Accounting Operations Specialist & Senior Bookkeeper

About the Role

Position Overview

The Turn Company is seeking a highly organized, proactive, and operationally driven Accounting Operations Specialist / Senior Bookkeeper to support the company’s day-to-day accounting operations within a fast-moving project-based business environment.

This role is responsible for helping manage and coordinate core accounting and financial workflows across a variety of operational projects, including:

• Seasonal resident turnover operations,
• Contracted field and facility services,
• Capital improvement and installation projects, and
• Other large-scale operational initiatives executed across multiple markets nationwide. The position plays a key role in maintaining financial organization, operational visibility, billing coordination, reconciliations, vendor management, and accounting workflow discipline throughout the year, with a particularly important role during the company’s peak summer operational season.

This role works closely with leadership, operations, project management, subcontractors, vendors, and the company’s external CPA partners to help ensure financial operations remain organized, accurate, timely, and scalable as the business grows.
