What does a property accountant do?

As a property accountant, you work in the real estate industry to help companies or developers with budget analysis, audit reporting, portfolios, reconciliation, and more. Property accountants prepare, maintain, and review financial records, commercial property agreements, residential property agreements, and deal with some rentals. Your responsibilities and day-to-day duties often take you out of the office to meet with developers, investors, lawyers, and local politicians to ensure processes are going according to plan and that everyone is following the proper real estate codes and laws along the way. Some job duties are closely related to those of a CPA, but with added responsibility.
