JOB OVERVIEW

About the Role

We are a growing accounting firm looking for a Remote Bookkeeper / Client Accounting Specialist to support our team during both regular months and busy season. This role handles day-to-day bookkeeping, reconciliations, and client accounting support so our CPAs can focus on higher-level tax and advisory work.

This role works US business hours, which fall during the night in the Philippines. Please only apply if you are able to work a consistent night shift long term.

Core Responsibilities

Bookkeeping: Maintain accurate books for multiple clients including data entry, categorization, and monthly reconciliations.

Client Accounting Support: Assist with accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll support, and general ledger maintenance across a portfolio of client accounts.

Reporting: Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reports and summaries for client and internal review.

Tax Season Support: Assist with document collection, organization, and preparation support during tax season, helping the firm handle increased volume without dropping quality.

Communication: Respond to client questions about their books and financials in a clear, professional manner.

What We Are Looking For

Required:

1 or more years of experience in bookkeeping, accounting support, or client accounting services
Comfortable with QuickBooks Online or Desktop, or a similar accounting platform, and willing to learn our specific setup
Strong written and spoken English
Comfortable working independently in a remote environment on a night shift schedule
Careful and accurate with numbers

Preferred:

Direct experience with QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop specifically
Experience supporting multiple clients simultaneously in a firm setting, not just single-company bookkeeping
Familiarity with payroll platforms such as Gusto or ADP
Any formal accounting or bookkeeping certification
Previous experience working a night shift or graveyard schedule for a US-based company

Soft Skills We Care About:

Meticulous and accurate, numbers must be right every time
Able to handle a heavier workload during busy season without dropping quality
Comfortable asking clarifying questions rather than guessing on a client's books
Professional and discreet with sensitive financial information

Compensation and Details

Full time, 40 hours per week
Remote from the Philippines
Night shift hours aligned to US business hours
Pay range: $5 to $7 per hour depending on experience
Independent contractor engagement

How to Apply

To be considered, please submit:

Your resume or CV
A brief note explaining your bookkeeping experience and which accounting software you have used
Confirmation that you can sustain a long-term night shift schedule, with details of any prior night shift experience
Your English proficiency level (spoken and written)
