About the job
About EliseAI
At EliseAI, we're improving the industries that matter most: housing and healthcare. Everyone needs a place to live and access to quality healthcare, yet both are often harder to secure than they should be.
By integrating AI agents deeply into existing workflows, we make them more efficient, reduce costs, and improve the experience for everyone.
- Housing: We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place.
- Healthcare: We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and we help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork.
With EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $350 million https://eliseai.com/blog/intelligence-is-getting-cheaper-life-should-too funding round at a $4 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate this mission.
The Future Platforms Team - Executing on EliseAI’s Future Products
The Future Platforms team is responsible for executing on the next generation of AI products and business lines. This team will blend go-to-market, product, operations, and strategy with a mandate to push the frontier of AI and own everything required to take them from idea to market leadership.
Our goal is to take Elise from agentic AI to truly end-to-end autonomous operations, fundamentally transforming how housing operators run their businesses and how residents experience their homes.
About The Role
We are looking for a Property Accountant to ensure accounting integrity across features that touch our clients’ resident ledgers and accounting workflows. You will be the in-house authority on multifamily accounting, helping teams deliver products that interact seamlessly with our client accounting teams and systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Advise on core scenarios - Guide treatment of rent, concessions, deposits/refunds, subsidies/HAP, delinquencies, utilities, move-in/out, and month-end close
- Translate workflows into requirements - Turn real-world accounting cases into clear requirements and acceptance tests; pressure-test features before release
- Review calculations and language - Validate prorations, allocations, adjustments, and charge/credit logic for accuracy and explainability
- Lead testing and validation - Develop representative test cases, run UAT with client accountants, and confirm outputs reconcile to expectations
- Define standards and terminology - Establish consistent event lifecycles, terms, and concise reference guides for controllers and onsite teams
- Capture best practices - Distill patterns and edge cases from enterprise customers into durable standards and playbooks
Move at rocket speed, build something massive.
We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff.
We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.
Requirements
- 2-4 years in multifamily property accounting or controllership at a PMC/owner-operator/REIT (ideally multifamily)
- Deep knowledge across GL & sub-ledgers, resident ledgers, deposits, and close; strong US GAAP grounding

- Crisp stakeholder communications, including writing & presentations
- Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a week
Preferred
- Experience working in a software / SaaS environment
- Familiarity with leading multifamily systems and data handoffs
- Familiarity with AI and/or automation as they relate to accounting workflows
Why Join
Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn https://www.eliseai.com/blog/eliseai-raises-250m-series-e!) startup that’s scaling so fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.
Benefits

- Equity in the company
- Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
