About the Role:

A highly skilled and detail-oriented Senior Accountant is needed to support a U.S.-based outsourced accounting firm that helps businesses manage their end-to-end accounting operations and monthly financial reporting.

This role involves overseeing multiple client accounts, maintaining accurate records, and delivering timely, high-quality financial reports. The ideal candidate takes pride in precision, demonstrates excellent communication, and can manage multiple portfolios with minimal supervision.

There are two types of Accountant roles available:

• Client-Facing Senior Accountant focuses on direct client communication via email and phone/video calls.


• Non-Client-Facing Accountant focuses on accounting execution and reporting with minimal client interaction.
  
  

Both roles share the same core responsibilities and high standards of accuracy, timeliness, and professionalism.

Key Responsibilities:

Accounting Operations & Financial Reporting

• Maintain accurate accounting records for multiple U.S.-based clients in accordance with U.S. GAAP or private company standards (training provided per client).


• Prepare monthly financial statements using the accrual method, including variance analysis, commentary, and actionable insights.


• Ensure timely and accurate filing of monthly sales tax returns.


• Identify, analyze, and correct historical accounting errors as needed.
  
  

Transaction Management & Reconciliation

• Categorize and reconcile bank and credit card transactions on a weekly and monthly basis.


• Process accounts payable and generate client invoices accurately and on schedule.


• Reconcile revenue to billing systems, contracts, and customer payment processors.


• Allocate payroll to departments and classes, ensuring accuracy in expense tracking and reporting.


• Review and reconcile prepaid, missing, or misclassified expenses.


• Process employee expense reports and ensure correct tax treatment.
  
  

Client Communication & System Coordination

• (For client-facing role) Communicate proactively with clients through email or phone to clarify transactions and address financial inquiries.


• Troubleshoot and resolve accounting or CRM software issues efficiently.


• Assist with onboarding new clients and establishing accounting workflows.


• Support audit preparation and financial reviews when required.
  
  

Performance & Insights

• Generate monthly KPI reports and financial summaries that highlight trends, opportunities, and key variances.


• Contribute ideas to improve accounting systems, reporting processes, and client satisfaction.
  
  

Qualifications & Ideal Traits:

• Certified Public Accountant (CPA) — active registration in the Philippines required.


• Minimum of 5 years of accounting experience in public or outsourced accounting firms managing multiple clients (Preferred).


• Strong command of accrual-based accounting and familiarity with U.S. accounting standards (Good to have).


• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise (Required); familiarity with Xero, Bill.com, Expensify, Ramp, Divvy, or Concur is a plus (Preferred).


• Excellent knowledge of Excel (pivot tables, formulas, and data analysis).


• Experience preparing and filing U.S. sales tax returns preferred.


• Fluent in English with excellent written and verbal communication skills.


• Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and the ability to manage deadlines across multiple clients.


• Self-driven, organized, and able to work independently in a remote setup.
  
  

Working Environment:

• Remote, full-time role with flexible scheduling — work hours can be adjusted as long as deliverables are met.


• Direct reporting to the company owner and regular coordination with the U.S.-based clients (for client-facing roles).


• Collaborative, professional environment focused on quality, efficiency, and client trust.
  
  

This position is ideal for a seasoned and credentialed accountant who thrives in dynamic, high-accuracy environments. Whether you prefer a client-facing role that emphasizes communication and client engagement, or a non-client-facing role focused on precision and execution, this opportunity offers flexibility, growth, and the chance to contribute meaningfully to a trusted U.S.-based accounting firm.
