Kasa is building a global accommodations brand unlike any other. We took the best that hotels and short-term rentals had to offer and created a new class of hospitality that is affordable, trustworthy, and in convenient locations. Our guests enjoy seamless check-ins, spacious apartments and attractive amenities, helping them feel right at home. If anything comes up, our remote customer service is available 24/7, ensuring our hospitality is felt, not seen.
Behind the scenes, we leverage technology and innovative operations to build a globally scalable offering that delivers high quality stays. Our products and systems unlock unparalleled flexibility to operate anywhere from a few to a few hundred Kasas in any type of building, in just about any location. We currently have Kasas in over 17 states and are expanding into new markets all the time.
All of this is made possible by our team members, each of whom plays a critical role in fulfilling our vision and mission. We strive to foster a culture that values feedback, support, and collaboration throughout the organization. As a remote-first company, we work hard to bridge the gap of distance through initiatives that foster connection across Kasa. A few examples include engaging All-Hands meetings, department get-togethers (online and in person), and teamwide celebrations of important milestones. We encourage team members to stay at Kasa properties to experience our product firsthand and meet local team members when nearby. Guests are critical to Kasa’s mission. Accordingly, every new **Kasa team member gets trained in Guest Experience during their onboarding.
Our team is fortunate to have diverse backgrounds, personalities, and experiences united by a commitment to excellence and passion for our industry. If Kasa’s vision and culture speaks to you, and you’re up for the challenge of building a company on the cutting edge of real estate, we would love to have you on our team!

Day in the life of a Kasa Staff Accountant
As is normal in the accounting world, each day will be different depending on the time within the reporting cycle. The main focus for the first two months will be reconciling our daily revenue against daily settlements. This task is instrumental to enable Kasa to accurately report revenue to all of our partners.
Within four months, the scope will grow and you will be responsible for preparing allocation tables for indirect expenses and revenue items or to update our Fixed Asset ledger and calculate depreciation. During month-end, you can be asked to perform other related ad-hoc financial duties – you are ready to wear multiple hats.
When you are not in the thick of financial reporting, your focus will be to work on strategic initiatives. Examples include helping the team to complete the reconciliation of tax filings against collected tax and assisting our Financial Reporting manager with satisfying annual audit requirements.
Every other week you will participate in a company-wide meeting where we discuss the business. You get to interact with leaders from other departments and share ideas to help grow the business. Our culture is based on a remote work environment where we take pride in getting to know each other and what drives us.
