Job description

Imagine owning a clean, predictable close — every month. Your checklists sharp, your reconciliations airtight, your reports telling a story leaders can act on. That’s this role.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You’ll support fast-growing U.S. companies and CPA firms as a Philippines-based US Accountant — driving both accuracy and clarity. Full-time IC with exclusivity. No other engagements after hire.

You see accounting as a system: inputs tidy, flows efficient, outputs decision-ready. You’ll own the close, stitch together AP/AR, payroll, and reconciliations, then ship reporting that blends variance insight with plain-English commentary. Along the way you’ll standardize checklists, codify playbooks, and turn “oops” into automation.

If you like turning chaos into order and insights into action — welcome.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

• You’ve closed books for U.S. entities and can hit the ground running with minimal supervision
• You balance precision with practicality — you know when to dive deep and when to move fast
• You enjoy creating order (SOPs, templates, checklists) and love clean ledgers and tidy reconciliations
• You’re tech-curious and look for ways to automate routine work and reduce errors
• You build trust with clients through consistent delivery, transparency, and simple explanations

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

Your reports tell a story leaders can act on.

• Prepare timely balance sheets, P&Ls, and cash-flow statements with variance analysis and plain-English insights
• Build budgets, rolling forecasts, and cash-flow projections; monitor burn and runway for SMB clients
• Join standing client calls, translate financials into plain English, and proactively flag risks and opportunities

Books & Reconciliations

Precision is your baseline, not your ceiling.

• Manage the books end-to-end: AP/AR, month-end close, journal entries, accruals, and the general ledger
• Reconcile bank, credit card, merchant, and loan accounts; investigate and clear discrepancies
• Run payroll accurately: calculate wages, deductions, and withholdings; coordinate approvals; ensure on-time processing
• Maintain organized, audit-ready files and strong documentation across periods and entities

Process & Systems

Build the playbooks. Be the one who turns chaos into clarity.

• Standardize checklists, close calendars, and SOPs; suggest tech automations (rules, workflows, integrations)
• Maintain data quality and controls — every file clean, every period documented, every record audit-ready

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline
• 3+ years of U.S. accounting/bookkeeping experience (public practice or industry)
• QuickBooks Online proficiency — required, with clean documented workflows
• Strong English communication — written, spoken, and client-facing; service-oriented mindset
• Experienced CPA or non-CPA — both are welcome here
• Ownership mentality: organized, deadline-driven, managing multiple clients without sacrificing accuracy
• Comfortable working U.S. business hours (night shift, PH-based)

Preferred (nice to have):

• G-Suite/Excel (pivot tables, lookups), and basic reporting/BI tools

HOW WE WORK

Quality: Close checklists, review notes, and documentation are part of every engagement

Security: Best practices for data privacy, MFA, and least-privilege access — always

Collaboration: Slack/Zoom standups, shared task boards, and predictable review cycles

WHY CAS IS DIFFERENT

We are not a gig platform. We are not a freelance marketplace. We are not short-term staffing.

We invest in professionals who want to build a real career serving U.S. clients. At CAS, you get:

• Career-level USD compensation: $1,400–$2,400 USD/month based on experience and portfolio complexity
• Full company equipment provided (laptop, monitor, accessories)
• 15 days PTO annually + local holidays off
• Guaranteed annual increases
• Referral rewards up to $1,000
• Monthly flexible stipend (CAS Flex Perks)
• Structured onboarding and support
• A culture that actually shows up

CONTRACT & EXCLUSIVITY

This is an independent contractor engagement based in the Philippines. Full-time exclusivity is required — candidates must not hold other part-time or freelance engagements once hired. Conflict-of-interest checks may apply.
