About this role

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
