About Howard Financial

Howard Financial is a tech-forward outsourced accounting and finance firm, founded in 2023. We keep the books, run the close and deliver financial clarity for US-based businesses across four verticals: Vacation Rental, Hospitality, Consumer & E-Commerce, and Development & Real Estate.

We are a fully remote, global team. We hire people who take ownership of their work and their clients, and we give them the tools and structure to do it well.

About the Role

We are looking for a Bookkeeper to join our accounting team and support the day-to-day bookkeeping of a portfolio of US clients. This is a junior position: you will work closely with Accountants and Senior Accountants who review your work and help you grow.

The ideal candidate has solid accounting fundamentals, hands-on QuickBooks experience and a high attention to detail. You will own accurate, timely books for your clients and be the first line of quality in our month-end close.

What You'll Do

• Record and categorize daily transactions accurately in QuickBooks Online.
• Reconcile bank, credit card and loan accounts on a monthly basis.
• Process and track accounts payable and accounts receivable.
• Prepare journal entries for review, including accruals and adjustments.
• Support the month-end close by preparing schedules and flagging discrepancies.
• Keep client files and supporting documentation organized and up to date.
• Prepare basic financial reports (P&L, balance sheet) for review by the Accounting team.
• Communicate with clients to request missing information or clarify transactions.
• Follow internal processes and checklists, and suggest improvements when you see them.

What You Bring

• 1–2 years of bookkeeping or junior accounting experience.
• Degree in Accounting or a related field (completed or in progress).
• Solid accounting fundamentals: double-entry, accruals, reconciliations and the basics of the month-end close.
• Hands-on experience with QuickBooks (Online preferred).
• Working knowledge of Excel or Google Sheets.
• Strong attention to detail and a habit of double-checking your work.
• Good written and spoken English to work with US clients and teammates.
• Ownership and organization: you manage your deadlines without being chased.

Nice to Have

• Experience in one or more of these industries: Real Estate, Consumer & E-Commerce, or Hospitality.
• Exposure to US clients or US accounting standards (US GAAP).
• Experience at an accounting firm or outsourced accounting service, handling more than one client at a time.
• Familiarity with tools such as Bill.com, Ramp, Gusto or similar.

Why Howard

• Fully remote: work from anywhere as part of a global team.
• Growth path: a clear track from Bookkeeper to Accountant and beyond, with review and mentoring from senior team members.
• Real exposure: work with US businesses across four industries from day one.
• Modern stack: a tech-forward firm that invests in tools and process so you can focus on quality work.
