Job description

**This is a full-time independent contractor role. Candidates must be able to commit exclusively to this position and not engage in part-time or freelance work once hired.**

Do you enjoy bringing order to chaos, catching what others miss, and making clients’ lives easier through clean, accurate books? If so, we might just be looking for you.

We’re hiring a Staff Accountant to join a mission-driven, high-performing team supporting U.S. clients. In this role, you’ll play a crucial part in daily and monthly accounting operations, support onboarding and audits, and contribute to process improvement projects. If you’re proactive, detail-obsessed, and excited about working in a collaborative remote environment - you’ll fit right in

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

• Competitive compensation package tailored to your experience and expertise
• Discretionary Year End Bonus Rewarding your hardwork and dedication.
• Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) including vacation, sick leave, and holidays
• Morning shift with flexible work schedule with 3-4 hours overlap with Pacific Time
• 100% remote setup – work from the comfort of your home
• Career growth opportunities in a fast-evolving team
• Supportive, people-first culture built on transparency, trust, and continuous improvement.

CLIENT BACKGROUND

This U.S.-based accounting firm specializes in serving nonprofit organizations, advocacy groups, and purpose-driven entities. Their clients are primarily mission-aligned NGOs and social impact-focused organizations that require thoughtful, high-integrity financial support.

The firm is transitioning away from a BPO structure and is focused on building a reliable, engaged internal accounting team. You’ll be joining a collaborative environment where communication is open, processes are evolving, and everyone is committed to high-quality service. If you care about the work and the people behind it, this is the place to be.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform day-to-day accounting tasks including reconciliations, AP/AR, and journal entries
• Prepare and maintain clean, review-ready workpapers and schedules
• Support month-end close and year-end audit prep for multiple clients
• Assist with onboarding new clients and setting up accounting systems
• Help with clean-up projects and documentation of workflows
• Coordinate with clients and internal team members to resolve outstanding issues
• Collaborate on improving internal SOPs and accounting processes
• Participate in transitioning clients from external providers to the in-house team
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients — joining meetings, sharing updates, and presenting financials

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• At least 2+ years of full-cycle US public accounting experience supporting multiple clients
• US non profit experience is a plus!
• CPA preferred but not required
• Strong QuickBooks Online (QBO) experience is required
• Familiarity with tools like Bill.com, Expensify, Ramp, Stripe, PayPal, and Google Workspace
• Experience supporting audit processes and documentation
• Excellent English communication skills (written and spoken)
• Ability to manage multiple clients and deadlines with minimal supervision

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Stable high-speed internet connection
• Secluded workstation to ensure a private and distraction-free environment

DESCRIPTION OF IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Detail-Oriented & Organized - You take pride in delivering accurate work and spotting inconsistencies others miss.
• Proactive & Accountable - You take initiative, communicate clearly, and don’t wait to be told what needs doing.
• Communicative & Client-Responsive - You’re professional, prompt, and personable—even over Zoom or Slack.
• Process-Minded & Adaptable - You love documenting workflows and suggesting improvements that benefit the team.
• Independent Yet Collaborative - You manage your workload autonomously, but you’re also eager to support and connect.
• Comfortable with Change - You thrive in evolving systems and don’t get rattled by shifting processes.
• Kind & Candid - You value honest feedback, appreciate transparency, and bring a growth mindset to the table.
