Accounting Manager

About the Team

The Financial Operations (FinOps) team at Nomad powers the core of our business: guaranteed owner payments. We manage property-level bookkeeping, owner disbursements, bank reconciliations, and collections across thousands of properties. As Nomad grows and our financial products evolve, this team sits at the intersection of operations, accounting, and customer experience. You'll work closely with customer success, engineering, product, and finance to keep money moving accurately and on time.

We're looking for an Accounting Manager to lead our property accounting operations and manage a small team of specialists. This is a player-coach role: you'll own critical accounting workflows yourself while also supporting, developing, and directing your team. You'll inherit a team of 3 across multiple states with diverse skill sets: from collections to bookkeeping to customer escalations.

This role reports to our FinOps Manager and will eventually work directly with our Head of Finance as the team matures. If you're energized by operational accounting, comfortable managing people, and want to build something at a company that's redefining residential real estate, this could be the role for you.

In the role, you'll:

• Lead the team: Manage 3 direct reports across bookkeeping, collections, and financial operations. Set priorities, remove blockers, and develop talent.

• Own property accounting operations:

  • Oversee owner payment workflows (guaranteed rent disbursements, earnings calculations)

  • Manage bank reconciliations and balance sheet controls

  • Ensure accuracy across multiple bank accounts and money movement

• Drive collections and delinquency: Bring structure and fresh energy to our most important and most neglected function. Own the process, manage escalations, and improve outcomes.

• Support and develop your team:

  • Be the go-to resource when bookkeeping gets gnarly; trace debits and credits, troubleshoot discrepancies

  • Coach team members on accounting fundamentals and operational excellence

• Partner cross-functionally: Work with Customer Success to define escalation paths, with Engineering/Product on system improvements, and with Finance on corporate accounting touchpoints.

• Get your hands dirty: This isn't a sit-back-and-delegate role. You'll run paydays, do balance sheet checks, and step in wherever needed.

• 4+ years of accounting or bookkeeping experience, with at least 1-2 years managing people

• Strong general ledger fluency; you can trace transactions, reconcile accounts, and explain what's happening in the books

• Comfortable managing multiple bank accounts and orchestrating money movement

• Experience with operational accounting (not just AP/AR clerk work). You've owned processes end-to-end

• People management skills: you've inherited or built a team, navigated different personalities, and held people accountable

• Detail-oriented but not paralyzed by ambiguity; startup environments require both

• Strong communicator who can translate accounting concepts for non-accountants

Nice to have:

• Property management or real estate tech background (AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, Rent Manager)

• Marketplace or fintech experience (money in, money out, fees, trust accounting)

• Collections or delinquency management experience

• Experience with QuickBooks, BILL, Stripe, or similar

• Familiarity with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) for productivity

This is a hybrid position: You'll need to come to our downtown Denver office 3 times a week (Wednesdays required for All Hands). We're surrounded by other tech companies, coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants.

Our Values: Nomads Build Community: We foster genuine relationships and act as dependable stewards of our community. One Percent Better Every Day: We are always learning, taking small, deliberate actions to continuously improve. Mission Before Ourselves: We're a championship team driven to make our customers' lives better. Act From Ownership: We roll up our sleeves, solve problems proactively, and take responsibility for our work. Dream Without Boundaries: We challenge the status quo and strive to achieve the extraordinary.
