About the Role
A U.S.-based business management and accounting firm serving clients in the entertainment industry is looking for two experienced accounting professionals to join their remote team. Both roles handle full-charge bookkeeping and day-to-day accounting operations end-to-end; one of the two positions carries an additional focus on U.S. tax preparation. This is a high-ownership role for someone who already understands accounting fundamentals and can operate independently in a fast-paced professional services environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Handle full-charge bookkeeping from transaction entry through financial reporting

- Assist with financial analysis and account review
- Monitor outstanding receivables and follow up on open account issues
- Support client bill payment and accounting-related business management activities
- Work primarily in QuickBooks and the firm's internal workflow systems, including TaxDome
- Follow established internal procedures while proactively communicating discrepancies, unusual transactions, or client issues to management
Requirements
Both Positions
- 3+ years of relevant accounting or full-charge bookkeeping experience preferred; demonstrated depth of competency matters more than years alone
- Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP
- Hands-on experience with: bank reconciliations, AP, AR, payroll, and financial statement preparation
- Strong QuickBooks proficiency (daily operational use)
- Ability to work independently with limited supervision
- High attention to detail and accuracy
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Comfortable managing multiple client accounts in a fast-paced environment
- Strong written and verbal English communication; proactive about flagging issues
- Experience with U.S.-based companies or accounting firms is a strong plus
- TaxDome experience is a plus
- CPA designation is not required
Position 2 — Additional Requirements (Tax Preparation Focus)
- Hands-on experience preparing U.S. tax returns
- Working knowledge of U.S. taxation and basic IRS requirements
- Experience supporting a U.S. CPA, tax practice, or accounting firm strongly preferred
- Enrolled Agent (EA) designation is a plus but not required
- Must be prepared to deepen tax knowledge under the firm's direct guidance
Ideal Candidate
You already understand accounting fundamentals and don't need to be trained on the basics — you can independently handle a bank reconciliation, manage AP/AR, and produce clean financial statements without step-by-step guidance. You're sharp, self-directed, and you flag problems before they escalate rather than waiting to be asked. You take real ownership of accuracy in your work and are comfortable serving multiple clients in a fast-moving environment. For Position 2, you bring practical exposure to U.S. tax return preparation and are ready to build on that foundation under the firm's coaching.
