Senior eCommerce Accountant

Senior eCommerce Accountant (Remote, Philippines)

Firm Five | Full-time | PHP 140,000 to 160,000 per month

About Firm Five

Firm Five is a fractional accounting firm serving growing businesses across North America. Our team is made up of Canadian CPA controllers and a Philippines-based delivery team. We onboard only two clients a month and cap accounts per team member, so you get focused work on a manageable book of clients instead of being spread across dozens.

The Role

You’ll own the monthly close for a portfolio of 7 and 8-figure eCommerce brands, working directly with a Canadian controller. We have no junior tier. You run the books end to end and are trusted to do so.

Hours

9:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST (10:00 PM to 2:00 AM Manila time) for overlap with clients and controllers, plus 4 flexible hours on your own schedule. Are you a top candidate who requires special accommodations? Let us know, we may be able to find a setup that works for us both! You will be provided with a company owned laptop for this position.

What You’ll Do

• Close the books monthly for Shopify, Amazon, and Faire brands in QBO and Xero
• Reconcile Shopify Payments, PayPal, Stripe, Afterpay, Klarna, and Amazon settlements to bank deposits, breaking out gross sales, discounts, refunds, fees, and chargebacks
• Manage and troubleshoot connectors like A2X, Synder, and Link My Books
• Calculate and post COGS using inventory reports from Shopify, Cin7, Katana, or similar systems
• Reconcile inventory roll-forwards (beginning inventory, purchases, COGS, ending inventory) and track landed costs, including freight, duties, and 3PL fees
• Account for marketplace fees, FBA fees, storage fees, reimbursements, and reserves
• Reconcile gift cards, store credit, deferred revenue, and pre-orders
• Track and reconcile Shopify Capital, Amazon Lending, Clearco, and similar financing
• Prepare month-end packages including P&L, balance sheet, gross margin by channel, and contribution margin reporting
• Reconcile sales tax liability accounts collected by Shopify and Amazon (filings are handled by a third-party provider)
• Keep AP, payroll, and bank reconciliations clean and current

What You Bring

• 5+ years of accounting experience, with at least 2-3 years in eCommerce
• Several years working at a US, Australian, or Canadian cloud accounting firm (strongly preferred)
• Hands-on experience closing books for 7-figure+ Shopify brands
• Strong working knowledge of QBO and Xero
• Real experience with payment gateway and marketplace reconciliations, not just knowing what they are
• Solid understanding of COGS, inventory accounting, and accrual-basis reporting
• Clear written English and the confidence to raise issues before they become problems
• Degree in Accounting; CPA in the PH is required

Why Join

• Above-market pay
• A capped client load so you can do quality work
• Direct access to Canadian CPAs who will help you grow
• Fully remote with flexible hours

To Apply

Applicants must be based in the Philippines. Apply through LinkedIn and include a short note listing the eCommerce platforms, payment gateways, and connectors you’ve personally reconciled.

The application note at the end is a quick filter: people who’ve actually done the work will list specifics, and those who haven’t usually can’t.
