Job description

Tragas Consulting is a financial & operations agency that helps eCommerce agencies transform chaos into clarity. We work embedded with agency teams, building the financial and operational foundation they need to scale profitably.

Our work spans financial modelling, profitability strategy, resource planning, utilization tracking, SOP development, and fractional CFO/COO services. Founder Tiara Tragas brings 8+ years of hands-on experience across pricing, scoping, bookkeeping, pay structures, systems, and execution, and our team of operational experts and financial analysts works collaboratively to deliver the dashboards, processes, and clarity that agencies need to grow with confidence.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a Bookkeeper & Financial Operations Specialist who can do more than keep the books clean. You'll own day-to-day accounting for select clients and work alongside leadership on the financial modeling and forecasting work that defines what we do for companies.

This means you're equally comfortable in QuickBooks and complex Google Sheets, as fluent in reconciliations as you are in scenario modeling, and you actively use AI tools to work faster and smarter.

We are actively looking for candidates based in Latin America or the Philippines.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

BOOKKEEPING & DAILY FINANCIAL OPERATIONS

• Record, categorize, and reconcile daily transactions across bank and credit card accounts
• Manage accounts receivable and accounts payable, invoicing in QuickBooks and Xero, tracking payment status, and following up proactively on overdue accounts
• Maintain clean, audit-ready books and organized digital filing at all times
• Execute month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close; deliver reconciled books by the 5th of each month
• Prepare monthly financial reports (P&L, cash flow, margin snapshots) and support external accountants at year-end

FINANCIAL MODELING & FORECASTING (CLIENT-FACING)

You'll work directly with leadership on the financial models we build for clients.

• Build financial models from scratch, including revenue projections, cost structures, cash flow forecasts, and scenario analyses
• Maintain and update existing models as client financials evolve, keeping assumptions, drivers, and outputs accurate
• Support the preparation of client-facing forecast presentations: clean, clear, and decision-ready
• Help translate raw financial data into insights that leadership can actually act on

AI-POWERED WORKFLOWS & SYSTEMS

We use AI tools actively in our work and expect you to do the same.

• Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, and others) daily to accelerate analysis, drafting, and data work - a core part of how you operate, not a novelty
• Identify and implement workflow improvements that reduce manual effort and improve output quality
• Leverage automation and modern tooling across accounting platforms and spreadsheets
• Maintain consistency across systems; flag process gaps, risks, or inefficiencies proactively

• QuickBooks Online & Xero
• Google Sheets / Excel - advanced level required
• AI tools: ChatGPT, Claude, and similar (daily use expected)
• Lovable
• Banking platforms & credit card portals

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required

• 3+ years of bookkeeping or financial operations experience
• Hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online and/or Xero
• Advanced Google Sheets or Excel skills - you build models, not just fill in data
• Experience building or maintaining financial models: forecasts, scenario analyses, cash flow projectionsActive daily user of AI tools - able to speak concretely to how you use them in your workflowStrong understanding of reconciliations, AR/AP, and month-end close \li>Highly organized, detail-oriented, able to manage recurring deadlines without oversight \li>Clear communicator who flags issues early and documents work well
