US Senior Accountant (SaaS Startup)

Position Type: Full-time
Location: Philippines (Remote)
Schedule: Flexible EST

About the Company

Our client is an early-stage, fast-growing finance and accounting firm dedicated to supporting venture-backed startups ($10M–$100M ARR). They bridge the gap between lean automation and high-level human expertise, helping founders build scalable financial engines. They operate in a high-growth, high-autonomy environment where "building the playbook" is just as important as "following the playbook."

About the Role

We are looking for a ‘systems-thinking’ Senior Accountant who thrives at the intersection of core US GAAP accounting and modern financial technology. You won't just be "doing the books"; you will be architecting the financial infrastructure for some of the world’s most promising SaaS and AI startups.

The ideal candidate is someone who looks at a manual process and thinks, "How can I automate this?" and looks at a complex SaaS contract and thinks, "How does this impact our revenue recognition model?"

Responsibilities

• SaaS Financial Management: Own end-to-end accounting for multiple startup clients, with a heavy focus on subscription revenue recognition and SaaS metrics.

• Infrastructure Building: Design and implement scalable workflows, transitioning clients from "manual/messy" to "automated/efficient."

• Full-Cycle Accounting: Lead month-end close, financial reporting, and complex reconciliations with high precision.

• Tech Stack Optimization: Manage and integrate tools across the US finance stack, including QuickBooks Online, Stripe, and Ramp.

• Strategic Collaboration: Work asynchronously via Slack and Zoom, providing proactive insights to internal teams and clients.

• Process Documentation: Contribute to the firm’s operational playbooks to ensure consistent, high-quality delivery across all client entities.

Competencies and Qualifications

Must-Have

• 5–10+ years of professional accounting experience (with a track record of increasing responsibility).

• Deep understanding of US GAAP, specifically regarding revenue recognition for subscription-based models.

• Proven experience working with US-based companies and familiarity with US business environments.

• Advanced expertise in QuickBooks Online.

• Startup Mindset: Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to operate autonomously without a rigid manual.

• A natural inclination toward efficiency and "systems thinking."

• Demonstrated experience experimenting with or implementing AI tools (LLMs, AI-enabled accounting software, or automation agents) within financial workflows. Proficiency in prompt engineering and iterative AI interaction to maximize operational efficiency.

Nice-to-Have

• CPA Certification

• Experience with Ramp, Stripe, Xero, Sage, or AI-enabled accounting workflows.

• Experience handling 3+ distinct clients or entities simultaneously.

Key Qualities

• Inquisitive: You ask "why" and "how" until you fully understand a problem.

• Action-Oriented: You don't wait for a task list; you see a gap and fill it.

• Organized: You can juggle multiple clients and deadlines without dropping the ball.

• Compassionate & Inventive: You approach client challenges with empathy and a desire to find creative solutions.

What We Offer

• 100% Remote Work – Work from anywhere in the Philippines.

• Career Growth Opportunities – Gain hands-on experience, and continuous learning.

• Collaborative & Innovative Team – Work alongside skilled professionals who value excellence.
