Accountant [100% Remote]

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

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
