Rehan J.

I have nearly 20 years of accounting and financial management experience, including over 12 years supporting U.S. businesses across real estate, self-storage, property management, distribution, and e-commerce. I currently manage accounting for 22 self-storage facilities and provide additional accounting support for another 17, covering 39 properties in total. My experience goes beyond routine bookkeeping. I help businesses maintain accurate financial records, resolve complex accounting issues, and deliver reliable financial reporting that supports better management decisions. **REAL ESTATE & SELF-STORAGE ACCOUNTING** I have extensive experience with multi-property portfolios, commercial rental properties, real estate investments, and residential fix-and-flip businesses. My responsibilities include: - Property-level P&L, Balance Sheet, and financial reporting - Bank, credit card, and loan reconciliations - AP/AR management and month-end close - Property acquisitions, dispositions, and closing adjustments - Intercompany accounting, management fees, and payroll bill-backs - Shared expense allocations, accruals, and prepaid expenses - Property-level cost tracking, renovations, and rehab expenses **MULTI-ENTITY ACCOUNTING & FINANCIAL REPORTING** I work with businesses operating across multiple entities and accounting systems, including QuickBooks Online and Epicor Eclipse. My experience includes historical accounting cleanup, GL and balance sheet reconciliations, inventory and cost-of-sales adjustments, intercompany reconciliations, and correcting discrepancies between accounting systems. I also prepare financial statements and supporting schedules for management, CPA reviews, lender reporting, and year-end tax preparation. My approach is to identify the root cause of accounting discrepancies rather than simply posting adjustments to make the numbers agree. **DISTRIBUTION & E-COMMERCE ACCOUNTING** I have worked with distribution, custom products, and e-commerce businesses, supporting inventory accounting, cost of goods sold, gross margin analysis, AP/AR, reconciliations, and financial reporting. I also review profitability, operating expenses, and working capital to help management understand business performance and identify areas requiring attention. **MANAGEMENT REPORTING & FINANCIAL ANALYSIS** Beyond maintaining the books, I help business owners understand what their financial statements are telling them. My work includes profitability analysis, cash flow reviews, budget comparisons, financial statement analysis, and management reporting. I prefer presenting financial information in a straightforward way, explaining what changed, why it matters, and what management should focus on. **ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE & SYSTEMS** QuickBooks Online | QuickBooks Desktop | AppFolio | Epicor Eclipse | Advanced Excel I have managed multiple QBO subscriptions through a single Accountant profile, as well as multiple properties within individual company files. **WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT** - Accurate financial records with proper supporting documentation - Timely monthly reconciliations and financial reporting - Clear communication regarding outstanding items and deadlines - Organized year-end financial packages for CPA review - Practical solutions to historical accounting discrepancies - Consistent accounting processes and reliable reporting My Upwork history reflects my preference for long-term client relationships. I believe in understanding each business, maintaining consistency in its accounting processes, and delivering financial information that management can rely on.
