This role starts as a fill-in position with a strong likelihood of converting to a permanent long-term role for the right person. The client is only interested in candidates they would be confident keeping on long-term, so reliability, attention to detail, and strong written English are non-negotiable from day one. You will work directly with the accounting lead, which means fast feedback, clear direction, and real ownership of your work from the start. If you are detail-oriented, organized, dependable, and comfortable working independently once trained, this role is a strong fit.

• Respond to routine inbox inquiries with accurate, professional written communication

Data Entry and Record Keeping

• Enter and maintain accounts payable and accounts receivable records accurately
• Process and log invoices with correct coding, amounts, and dates
• Maintain and update vendor records and ensure information is current and complete
• Perform reconciliations and cross-checks to catch and correct data entry errors

Administrative Support for the Accounting Team

• Provide general administrative support to the accounting team as needed
• Assist with organizing, filing, and maintaining financial documents and records
• Support ad hoc accounting and administrative tasks as directed by the accounting lead

What You Bring

• Prior experience in accounting support, data entry, AP/AR, or a similar administrative finance role
• Exceptional attention to detail with a zero-error standard on data entry and record keeping
• Strong written English communication skills for professional inbox management and correspondence
• Organized, reliable, and self-directed with the ability to manage ongoing tasks independently once trained
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where accuracy and responsiveness both matter
• Available to work full-time during US business hours

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with accounting or ERP software such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar platforms
