AI Summary

Manage day-to-day accounting operations including AR/AP, payroll coordination, and monthly close activities. Prepare financial reports and cash flow updates for leadership while improving internal controls and accounting processes.

About the role

We’re hiring an Accountant to handle a wide range of finance-related responsibilities across the business.

This role goes beyond basic bookkeeping. You’ll own day-to-day accounting operations, ensure financial accuracy, support leadership with clear reporting, and help keep the business financially organized, compliant, and scalable as we grow.

You’ll work closely with clients, staff, leadership and operations, touching everything from reconciliations and reporting to AR/AP, payroll coordination, process improvements and general inquiries. If numbers don’t tie out, you don’t ignore it; you dig in and resolve it.

This is a trust-heavy role. We’re looking for someone who takes responsibility seriously and cares deeply about getting things right.


What you'll do

  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date financial records across all accounts
  • Handle monthly close activities, reconciliations, and variance checks
  • Manage AR, AP, invoicing, collections tracking, and vendor payments
  • Support payroll processing and ensure accurate allocation of expenses
  • Prepare monthly financial reports, cash flow updates, and summaries for leadership
  • Review transactions for accuracy, consistency, and proper categorization
  • Maintain clean books in Xero/QuickBooks (or similar accounting systems)
  • Identify discrepancies, flag issues early, and resolve them proactively
  • Improve accounting processes, documentation, and internal controls over time
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and ad-hoc finance requests as needed

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of accounting 
  • Strong working knowledge of Xero/QuickBooks or similar accounting platforms
  • Experience with reconciliations, AR/AP, and monthly close processes
  • Proficiency in Excel
  • High attention to detail and strong judgment
  • Clear written and verbal English communication skills
  • Comfortable working remotely in a fast-paced environment
  • Experience supporting growing or founder-led companies is a plus
  • Strong Client and Staff Relationship Management 
  • Experience in Financial Modeling is not a requirement but a plus


You'll thrive here if you....

  • Are detail-oriented and don’t let errors slide
  • Take ownership of the numbers, not just the tasks
  • Enjoy bringing order and clarity to fast-moving environments
  • Communicate clearly when something looks off or needs attention
  • Can juggle multiple finance responsibilities without dropping details
  • Are proactive, organized, and comfortable working independently
  • Care about accuracy, integrity, and accountability
  • Enjoy internal and external communication
  • Think in systems and look for ways to improve how things are done


This role isn't for you if you...

  • You prefer narrow, repetitive tasks with strict step-by-step instructions
  • You avoid digging into discrepancies or unclear transactions
  • You struggle with deadlines, follow-through, or prioritization
  • You need constant direction to stay on track
  • You’re uncomfortable handling sensitive financial information
  • You prefer to stay behind the scenes
  • You believe “close enough” is acceptable in accounting


What success looks like in the first 90 days

  • You've demonstrated an ability to spot, track and correct inconsistencies
  • You've correctly calculated client balances after adjustments have been made in their accounts
  • You've built trust in a remote environment
  • You've demonstrated great communcation skills with both clients and internal teams
  • You've proven your skills with our systems and tools


What we offer

  • Professional development and training programs
  • Education support for high performers
  • A collaborative, supportive team culture where people are genuinely invested in each other's success

  • Clear path to growth: we promote from within and reward people who perform
