Accountant [100% Remote]

Posted Updated
Discussion

Description

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

The role

You own full-cycle accounting for a portfolio of eCommerce client files. Reconciliations, A/P, A/R, journal entries, month-end and year-end close. You are responsible for the numbers being right and delivered on time.

Our clients are 7 to 9-figure eCommerce brands, usually in high growth. You work to a five-day close.

Must have

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field

  • 5+ years in accounting, in a firm or multi-client environment

  • Full cycle bookkeeping: reconciliations, A/P, A/R, journal entries, accruals and prepaids

  • Experience owning a month-end close, not just supporting one

  • Hands-on experience with cloud accounting software

  • English at B2 level or above, written and spoken

Nice to have

  • QuickBooks Online or Xero experience. We will fund your QuickBooks Online certification during onboarding if you do not have it.

  • eCommerce or consumer goods clients

  • A professional accounting qualification: ACCA, CPA, CA, CIMA, ACA, Contador Publico, or your country's equivalent. In progress counts.

  • Inventory and COGS experience

  • Sales tax and multi-jurisdiction compliance

  • ClickUp or similar project management tools

What you will do

  • Own full-cycle bookkeeping across a portfolio of client files

  • Run month-end and year-end close: schedules, balance sheet tie-outs, timely reporting

  • Record payroll entries, prepaids and accruals accurately

  • Manage sales tax filings, remittances and compliance across jurisdictions

  • Review your own work before it goes up. Self-review is part of the job.

  • Identify automation opportunities and suggest workflow improvements

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.

  • You own your files. Your manager reviews; they do not do it for you.

  • Some of our processes are mature, and others are still being built. When you hit a gap, we expect you to help close it.

This role is not for you if

  • You want work handed to you in pieces rather than owning a file end to end

  • You would rather not speak to clients

  • Working full EST hours would be a strain on your health or your life

  • You want a process that is already finished

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

  2. Intro call with the People Team, 30 minutes

  3. Practical assessment, reviewed by our technical team
