Remote Rent Collection Bookkeeper

I manage a portfolio of rental units and I need a dependable virtual bookkeeper to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Your main focus will be three things:

• Checking rent payments – each weekday you will open our shared Excel sheet, mark who has paid, flag late accounts, and update me in Slack.
• Communicating with tenants – you’ll send polite reminders, confirmations, and follow-ups. All messages must read as fluent, friendly English.
• Generating financial reports – at month-end you’ll turn the raw Excel data into a concise income/expense summary and occupancy snapshot for my review.

We currently track tenant details in Excel. ChatGPT is often used to conduct 'rent payment audits', so being open to that workflow is important. If you also know QuickBooks or Xero that’s a bonus, but not required.

Reliability is non-negotiable: I need updates on schedule and zero ghosting. No previous freelancing history is required—the quality of your communication and attention to detail will matter most. If you can commit to weekly check-ins (they take roughly 30 minutes) and a slightly longer block at month-end, let’s talk about getting you started this week.

English-speaking skills and availability during Canadian (EST) afternoons/evenings is required.
