Job description

Property Management & Bookkeeping Administrator at Assist World

We are a staffing agency recruiting on behalf of a growing family-owned property management and real estate business. Our client manages a portfolio of residential rental properties alongside a real estate business and a construction company, and they are looking for a highly organized Property Management & Bookkeeping Administrator to support the day-to-day operations across all three businesses.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys backend operations, bookkeeping, and coordinating multiple moving parts. You will play a key role in ensuring tenant communication, leasing administration, financial records, and operational workflows run smoothly.

  • Prepare documents and maintain digital filing systems
  • Assist with general administrative support across the property management, real estate, and construction businesses
  • Learn and maintain records within the company's property management software

Required qualifications

  • Previous experience in bookkeeping or accounting administration
  • Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks
  • Excellent organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail
  • Experience managing invoices, receipts, and financial records
  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities across several businesses
  • Comfortable learning new software and working independently in a remote environment

Preferred qualifications

  • Previous experience in property management or real estate administration
  • Experience using AppFolio or similar property management software
  • Familiarity with leasing administration and tenant communication
  • Basic payroll administration experience
  • Spanish language skills are an advantage but not essential

What We're Looking For

  • A highly organized, operations-focused professional who enjoys creating structure and keeping systems running efficiently
  • Someone with a strong bookkeeping mindset and excellent attention to financial accuracy
  • A proactive self-starter who takes ownership of their responsibilities
  • A dependable communicator who can confidently manage tenant enquiries and internal administration
  • Someone who enjoys learning new systems and continuously improving processes
  • An individual looking for a long-term opportunity with room to grow alongside an expanding family business

Growth Opportunity

This role will begin with a structured training period alongside the current administrator before transitioning into ownership of the role. As the business continues to grow, there is a clear opportunity for the successful candidate to move into a full-time position and take on increased responsibility across property management, operations, and business administration.
