Senior Accountant [100% Remote]

Job description

Salary: USD 1,300 to USD 2,000 per month, based on location and experience

Hours: Full overlap with EST, 9am to 5pm

Location: Remote, worldwide

Salary is shown in USD for reference. Payment is made in Canadian dollars (CAD), so your USD equivalent will vary with the exchange rate.

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

Process

- Apply via Typeform. Short questions and a brief audio answer. No cover letter.

- Intro call with the People Team, 30 minutes

- Practical assessment, reviewed by our technical team

- Final interview with accounting leadership

- Offer
