Staff Accountant (Remote)

Location: Remote (Latin America)

Schedule: Monday to Friday, overlap with US business hours

Type: Full-time · Independent Contractor

About the Company

Our client is a US accounting team that supports growing businesses and expects strong ownership over the month-end process. They need someone who can step in, work cleanly, and manage details without drama.

About the Role

You will handle core staff-accounting work across reconciliations, close support, reporting, and account analysis. QuickBooks knowledge is required. This role is for someone who understands the mechanics of a solid close, writes clearly, and does not need to be chased for follow-up.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and post journal entries with proper support and review discipline.
• Own reconciliations for bank, credit card, and balance sheet accounts.
• Support month-end close and help produce accurate internal financial reporting.
• Review transactions and account activity for errors, unusual movement, or missing documentation.
• Work inside QuickBooks daily and support related workflows across AP, AR, and close.
• Coordinate with teammates or clients to resolve accounting questions quickly and clearly.

Who You Are

• You have staff-accounting experience supporting US-based books or clients.
• You are genuinely comfortable in QuickBooks and do not need training on the basics.
• You understand reconciliations, accruals, close support, and financial statement preparation.
• You work carefully and can still hit deadlines during busy close periods.
• Your English is strong enough for client-facing written communication and internal coordination.

Bonus Points

• Experience in an accounting firm environment.
• Experience with Xero, Bill.com, or similar accounting tools.
• Exposure to multi-client or multi-entity accounting.

What Success Looks Like

First 90 Days:

• You fully understand the close calendar, the major balance sheet reconciliations, and where support tends to go missing.
• QuickBooks is current, reconciliations are being completed on schedule, and review notes are going down instead of up.
• The team trusts you with real ownership because your work is clean, well-supported, and turned in on time.

Ongoing:

• Month-end closes move with less friction because reconciliations, schedules, and open questions are surfaced early.
• Financial reporting inputs are dependable enough that senior reviewers are not rebuilding your work.
• The accounting team can move faster because the books are cleaner and QuickBooks is being maintained with discipline.
