• Keep accounts receivable clean and current

Payables

• Process and pay bills on schedule, including payments to travel suppliers and partners
• Maintain accurate vendor records

Month-end close

• Reconcile bank and credit card accounts

• Deliver a P&L, balance sheet, and cash view the founder can act on

Controls & compliance

• Keep the books audit-ready
• Design and maintain practical financial controls suited to a small team
• Coordinate with our outside CPA on tax filings

Business admin

• Manage insurance policies, business licenses, and vendor contracts
• Keep business records organized, current, and easy to find

What you bring

• Full-cycle bookkeeping and month-end close experience

• Self-direction and reliability in a remote, part-time setup
