Bookkeeper/Controller – Remote

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
