Senior Property Accountant - Odevo

We are on a mission to become the leading force in residential property management services. The global residential property management industry is currently undergoing a digital transformation and Odevo is at the forefront of this transformation. Our mission is to radically simplify living for families and individuals by delivering highly attractive and efficient property management services to building owners and associations as well as to residents. Our core belief is that digital technology combined with great people will play a central role in delivering a step change in how boards and residents experience property management.

What we do matters to billions of people across the world. Residential real estate is the world’s largest asset class and buying a home is often the biggest investment a person or family will ever make. But the residential property management industry is lagging behind when it comes to customer focus and digitalization. That is why we formed Odevo.

Leading property management companies in the Nordics, UK, and US have already joined forces to form Odevo and over the last 4 years Odevo’ s revenues have grown 40-fold to become a leading international player. Our ambition is to continue to grow rapidly organically and by attracting additional companies to join us in both existing and new markets.

We deliver our property management services with custom developed software to simplify living and make life easier for property owners, association boards, residents and very importantly our own property management professionals. We make complex topics such as managing property finances and the daily maintenance of buildings easy, and we automate time-consuming everyday tasks so people can spend more time on things that they really enjoy.

We are a 7,000-employee company with a start-up mentality. We aspire to break new ground through innovation, and we actively cultivate a workplace where we can grow as individuals and have fun while achieving great things together.

To continue our ambitious growth journey, we are now looking for people who share our vision to join us on a journey that will continue to transform the property management industry on a global scale.
