• Experience making informed financial judgments in fast-paced, less structured settings.

Tech Stack Proficiency

• Essential: QuickBooks Online (QBO), Slack, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Zoom, Google Meet, Google Drive.
• Highly desirable: Rippling, Brex, Bill.com, ClickUp, Gusto, Ramp.
• Experience integrating external applications with QuickBooks Online.
• Awareness of AI use cases in accounting (a plus).

Soft Skills for Remote Success

• Full professional fluency in English (written & verbal), with the ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly to non‑finance professionals.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across digital channels, with a habit of providing clear context in asynchronous updates.
• Proactive, solutions‑oriented self‑starter with excellent time management, organization, and independent problem‑solving skills.
• High sense of ownership, openness to feedback, and adaptability to changing priorities in a remote startup environment.
• Integrity, curiosity, and a strong bias toward action.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary in USD, based on experience.
• Unlimited paid vacation days per year, plus all U.S. national holidays.
• Fully remote role — work from anywhere in the world with a professional home setup.
• A fast‑paced environment with opportunities to learn, grow, and make an impact.
• A supportive, collaborative culture through Veta Virtual and our client.
