Iβd ask in the interview how many units youβll own and whether CAM and security deposit reconciliations are on your plate; when I had about 1,[redacted] on Yardi, those two doubled my month-end. If you take it, a tight 5-day close (daily bank recs, AP cutoff by day 3, CAM true-ups by day 5) keeps the workload manageable.
At $55β65k on-site in Columbia, Iβd ask how many properties per accountant and whether you own bank recs plus CAM trueβups; when I had 10 props (about 1,[redacted]) on Yardi, a 5βday close without AP support was ugh. Also confirm benefits kick in after 60 days and how the Controller reviews JEs β daily batch reviews saved me from painful monthβend reclasses, @brian_mil62.
