Nimbl seeks an Accounting Specialist in Cebu City to manage reconciliations, journal entries, and categorization for client accounts. You will follow documented close workflows and review your own work before it reaches the senior accountant, with client contacts handled under guidance.
Preferred candidates have 2+ years of bookkeeping experience, including QuickBooks Online; familiarity with Bill.com or Gusto is a plus. Strong attention to detail and deadline discipline are essential.
About the role
You already know your way around a set of books. Reconciliations get done, bills are entered, transactions get categorized correctly. This is the role where that foundation turns into ownership.
You follow documented close workflows and complete the bookkeeping assigned to you, then review your own work before it reaches the senior accountant. Where the process calls for judgment, and you see a clear path forward, you are trusted to use it. You may also communicate with clients by text or email, guided by your senior accountant.
Nimbl provides the departments a business needs to scale — accounting, tax, technology, global talent, and strategic finance — all under one roof. With 100+ team members across the U.S., the Philippines, and Latin America, we operate as one aligned team serving ambitious business owners.
All bank and credit card reconciliations for your assigned clients, completed accurately and on schedule
Transaction categorization, journal entries, and data extraction
Balance sheet and other supporting schedules kept current, with discrepancies identified and researched
The staff review at close: bringing together everything you have entered during the month and reviewing it yourself before your senior accountant's review
Basic cleanups, with direction
Updating process documentation for the tasks and processes you own, so the next person can pick them up
Proficient use of every internal and client-facing tool in the Nimbl tech stack
Timely follow-through on review notes and open questions. Nothing sits.
Depending on the client engagement, your work may also include:
Client communication by text or email, guided by your senior accountant
Creating and sending client invoices
Entering vendor bills and preparing payments for approval
Preparing payroll for review and processing
Not every client includes all of these. Assignments are matched based on client, company, and individual capabilities and need.
Bachelor's degree in Accountancy, Management Accounting, or a related course. Being a CPA or CMA is a plus, but not required.
At least 2 years of hands-on bookkeeping or general accounting experience. Experience with US-based clients is a strong advantage.
Working QuickBooks Online skills. Familiarity with Bill.com, Gusto, or similar tools is a plus.
Comfortable working with both cash-basis and accrual-basis accounting
Strong English communication, both written and spoken
Strong attention to detail
Reliability with deadlines. Close dates and client deliverables are met when promised, and when something looks like it might slip, you raise it early rather than after the fact.
Comfortable asking questions when something is unclear instead of assuming, and consistent in following through on review notes
Nice to have: sales tax support, multi-client handling, book cleanups, and any experience using AI tools in an accounting workflow. We are actively building that into how the team works.
