Experienced Accountant — Monthly P&L, Financial Statements & Audit Trail (Remote)

Job Title: Experienced Accountant — Monthly P&L, Financial Statements & Audit Trail (Remote)

Type: Full-time, remote

Compensation: $1,500–$2,000 USD/month, based on experience. Stable, long-term role.

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT HOLD A CPA OR EQUIVALENT PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING DESIGNATION. Applications without a recognized accounting qualification will not be considered.

About the role:

We're a US-registered company operating an online services business. We already have an accountant producing daily and monthly P&Ls. We're now adding an experienced accountant to take ownership of producing clean monthly P&Ls and our yearly financial statements, backed by a meticulous, well-organized audit trail.

The heart of this role is documentation discipline: every number in the financials must tie back to source records — bank statements, payment-processor statements, and internal reports — all reconciled and filed in a clean, logical cloud folder structure (Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar) so that anyone reviewing the books can trace any figure back to its backup in seconds.

What you'll do:

- Produce clean, accurate monthly P&L statements

- Prepare the yearly financial statements

- Reconcile bank statements and payment-processor statements against internal records every month, with zero unexplained discrepancies

- Build and maintain a clear, complete audit trail: every transaction supported by documentation, organized in well-structured cloud folders with reliable backups

- Keep records logically filed so any line item can be traced to its source quickly

- Flag and resolve anything that doesn't reconcile

- Maintain clean separation of records with no co-mingling

What we're looking for:

- A CPA or an equivalent professional accounting designation (required). We welcome qualified applicants worldwide — including the Philippines, Indonesia, Argentina, South Africa, and elsewhere

- Several years of hands-on experience producing monthly P&Ls, financial statements, and reconciliations

- Strong, advanced Excel skills — this role is Excel-based, not built on QuickBooks/Xero. You should be very comfortable reconciling bank and payment-processor statements in Excel

- Audit experience — you understand what a clean, traceable audit trail looks like

- Meticulous attention to detail — you notice when something is off by a few dollars

- Excellent organization and documentation habits, especially with cloud folder structures

- Reliable and self-managing, able to hit monthly and year-end deadlines without supervision

- Clear written English

Nice to have:

- Experience supporting US-registered companies (helpful, not required — US tax filing is handled separately by our tax advisors)

To apply, please answer these questions:

1. What is your accounting designation, what country is it from, and how many years have you held it?

2. Describe a set of books you currently or recently maintained: how many transactions per month, and how did you reconcile bank and payment-processor statements against the internal records?

3. Walk us through how you build and organize an audit trail — specifically how you structure your cloud folders and link supporting documents so any figure can be traced back to its source.

4. How comfortable are you reconciling in Excel without accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero? Briefly describe your Excel approach.

5. Do you have experience with US-registered companies? (Helpful but not required.)
