Senior Accountant

This is a remote position.

Role Overview

We are looking for a high-ownership finance professional to manage end-to-end accounting across multiple global entities (US, India, and others) in a fast-paced, startup environment.

This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role where you will initially operate in a lean setup (no junior support) and progressively build automation-driven accounting systems to scale operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure accuracy across AR/AP, payroll, revenue, and expense tracking
  

• Maintain clean and structured books across entities
  

2. Global Accounting & Compliance

• Handle accounting for US and international entities (India, Canada, etc.)
  

• Work closely with external accountants/CPAs for Payroll taxes, compliance, and reporting
  

• Support and respond to tax notices, audits, and regulatory queries
  

• Ensure compliance with US GAAP and local regulations
  

3. Multi-Entity Consolidation

• Manage financial consolidation across multiple entities
  

• Handle:
  

  • Intercompany transactions
    

  • Currency conversions
    

  • Cross-entity reconciliations
    

• Prepare consolidated financial statements for internal reporting
  

4. Automation & Process Building (Core Focus)

• Identify manual processes and build automation workflows
  

• Implement improvements using tools like QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Excel, or integrations
  

• Drive initiatives such as:
  

  • Automated MIS reporting
    

  • Invoice generation workflows
    

  • Bank and system integrations
    

• Work towards a highly efficient, low-manual accounting function
  

5. Financial Reporting & MIS

• Prepare monthly MIS, variance analysis (Actual vs Budget)
  

• Work with leadership to provide insights into:
  

  • Cost control
    

  • Revenue trends
    

  • Cash flow
    

• Ensure clean, structured data for decision-making
  

6. Business Partnering & Controls

• Collaborate with internal teams (sales, operations, tech) for financial inputs
  

• Enforce budget discipline and spending controls
  

• Build processes to minimize leakages, errors, or misuse
  

Must-Have Requirements

• Strong experience in end-to-end accounting (not siloed roles)
  

• Proven exposure to US accounting (sales tax, filings, compliance)
  

• Experience handling multi-entity / global accounting
  

• Hands-on experience with QuickBooks (mandatory)
  

• Demonstrated work in automation / process improvements
  

• Comfortable working in a lean, high-ownership environment without junior support
  

Good to Have

• Experience in startup or high-growth environments
  

• Exposure to Zoho Books or similar tools
  

• Experience with due diligence, or audits
  

• Understanding of transfer pricing and cross-border structures
  

What We’re Looking For (Mindset Fit)

• Operator mindset: willing to execute, not just manage
  

• Strong ownership and accountability
  

• Problem-solver who can work with ambiguity
  

• Systems thinker who can build scalable processes
  

• Comfortable working in night shift (overlap with US hours)
  

What This Role Is NOT

• Not a supervisory/manager-only role
  

• Not limited to AP/AR/audit/tax specialization
  

• Not suited for candidates who require large teams to operate
