We appreciate your understanding and look forward to receiving applications from qualified PH‑based professionals.

We’re hiring a Senior Accountant who combines technical excellence with strong written communication and sound judgment. You’ll manage a portfolio of 15+ client accounts, lead month‑end close, and—crucially—own client inboxes, resolving ~80% of emails independently with clear, concise responses. This role suits someone who is detail‑driven, proactive, and comfortable saying “I don’t know yet—here’s how I’ll find out.”

What You’ll Do

• Client ownership: Manage day‑to‑day accounting for 15+ clients; maintain accuracy and GAAP compliance.
• Inbox management: Triage and respond to client emails; resolve ~80% autonomously and escalate the rest with context and recommendations.
• Full‑cycle accounting: AP/AR, payroll journal posting, journal entries, and clean GLs.
• Month‑end close: Reconciliations, accruals, AJEs, self‑review, variance explanations, and financial review.
• Financial reporting: Prepare/review monthly & quarterly financials (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) plus management reports.
• Revenue recognition & accruals: Apply GAAP principles; ensure timely, accurate entries.
• Process improvement: Identify gaps; standardize workflows, checklists, and documentation.
• Tools: Work primarily in QBO/Xero; familiarity with Canopy practice management is a plus.

Requirements

You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting/Finance (or related)
• 3–5+ years accounting experience (client‑facing CAS or public accounting preferred)
• Strong accrual accounting & GAAP; proven month‑end close ownership
• Excellent written English; concise, structured client emails
• Demonstrated self‑review practices (checklists, tie‑outs, variance analysis)
• Proficiency in QBO and/or Xero; Canopy familiarity is a plus
• High judgment, curiosity, and follow‑through; comfortable asking clarifying questions
• Ability to work independently across multiple client relationships

Work Style & Hours

• Remote‑first. Collaborate via modern tools (QBO/Xero, Sheets/Excel, Slack/Teams, Zoom, Canopy).
• Client coverage: 4‑hour overlap with U.S. Eastern time required

Preferred

CPA or equivalent

Experience with payroll posting, multi‑currency, intercompany, commission plans

3‑way match (inventory/purchasing) and loan accounting exposure
