• Book payroll journal entries and reconcile payroll reports to the general ledger

• Prepare monthly financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) with variance commentary for management and lenders
• Clean up and reconcile historical periods, and document accounting processes and SOPs as you go
• Support external accountants and lenders during reviews, audits, and due diligence

• Hire, train, and manage junior accountants as the team grows

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5 to 8 years of accounting experience, with at least 3 years working on US client books at an outsourced accounting, KPO, or offshore staffing firm, or in a US-facing GCC finance team

• Working knowledge of US GAAP and the full accounting cycle

• Advanced hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online, including QuickBooks Online Advanced features and US accounting workflows

• Demonstrated ownership of month-end close, not just participation in it

QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification required; QuickBooks Online Advanced certification preferred, with relevant QuickBooks Payroll/Bookkeeping certifications or credentials considered an advantage

• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills: pivot tables, lookups, reconciliation workpapers

• Strong written and spoken English; comfortable communicating directly with US management
• Willingness to work night shift aligned to US business hours

• B.Com or M.Com required; CA Inter, CMA, MBA (Finance), or CPA/EA in progress is a plus

• Exposure to multi-entity structures and consolidation

• Familiarity with Gusto, Bill.com, Wise, QuickBooks Payroll, and other US finance tools
