Accountant / Bookkeeper

Hours: Full overlap with EST, 9 am to 5 pm

Location: Remote, worldwide

The role

You carry several eCommerce client files at once, each with their own books and deadlines. Reconciliations, A/P, A/R, journal entries, month-end close, on every file. Our clients are 7- to 9-figure brands, and we work to a five-day close.

We are hiring for multi-client and full cycle. Multi-client means separate clients, not entities inside one company. Full cycle means you have carried a client from bank feed through to a closed month, not just A/P, A/R, or reconciliations.

Your work is reviewed by an accounting manager or senior accountant before it reaches the client, and you are expected to make that review short.

Must have

• 3+ years in accounting or bookkeeping, in a firm, BPO, or international multi-client environment
• A professional accounting qualification, or one in progress: ACCA, CPA, CA, CIMA, ACA, Contador Público, or your country's equivalent
• Multiple clients, not multiple entities. You have worked across separate client books with their own deadlines and stakeholders. Several subsidiaries of one company in one system is a different job and does not count here.
• Full cycle bookkeeping: reconciliations, A/P, A/R, journal entries, accruals and prepaids
• You have worked to a month-end close and met it. Fixed deadlines preferred. If yours has been rolling, be ready to talk about how you would adapt.
• QuickBooks Online or Xero experience. We will fund your QuickBooks Online certification during onboarding if you do not have it.
• You can follow written instructions precisely, including format, naming, and deadlines, without being reminded.
• Experience working with clients or employers outside your own country, ideally the US, Canada, the UK, or Australia
• English strong enough to be understood in writing and on a live call

Nice to have

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• eCommerce or consumer goods clients
• Inventory and COGS experience
• Sales tax and multi-jurisdiction compliance
• ClickUp or similar project management tools

What you will do

• Full-cycle bookkeeping across a portfolio of client files
• Support month-end close: reconciliations, schedules, supporting workpapers
• Record payroll entries, prepaids, and accruals accurately
• Prepare sales tax filings and remittances
• Check your own work before it goes to review. Catching your own errors is part of the job.
• Raise discrepancies clearly and early, with what you have already checked
• Action review notes fully and on time, including the ones that were not itemised for you

What the job actually looks like

• Month end is the most demanding period of the month and falls within the first ten business days. It eases considerably after that.
• You are expected to book around 39 hours a week to client work, tracked accurately.
• Your first two weeks are onboarding, not client work. How you handle that period tells us a lot.
• When you are stuck, you come with the problem and what you have already tried. You do not wait for a scheduled call to raise it.
• Some of our processes are mature, and others are still being built. Tell us when you hit a gap.

This role is not for you if

• You need each piece of work handed to you and itemised
• You wait for a scheduled call to raise something rather than flagging it the same day
• You assume an explanation for something that looks wrong instead of checking it
• You are looking for a calmer or less demanding environment. This is public accounting; it is busy by design, and month-end has real pressure in it.
• Working full EST hours would be a strain on your health or your life
• Your current role is AP only, AR only, or audit rather than full cycle accounting

Benefits

• Paid time off, Me Days, statutory holidays in your country, year-end company closure
• Certifications and internal training paid for
• Promotion from within based on performance and impact. Several of our leaders started in more junior roles.
• Fully remote, async first
