Job description
Harmony Communities operates and manages its own portfolio of over 70 manufactured housing communities and over 10,000 residents throughout the West Coast. While we employ a large number of people, our home office is a close knit team giving us a small office vibe. We work hard but we enjoy what we are doing. This isn't the kind of office where you clock in and out. You are given the autonomy to manage your work flow within the constructs of our management guidelines and attempted best practices. We are seeking a high powered Accountant with great intelligence, a strong feel for accounts receivable/payable and an ability to problem solve a wide array of problems and issues as they arise.

Harmony Communities has been operating communities since 2004 and the portfolio has steadily grown over this time. There is an incredible amount of job stability. During the great recession we continued acquiring and hiring. Our goal is to add 10 new properties to the portfolio each year for the foreseeable future. If you have experience in property management, even better. You know what we are looking for. Surprise and dazzle us. Please email your resume and a short note about why you would be an exceptional fit for this position. The story we don't get to see from your resume is what will get us excited.
