Position Type: Full-Time | Remote

Working Hours: U.S Business Hours

About the role

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience maintaining accurate financial records, processing accounts payable and receivable, reconciling accounts, and preparing basic financial reports.

This role requires someone who is methodical, proactive, and comfortable working independently while ensuring all financial information is accurate, organized, and up to date.

Responsibilities

  • Transaction Recording & Categorization: Record, categorize, and maintain daily financial transactions across company accounts, ensuring accurate and up-to-date bookkeeping records.
  • Accounts Payable & Receivable: Manage incoming and outgoing payments, process invoices, follow up on outstanding balances, and maintain accurate accounts payable and receivable records.
  • Bank & Account Reconciliation: Reconcile bank statements, credit card accounts, and other financial records regularly, identifying and resolving discrepancies.
  • Financial Reporting: Prepare basic financial reports, including profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow summaries to support financial planning and decision-making.
  • Financial Documentation: Maintain organized records of transactions, receipts, invoices, and supporting documentation in an accurate and audit-ready format.
  • Month-End & Year-End Close: Assist with closing activities by reviewing transactions, preparing necessary entries, and ensuring financial records are complete and accurate.
  • Internal Coordination: Respond to finance-related queries, communicate discrepancies, and coordinate with relevant team members to ensure smooth accounting operations.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in bookkeeping or a closely related accounting role.
  • Hands-on experience with accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero, or similar platforms.
  • Solid understanding of double-entry bookkeeping and basic accounting principles.
  • Practical experience managing accounts payable, accounts receivable, and bank reconciliations.
  • Ability to prepare basic financial statements and reports.
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy when handling financial records.
  • Good written and verbal English communication skills.
  • Ability to manage daily responsibilities independently and meet deadlines.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • Methodical & Consistent: You follow established processes, maintain accurate records, and ensure routine tasks are completed reliably.
  • Proactively Organized: You keep financial documentation structured and flag discrepancies before they become larger issues.
  • Independent & Accountable: You can manage your daily workload with minimal supervision and take ownership of assigned responsibilities.
  • Clear Communicator: You keep relevant stakeholders informed, ask questions when something is unclear, and communicate financial issues promptly.
  • Detail-Oriented: You understand the importance of accuracy and consistency when handling financial information.

What Success Looks Like

  • Daily financial transactions are recorded and categorized accurately.
  • Bank, credit card, and other account reconciliations are completed regularly.
  • Accounts payable and receivable records remain organized and up to date.
  • Financial reports are prepared accurately and delivered on time.
  • All receipts, invoices, and supporting documents are properly maintained.
  • Month-end and year-end bookkeeping activities are completed smoothly.

Nice to have

  • Experience supporting month-end and year-end closing processes.
  • Familiarity with financial documentation and audit preparation.
  • Experience working remotely with finance teams.
  • Ability to identify discrepancies and recommend improvements to bookkeeping processes.

Typical Day

Your day will focus on keeping the company's financial records accurate and up to date. You'll begin by reviewing and recording new transactions, followed by reconciliation work and invoice processing or follow-ups. You'll also prepare financial summaries as needed, respond to internal questions about account details, and ensure all supporting documentation is properly organized.

The role is largely independent and task-driven, with periodic check-ins and coordination with your manager or finance team.
