We're a nonprofit based in Baltimore, MD, and our organization owns a portfolio of rental properties, some of which are larger multi-unit structures, and others are individual houses and other scattered sites. Our finance team and our property managers use a system called RealPage, which we use to manage the organization's financials as well as to record individual tenant rent payments. Tenant ledgers have not always been well maintained over time, so we'd like to work with a volunteer who can help us address this issue. Specifically, we're looking for a volunteer who will help reconcile intercompany 'due to/due from' accounts and create a set of standardized monthly schedules to streamline our closing process. Clean, reconciled financials are essential for St. Ambrose’s stewardship of our rental portfolio, ensuring we can continue to provide and expand quality affordable housing for Baltimore residents.

During this project, the volunteer will:
- Reconcile intercompany and 'investment in' accounts across our entities.
- Clean up key balance sheet accounts to ensure accuracy.
- Create reusable monthly schedules/templates to support our ongoing financial reporting.

While not required, volunteers with experience working with organizations in the property management/real estate industries are highly desirable.

Clear, reconciled financials will strengthen St. Ambrose’s stewardship of its rental property portfolio, improve tracking across entities, and support operational decisions that maintain and expand quality affordable homes for low- and moderate-income Baltimore residents. Volunteer contributions will directly improve financial reliability and program delivery.

Volunteers will collaborate with our finance and property management staff to access the finance database, review account listings, and confirm assumptions. Details about files, access, and timelines will be provided during volunteer interviews so findings can be incorporated into our monthly close process. Please note that because this project will require access to sensitive financial data and systems, we will ask the selected volunteer to consent to a background check prior to the start of the project, which we will perform at no cost to the volunteer.
