Job description

We are seeking precision-driven financial operators who create order, visibility, and integrity for growing businesses. This role is designed for individuals who think in systems, prioritize accuracy, and understand the strategic story behind the numbers.

You will act as the architect of a client’s financial clarity, ensuring the business runs on a predictable financial engine. This is not a data-entry role; it is a performance role.

THE IMPACT Your effectiveness is measured by the environment you create:

Financial Visibility: Leaders have a real-time "dashboard" to make faster, bolder strategic decisions.

Operational Rhythm: The business gains a predictable financial engine that runs smoothly on autopilot.

Compliance Peace of Mind: Tax, payroll, and audit risks are managed with total precision.

Executive Capacity: Leaders remain focused on their high-level mission, completely removed from the spreadsheets.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Visibility & Decision Support: Deliver high-quality financial statements and proactive budget oversight to serve as a "true north" for the client.

Operational Consistency: Own the weekly and monthly financial rhythms—from seamless reconciliations to managing payables and receivables.

Compliance & Risk Mitigation: Execute payroll, tax filings, and 1099s with 100% accuracy while maintaining audit-ready records.

Capacity Enablement: Handle the heavy lifting of QBO management and e-commerce accounting to eliminate the client's mental burden.

TECH ENABLED PRODUCTIVITY Use AI (e.g., Dext, Bill.com) and AI-driven reporting to automate reconciliations, integrate financial ecosystems, and elevate reporting speed without sacrificing accuracy.

LOGISTICS

Remote (U.S. only; excluding CA, CO, MT, NJ, NY, PA)

1099 Contractor | Starting at $20/hour

Monthly pay based on contracted hours; hours not guaranteed

WHO YOU ARE

Strategic operator who understands that precision is the foundation of a client's decision-making.

Resourceful problem-solver who resolves reconciliation discrepancies independently.

Professional advisor capable of handling sensitive financial data with maturity and discretion.

Anticipatory thinker who identifies cash flow trends and risks before they become problems.

3 + Years of managing full-cycle bookkeeping independently

Experience owning month-end close without supervision

Industry exposure (e-commerce, agencies, SMBs)

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF

You require a manager to assign your daily tasks or reconcile your accounts.

You view bookkeeping as "back-office" data entry rather than a client-facing partnership.

You struggle with technology or prefer manual workflows over automated systems.

You only have AP/AR experience

No client-facing experience

Lack ownership of full financial cycle

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE The financial close is completed accurately and on time every month, workflows are fully optimized, and the client trusts your judgment implicitly as a critical member of their leadership team.
