AI Summary

Own day-to-day bookkeeping including AP/AR and general ledger maintenance to ensure accurate financial records. Lead the month-end close process and prepare monthly financial reports such as P&L and balance sheets.

Company Overview

Our client is a finance and advisory firm that supports founders, CEOs, and CFOs with outsourced accounting, tax, and financial operations.

They work with businesses and individuals across industries — including real estate, SaaS, and investment firms — helping them manage bookkeeping, tax compliance, and financial reporting without building a full in-house team.

Because the work directly impacts tax compliance, financial accuracy, and client outcomes, precision and reliability are critical. Mistakes here don’t just create internal issues — they can affect filings, liabilities, and client trust.


Your Role

Our client is hiring a Bookkeeper / Controller to own day-to-day bookkeeping and drive a clean, consistent month-end close.

This is an execution-focused role. You’ll be responsible for maintaining accurate books, reconciling accounts, preparing close deliverables, and producing management reporting with a high level of accuracy.

This is not a purely strategic finance role — the focus is on doing the work well, consistently, and on time, while improving the processes that make month-end predictable.

Strong communication is essential. You’ll be working in a remote team supporting US-based stakeholders, so clarity and responsiveness matter.


You’ll:

  • Own day-to-day bookkeeping (AP/AR, expense categorization, journal entries, and general ledger maintenance)

  • Reconcile bank and credit card accounts and resolve discrepancies quickly

  • Maintain clean supporting documentation so records are audit-ready

  • Lead or support month-end close (checklists, accruals, reviews, and close package delivery)

  • Prepare monthly reporting (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) and provide clear variance notes

  • Track deadlines and maintain a consistent operating rhythm (weekly processing + month-end close)

  • Improve processes (templates, SOPs, controls) to reduce errors and speed up close

  • Communicate clearly with internal teams on progress, blockers, and updates


You Bring:

  • 3–7+ years of experience in bookkeeping/accounting (controller-level ownership preferred)

  • Strong experience with reconciliations, month-end close, and financial reporting

  • High attention to detail and strong follow-through

  • Ability to follow structured processes and meet deadlines

  • Good written and spoken English (critical for this role)

  • Comfort working in a remote, distributed team


Bonus Points:

  • Experience supporting multi-entity books or services businesses

  • Experience in finance ops for US client-facing accounting/advisory firms

  • Familiarity with basic tax workflows and supporting documentation

  • Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills (reporting, reconciliations, clean workpapers)

  • Experience improving close processes, documentation, or internal controls


What’s Offered:

  • Fully remote contractor role

  • Work aligned with U.S. business hours (overlap required)

  • Competitive USD compensation (based on experience)

  • 20 days PTO + U.S. holidays

  • High exposure to US tax work and real-world client scenarios

  • Opportunity to grow within a fast-moving finance team

🔴 Important Note
