Senior Bookkeeper

Senior Bookkeeper (Remote, International)

Company: Freedom Finance

Type: Full-time

Location: Remote (outside the U.S.)

About Us

Freedom Finance provides fractional CFO and financial operations support to growing companies. We help founders and operators understand their numbers, make better decisions and stay ahead of cash flow and operational risks.

Our model pairs Controllers, who lead client relationships and financial strategy, with strong operational support underneath. This role is a key part of that system.

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Bookkeeper to support 8 to 12 client accounts across our portfolio. You will work closely with Controllers who lead client-facing work such as advisory, financial strategy, and narrative reporting.

Your job is to ensure the financial data is clean, accurate, and up to date so the Controller can confidently guide the client.

This is not a passive data entry role. You will be expected to think, flag issues and maintain a high standard of accuracy across multiple companies.

What You’ll Do

Core Bookkeeping Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date books across multiple client accounts
• Categorize transactions, reconcile bank and credit card accounts
• Assist with monthly close processes
• Ensure financial data is clean and audit-ready

Accounts Payable Management

• Own day-to-day and weekly accounts payable activities across multiple client accounts
• Manage invoice intake, coding, approval workflows and payment preparation
• Maintain accurate vendor records and ensure bills are entered and paid according to established schedules
• Follow strong AP controls and best practices, including proper documentation, approval requirements and segregation of duties
• Monitor outstanding bills, upcoming payment obligations and aging to help ensure payments are made accurately and on time
• Identify duplicate invoices, unusual charges, missing approvals and other potential AP issues before payments are processed
• Communicate with Controllers, client contacts and vendors as needed to resolve AP questions and discrepancies
• Help establish, document and improve AP processes and workflows for clients when needed

Strong accounts payable experience is required. Candidates should understand not only how to enter and pay bills, but how a well-controlled AP process should operate from invoice receipt through approval, payment and reconciliation.

Support for Controllers

• Prepare reports and supporting schedules for monthly reporting
• Identify inconsistencies, missing data, or unusual activity
• Flag issues proactively before they become problems
• Help maintain documentation and knowledge transfer materials per client
• Occasionally join client calls alongside Controllers to provide support, context, or clarification on bookkeeping and financial data

Operational Discipline

• Keep books current on a consistent cadence (no backlog buildup)
• Follow standardized processes across accounts while adapting to nuances
• Communicate clearly and promptly with Controllers

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 3+ years of bookkeeping experience across multiple clients or entities
• Strong experience with QuickBooks Online
• Your primary experience is with US companies
• High attention to detail and accuracy
• Ability to manage multiple accounts at once without things slipping
• Strong communication skills in English (written and spoken)
• Reliable, high-speed internet and consistent video availability during work hours

Important Traits

• Proactive mindset. You don’t wait to be told something is wrong
• Organized and process-driven
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, remote environment
• Able to take ownership of your work without constant oversight

Nice to Have

• Client-facing experience
• Familiarity with tools like Stripe, Bill.com, or similar systems
• Experience supporting Controllers, CFOs, or finance teams

Compensation

• $1,500 per month
• Long-term opportunity with consistent workload
• Work with a high-performing, professional team

How We Work

• Fully remote
• Slack-based communication
• Double (month-end close platform)
• Controllers lead client relationships; you support execution
• High standards, but low bureaucracy
