Offshore Staff Accountant

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Offshore Staff Accountant to join our growing consulting team. In this role, you will provide high-quality accounting services to a diverse portfolio of clients across multiple industries. The ideal candidate brings deep technical accounting expertise, a sharp eye for detail, and the ability to bring order to complex or disorganized financial records. You will play a key role in helping clients transition to accrual-based accounting, complete full balance sheet reconciliations, and produce reliable, audit-ready financials.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle accounting for multiple clients across various industries, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with GAAP.

• Perform cash-to-accrual conversions, including identifying and recording necessary adjusting journal entries for accounts receivable, accounts payable, prepaid expenses, accrued liabilities, deferred revenue, and depreciation.

• Execute full balance sheet reconciliations on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, including cash, AR, AP, fixed assets, intercompany accounts, payroll liabilities, and equity.

• Perform cleanup engagements on messy or incomplete books — reviewing historical transactions, correcting miscoded entries, reconciling prior-period imbalances, and bringing financials to a reportable state.

• Prepare accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, including the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.

• Record and review journal entries, accruals, deferrals, and recurring entries with appropriate supporting documentation.

• Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable processes, including bill entry, vendor reconciliations, invoicing, and collections support.

• Reconcile bank, credit card, loan, and merchant accounts; identify and resolve discrepancies.

• Maintain the general ledger and chart of accounts; recommend improvements to streamline reporting and client operations.

• Collaborate with onshore team members and clients to gather information, clarify transactions, and provide timely responses to inquiries.

• Document accounting procedures, workflows, and client-specific processes to support consistency and knowledge transfer.

• Support year-end close, audit preparation, and tax-ready financial packages.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

• 3+ years of professional accounting experience, with a strong preference for candidates from a consulting, outsourced accounting, or multi-client environment.

• Demonstrated experience servicing clients across multiple industries (e.g., professional services, e-commerce, construction, real estate, healthcare, manufacturing, or hospitality).

• Strong working knowledge of accrual-basis accounting and U.S. GAAP.

• Hands-on experience with cash-to-accrual conversions, including the judgment to identify required adjustments without extensive supervision.

• Proven ability to perform full balance sheet reconciliations independently and resolve complex variances.

• Significant experience with financial cleanup and catch-up work — comfortable diagnosing issues in disorganized ledgers and restoring them to a clean, reportable state.

• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online (required); experience with QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, NetSuite, or Sage is a plus.

• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, and reconciliation workpapers).

• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills; ability to interact professionally with U.S.-based clients and team members.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple clients, deadlines, and priorities concurrently.

• Reliable high-speed internet connection and a professional remote work environment with the ability to overlap with U.S. business hours as required.

• 2+ Years of client facing roles

Preferred Qualifications

• CPA, ACCA, CA, CMA, or equivalent professional certification (or actively pursuing).

• Experience working with U.S.-based clients in an offshore or remote capacity.

• Experience preparing client-ready management reports and KPI dashboards.

• Exposure to sales tax, payroll processing, or 1099 compliance.

Key Competencies

• Analytical mindset — able to investigate discrepancies, ask the right questions, and arrive at well-supported conclusions.

• Attention to detail — committed to accuracy and producing reconciliations that tie out to the penny.

• Self-motivated and accountable — works effectively with minimal supervision in a remote environment.

• Adaptable — comfortable switching context between clients, industries, and accounting systems.

• Client-service oriented — professional, responsive, and discreet when handling sensitive financial information.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation aligned with experience and certifications.

• Fully remote work with a collaborative, supportive team.

• Exposure to a wide variety of industries, business models, and accounting challenges.

• Professional development support, including certification and continuing education assistance.

• Long-term growth path within a stable, client-focused consulting practice.
