AR/AP Accounting Assistant (Philippines, Remote)

Who We Are

GrowthAssistant connects top marketing and operations talent with fast-growing companies that depend on great execution to scale. Founded in 2021 and named by Forbes as one of the best startups to work at, we're a permanently remote team that runs on integrity, proactive candor, and a bias toward action — and we prioritize the human experience in everything we do. We hire for skill and for heart, and we invest in our people for the long haul.

The Opportunity

We're hiring an AR/AP Accounting Assistant to join a fast-growing, research-led AI startup scaling its finance operations at pace — someone with hands-on AR/AP experience, strong accounting fundamentals, and the detail orientation to process invoices accurately, catch discrepancies before they become downstream problems, and support a finance team where priorities and processes evolve quickly. You'll own recurring daily and weekly finance tasks across accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash application, expense review, and vendor and customer portal setup; working primarily in NetSuite and Ramp, following defined processes, escalating exceptions proactively, and helping create meaningful operational leverage so the finance team can focus on higher-order work as the company scales.

What Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like

• AP Invoice Processing: Process daily AP invoices including vendor information review, invoice coding, approval routing, and documentation checks; support vendor onboarding by collecting and validating W-9s, W-8BENs, and banking details
• Expense Review & Monitoring: Review Ramp credit card transactions and expense submissions for completeness, proper coding, receipts, and required approvals; monitor recurring software subscriptions and card transactions to ensure expenses are categorized correctly; flag exceptions and unusual transactions to the appropriate team member
• AR Invoicing & Cash Application: Assist with AR invoicing in NetSuite by reviewing order forms, tax IDs, POs, and billing details before invoices are issued; help verify that customer invoices align with approved order forms and internal billing inputs; support cash application and payment matching to keep AR balances accurate and current
• Portal Setup & Maintenance: Support setup and maintenance of third-party customer and vendor portals such as Coupa, Oracle, Bill.com, or similar platforms; handle portal tasks with minimal handholding and maintain organized records across AP, AR, cash application, and expense approvals
• Process Documentation & Month-End Support: Assist with SOP documentation and updates as workflows evolve; partner closely with the finance team to support clean month-end processes and reduce manual follow-up over time

What You Bring

• AR/AP Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience in accounts payable, accounts receivable, bookkeeping, or accounting operations — including experience supporting US-based companies or larger international clients
• Systems Proficiency: Familiarity with ERP and accounting systems; NetSuite experience strongly preferred; experience with expense management or corporate card tools, with Ramp experience ideal
• Accounting Fundamentals: Strong working knowledge of AP workflows, invoice processing, vendor documentation, expense review, cash matching, AR invoicing, and customer billing — comfortable reviewing transaction details, coding, approvals, receipts, and supporting documentation
• Attention to Detail & Communication: Exceptional ability to catch discrepancies before they become downstream issues; clear communicator who escalates proactively when something looks off rather than waiting or guessing
• Organization & Reliability: Organized and independently able to manage recurring daily and weekly finance tasks; comfortable in a fast-moving environment where processes evolve; basic to intermediate Excel skills including filters, lookups, and pivot tables

Bonus Points if:

• You hold a degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field, or a CPA or accounting certification
• You have experience with customer or vendor portal setup such as Coupa, Oracle, or Bill.com
• You use AI tools to improve productivity, QA work, summarize information, or streamline repetitive workflows
• You have experience documenting finance processes or helping create SOPs
• You have exposure to indirect tax, sales tax, or broader accounting operations

Salary Range:$7 - $9 per hour (Final offer based on skills and experience matched to role requirements)
