Job description

This role supports the accounting team at a Chicago-based food service and care company, handling day-to-day bookkeeping tasks. Responsibilities include entering financial data into systems and spreadsheets, reviewing invoices and payments for accuracy, assisting with accounts payable and receivable, reconciling accounts, and preparing basic reports and documentation.

Candidates should have prior experience in accounting, bookkeeping, finance, or administration, along with strong attention to detail and comfort working with numbers and financial records. Basic proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets is expected, along with good organizational skills and the ability to work independently and handle confidential information. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

This is a fully remote position paying $20–$27 per hour depending on experience. A reliable internet connection and workspace are required, and experience with accounting software or multi-location businesses is a plus.

Applicant tracking systems sit between most online applications and the hiring manager. If your resume hasn't been looked at with that in mind lately, it's worth a second opinion.
