Job Description

Part-Time Accountant (Remote)

Reports to: Accounting Manager 
Schedule: Part-time, 20–30 hours/week during normal business hours 
Location: Fully remote

About us

We're a remote accounting firm that works exclusively in bookkeeping and Controller services for growing small businesses. No tax prep, no audits. That focus is intentional. It means our clients get accountants who actually know their books, and our team gets to do meaningful work without the seasonal grind that comes with tax season.

We're a collaborative group, our clients stick with us for the long haul, and the work-life balance is real.

What you'll do

You'll own the day-to-day accounting for a portfolio of small business clients. That includes:
  • Recording financial transactions in the client's accounting software
  • Reconciling bank and credit card statements
  • Processing AP and AR
  • Producing monthly financial reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
  • Maintaining the general ledger
  • Supporting the client's CPA at year-end for tax prep
  • Coordinating with payroll providers when applicable
  • Communicating directly with clients to flag discrepancies or share updates
  • Providing audit support when needed
You'll be the primary point of contact for your clients, so the relationship matters as much as the numbers.

What we're looking for
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • 5+ years of hands-on bookkeeping experience for small businesses, including monthly close and financial reporting
  • 1+ year using accounting software in a professional setting
  • QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor Level 1 certification
  • Comfortable working 20–30 hours per week during regular business hours
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Experience working remotely on a team where trust and follow-through carry the relationship
  • Discretion when handling confidential client data
  • Genuine willingness to learn new tech as our tools evolve
Working setup

This role is fully remote. You'll need a dedicated workspace, free from distractions, and reliable high-speed internet. Hours are scheduled in agreement with your manager based on client needs.
