Accountant (US GAAP)

The Role

We're looking for a sharp, reliable Accountant to join our growing Hospitality practice. In this role, you'll manage day-to-day accounting for a portfolio of hospitality clients — hotels, restaurants, and related businesses — operating under US GAAP standards. You'll be the person our clients count on to keep their books clean, their close on schedule, and their reporting accurate.

This is a high-ownership, client-facing role. You'll work independently, manage your own deadlines, and communicate directly with clients and internal stakeholders across time zones.

What You'll Do

• Own the full-cycle accounting for a portfolio of hospitality clients, including GL management, month-end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting
• Prepare and review financial statements in compliance with US GAAP
• Manage accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, and journal entries
• Coordinate directly with clients to gather information, clarify transactions, and communicate results
• Identify and flag discrepancies, process gaps, or areas for improvement proactively
• Adapt quickly as client needs evolve — no two clients are the same

What We're Looking For

Must-haves

• 3+ years of accounting experience, with demonstrated ownership of a full close cycle
• Solid, working knowledge of US GAAP — you've applied it consistently, not just studied it
• Experience working with US-based clients or in a US-facing accounting environment
• Comfortable managing multiple client accounts or projects simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication in English — you'll interact directly with clients
• Self-directed and organized — you manage your own workload without needing micromanagement
• Proven ability to perform in fast-paced, high-volume environments where priorities shift

Nice to have

• Direct experience in hospitality accounting — hotels, restaurants, resorts, F&B operations
• Familiarity with hospitality-specific concepts: RevPAR, ADR, departmental P&Ls, tip reporting
• Experience at a multi-client firm, outsourced accounting provider, or CPA firm
• Exposure to ERP or property management system implementations
• CPA license or equivalent accounting certification

Why Howard Financial

• 100% remote — work from anywhere in LATAM or Europe, on a schedule that works for you
• Real variety: you'll work across multiple client relationships and industry verticals, not the same ledger forever
• A team that moves fast and gives you room to grow — promotions here are earned, not scheduled
• Collaborative, low-ego culture: we share knowledge, ask questions, and support each other
• Direct exposure to US business practices and clients across four distinct industries
