About the Role
We are a growing U.S.-based CPA firm seeking an experienced Controller to own the quality, accuracy, and delivery of client financials. This is a true Controller role, not a bookkeeping or task-based position.
You will be responsible for reviewing and approving all bookkeeper work, managing client accounting communications, and ensuring financials meet firm standards before being delivered to clients.
This role is designed around accountability and outcomes, not time tracking. We do not micromanage hours—we expect professionalism, ownership, and consistency.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and approve all bookkeeper work in QuickBooks Online
- Ensure monthly bookkeeping is complete, accurate, and compliant with firm standards
- Serve as the primary accounting point of contact for clients (non-CFO services)
- Review financial statements and approve them prior to client delivery
- Communicate directly with clients regarding accounting questions, adjustments, and explanations
- Receive client accounting requests, determine appropriate handling, and:
- Complete Controller-level tasks personally, or
- Assign work to bookkeepers and track completion
- Ensure all client requests are:
- Completed on time
- Completed correctly
- Communicated clearly to the client
- Train, correct, and guide bookkeepers within QBO as needed
- Escalate staffing concerns (promotion or termination) when appropriate
You will not be responsible for CFO reports, but your work will directly support CFO-level analysis.
Required Availability (Very Important)
Because our clients are U.S.-based, this role requires consistent availability for client meetings during U.S. Central Time (CST):
- Monday–Friday
- 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM CST
- Outside of meetings, review and follow-up work may be completed flexibly
This role requires 5 working days per week.
Compensation & Structure
- $1,500 USD per month
- Paid weekly
- Approximately 6 - 7 hours per day, 5 days per week
- No time tracking
- Performance and compensation review after 30 days
This is a monthly, outcome-based role, not hourly.
Benefits & Perks
- Philippine holidays off
- 5 paid days off per year (increases to 10 days after 1 year)
- Stable, long-term role with a growing firm
- Clear internal growth path (Senior Controller roles will be filled internally)
- Support from a dedicated Zoho One automation expert to streamline workflows
- Direct access to firm leadership and decision-making
Required Experience
- Strong Controller-level experience (review, approval, judgment)
- Hands-on experience in QuickBooks Online
- Ability to review, correct, and train bookkeepers in QBO
- Experience communicating directly with clients
- Strong understanding of month-end close and financial reporting
- High attention to detail and accountability
