About the job

Locations: Philippines, Latin America and South Africa (100% Remote)

Employment Type: Full-time Independent Contractor (exclusive commitment)

Compensation: Competitive and commensurate with the candidate's market rate, experience, skills, and overall qualifications

  • Philippines - $1,400–$2,400 USD per month
  • Latin America - $1,600-$3,500 USD per month
  • South Africa - $1,400-$2,100 USD per month

Imagine owning a clean, predictable close — every month. Your checklists sharp, your reconciliations airtight, your reports telling a story leaders can act on. That’s this role.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You’ll support fast-growing U.S. companies and CPA firms as a US Accountant — driving both accuracy and clarity. Full-time IC with exclusivity. No other engagements after hire.

You see accounting as a system: inputs tidy, flows efficient, outputs decision-ready. You’ll own the close, stitch together AP/AR, payroll, and reconciliations, then ship reporting that blends variance insight with plain-English commentary. Along the way you’ll standardize checklists, codify playbooks, and turn “oops” into automation.

If you like turning chaos into order and insights into action — welcome.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

  • You’ve closed books for U.S. entities and can hit the ground running with minimal supervision
  • You balance precision with practicality — you know when to dive deep and when to move fast
  • You enjoy creating order (SOPs, templates, checklists) and love clean ledgers and tidy reconciliations
  • You’re tech-curious and look for ways to automate routine work and reduce errors
  • You build trust with clients through consistent delivery, transparency, and simple explanations

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

Financial Reporting

Your reports tell a story leaders can act on.

  • Prepare timely balance sheets, P&Ls, and the companyh-flow statements with variance analysis and plain-English insights
  • Build budgets, rolling forethe companyts, and the companyh-flow projections; monitor burn and runway for SMB clients
  • Join standing client calls, translate financials into plain English, and proactively flag risks and opportunities

Books & Reconciliations

Precision is your baseline, not your ceiling.

  • Manage the books end-to-end: AP/AR, month-end close, journal entries, accruals, and the general ledger
  • Reconcile bank, credit card, merchant, and loan accounts; investigate and clear discrepancies
  • Run payroll accurately: calculate wages, deductions, and withholdings; coordinate approvals; ensure on-time processing
  • Maintain organized, audit-ready files and strong documentation across periods and entities

Process & Systems

Build the playbooks. Be the one who turns chaos into clarity.

  • Standardize checklists, close calendars, and SOPs; suggest tech automations (rules, workflows, integrations)
  • Maintain data quality and controls — every file clean, every period documented, every record audit-ready

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline
  • 2+ years of U.S. accounting/bookkeeping experience (public practice or industry)
  • QuickBooks Online proficiency — required, with clean documented workflows
  • Strong English communication — written, spoken, and client-facing; service-oriented mindset
  • Experienced CPA or non-CPA — both are welcome here
  • Ownership mentality: organized, deadline-driven, managing multiple clients without sacrificing accuracy
  • Comfortable working U.S. business hours (night shift, PH-based)

Preferred (nice to have)

  • Xero, Bill.com [link for members] (or similar AP/AR automation)
  • G-Suite/Excel (pivot tables, lookups), and basic reporting/BI tools

HOW WE WORK

Quality: Close checklists, review notes, and documentation are part of every engagement

Security: Best practices for data privacy, MFA, and least-privilege access — always

Collaboration: Slack/Zoom standups, shared task boards, and predictable review cycles
