Job description

Accounts Receivable (AR) Specialist - Real Estate

Salary : $55,000 - $65,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out :

  • Join a well-established real estate company with a strong track record and supportive leadership team
  • The AR Specialist will play a key role in tenant billing, rent collection, and maintaining accurate financial records
  • Collaborative, team-oriented environment where your ideas for process improvements are encouraged
  • Exposure to property-level and portfolio-level accounting in a stable and growing industry
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package, including health insurance, 401(k), and paid time off
  • Convenient Chicago location with access to public transit and local amenities

Key Responsibilities for the AR Specialist :

  • Generate and distribute monthly tenant rent invoices in accordance with lease agreements
  • Monitor tenant accounts, follow up on past-due balances, and manage collections activity
  • As an AR Specialist, you'll post and apply tenant payments (checks, ACH, wire) and reconcile AR accounts in systems such as Yardi, MRI, or AppFolio
  • Maintain accurate records of tenant balances, deposits, and charges
  • Collaborate with property management to resolve billing disputes and tenant inquiries
  • Assist with month-end and year-end close processes, preparing AR reports and supporting reconciliations
  • Generate AR aging reports and provide analysis to management
  • Support internal and external audit requests with documentation and explanations

    • Qualifications for the AR Specialist :

  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (preferred)
  • 2+ years of AR experience, ideally within real estate or property management
  • Familiarity with lease agreements and tenant billing practices
  • Proficiency in Yardi, MRI, AppFolio, or similar accounting software
  • Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Excellent communication skills and customer service mindset

    • This is an excellent opportunity for an Accounts Receivable Specialist with a real estate background to join a stable, growth-oriented company and contribute to a high-performing finance team.
