About EliseAI

At EliseAI, we're improving the industries that matter most: housing and healthcare. Everyone needs a place to live and access to quality healthcare, yet both are often harder to secure than they should be.
By integrating AI agents deeply into existing workflows, we make them more efficient, reduce costs, and improve the experience for everyone.

  • Housing: We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place.

  • Healthcare: We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and we help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork.

With EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $250 million Series E round led by Andreessen Horowitz to accelerate this mission.

The Future Platforms Team - Executing on EliseAI’s Future Products

The Future Platforms team is responsible for executing on the next generation of AI products and business lines. This team will blend go-to-market, product, operations, and strategy with a mandate to push the frontier of AI and own everything required to take them from idea to market leadership.

 

Our goal is to take Elise from agentic AI to truly end-to-end autonomous operations, fundamentally transforming how housing operators run their businesses and how residents experience their homes.

About The Role

We are looking for a Property Accountant to ensure accounting integrity across features that touch our clients’ resident ledgers and accounting workflows. You will be the in-house authority on multifamily accounting, helping teams deliver products that interact seamlessly with our client accounting teams and systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Advise on core scenarios - Guide treatment of rent, concessions, deposits/refunds, subsidies/HAP, delinquencies, utilities, move-in/out, and month-end close

  • Translate workflows into requirements - Turn real-world accounting cases into clear requirements and acceptance tests; pressure-test features before release

  • Review calculations and language - Validate prorations, allocations, adjustments, and charge/credit logic for accuracy and explainability

  • Lead testing and validation - Develop representative test cases, run UAT with client accountants, and confirm outputs reconcile to expectations

  • Define standards and terminology - Establish consistent event lifecycles, terms, and concise reference guides for controllers and onsite teams

  • Capture best practices - Distill patterns and edge cases from enterprise customers into durable standards and playbooks

Move at rocket speed, build something massive.

We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff.

We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in multifamily property accounting or controllership at a PMC/owner-operator/REIT (ideally multifamily)

  • Deep knowledge across GL & sub-ledgers, resident ledgers, deposits, and close; strong US GAAP grounding

  • Comfortable communicating with client accounting/operations/leasing teams

  • Crisp stakeholder communications, including writing & presentations

  • Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a week

Preferred

  • Experience working in a software / SaaS environment

  • Familiarity with leading multifamily systems and data handoffs

  • Familiarity with AI and/or automation as they relate to accounting workflows

Why Join

Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn!) startup that’s scaling so fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.

Benefits

In addition to the growth and impact you’ll have at EliseAI, we offer competitive salaries along with the following benefits:

  • Equity in the company

  • Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%

  • Fully paid parental leave

  • Commuter benefits

  • 401k benefits

  • Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters

  • A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and all meals covered in the office

  • Unlimited vacation and paid holidays

  • We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful!

Job Compensation Range

The salary range for this role is $100,000 - $180,000. EliseAI offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits & perks package. Exact compensation is determined based on a number of factors including experience, skill level, location and qualifications which are assessed during the interview process. Additional details about total compensation and benefits will be provided by our Recruiting Team during the hiring process.

What We Do

EliseAI builds vertical AI agents for housing and healthcare — sectors that together make up nearly 40% of household spending. These agents automate high-volume workflows like leasing, maintenance, renewals, and patient intake, helping organizations cut costs, improve efficiency, and deliver better experiences. How does it work? EliseAI integrates directly into operational workflows: Housing: Manages leasing, maintenance, renewals, billing, and resident communication. Healthcare: Handles intake, scheduling, call-center operations, and patient follow-up. Unlike traditional chatbots that only answer questions, EliseAI agents complete full workflows end-to-end — from scheduling and payments to work orders and record updates. We’re building a future of fully autonomous buildings and healthcare systems, similar to autonomous cars. Our technology takes on the repetitive, manual tasks that slow teams down, allowing them to monitor, decide, and act through AI. This reduces operational overhead while empowering people to focus on higher-value work. Right now, we're in the process of expanding our offerings from the multifamily industry to encompass more industries, including healthcare. We're seeking founder-minded candidates to join our fast-paced environment and tight-knit team committed to making a positive impact. Discover opportunities: https://www.eliseai.com/careers

Why Work With Us

We think big and build tech to create a positive impact on the world. You will have the chance to join a fast-paced environment and tight-knit team committed to making a positive impact with lots of opportunity to have a huge influence and build new products!
