Remote jobs in Indonesia

ISTA Personnel Solutions South Africa is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company, specializing in providing top-tier operational support to U.S.-based companies.

We are seeking an experienced General Accountant with strong general accounting and bookkeeping knowledge to support a U.S.-based outsourced accounting firm. This is not an entry-level role — candidates must have a solid grasp of the full accounting cycle and experience preparing management-level reports.
