The Role

They’re looking for an experienced Senior Accountant to maintain accurate financial records and support financial reporting across a portfolio of North American clients.

This role goes beyond transactional bookkeeping. You’ll be responsible for ensuring the accuracy and quality of financial records, reviewing the work of bookkeepers, supporting financial reporting and analysis, and gradually taking on more client-facing responsibilities.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working with multiple businesses simultaneously, has previous experience with U.S. or Canadian companies, and enjoys working in startup and small-business environments.

What You’ll Do

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date accounting records across multiple client accounts.
• Process accounts payable and receivables.
• Prepare and reconcile bank statements.
• Manage general ledger accounts.
• Assist with payroll processing.
• Assist with preparing financial reports and statements.
• Review financial information and KPIs to identify trends, discrepancies, or potential issues.
• Review and oversee the work of bookkeepers, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
• Represent the company in client meetings, gradually taking on more client-facing responsibilities as you become familiar with each account.
• Ensure compliance with applicable tax regulations.
• File and maintain financial documents.
• Assist with audits and tax preparations, including preparing accurate records and supporting documentation for external CPAs.
• Work with AI-enabled and automated accounting workflows, reviewing outputs and adapting to new processes and technologies.
• Assist with any ad hoc accounting duties as and when required.

Ideal Profile

• Degree or formal post-secondary education in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field.
• At least 2-4 years of hands-on accounting experience, with a strong understanding of accounting principles and the full accounting cycle.
• Previous experience working with U.S. and/or Canadian companies or clients.
• Hands-on professional experience with both QuickBooks Online and Xero.

• Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable taking ownership of responsibilities.
• Strong organization and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritize and meet deadlines.
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
• Comfortable using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or similar platforms as part of your regular workflow.
• Tech-savvy, adaptable, and interested in working with increasingly automated accounting processes.
• Advanced professional English, with confident verbal and written communication.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a remote team.
• High level of discretion when handling confidential financial information.

• Experience working with startups or small and mid-sized businesses.

Work Structure

This is a full-time commitment and is intended to be the candidate’s primary professional role.

Team members are expected to be available online between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Mountain Time for communication and collaboration, although there is flexibility for appointments, personal commitments, and occasional schedule adjustments.

Compensation is based on productive hours worked, rather than the full availability window. As you become fully onboarded and build your client portfolio, the expected workload is approximately 120 productive hours per month.

Daily time tracking is required, as some client work is billed hourly and accurate tracking is an important part of project and performance management.

Why Join

• Supportive, positive, and collaborative work environment.
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the company and its clients.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• Fully remote work environment with flexibility when needed.
• Health benefits available after six months.
• Work with a diverse portfolio of North American startups and businesses.
• Grow beyond transactional accounting into review, analysis, team oversight, and client-facing responsibilities.
