain degree of autonomy.
  • Strong customer service and interpersonal skills.
  • Strong Microsoft Excel skills.
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field required.
  • 3-5 years of accounting experience required; public accounting or real estate accounting experience preferred.
