Job description

Employment Type : Full-time (exclusive commitment)

Compensation : $1,200-$1,600 (commensurate with experience, scope & location)

Time-zone alignment : 9am–5pm U.S. Eastern

About the Job

You turn chaos into clean books. As a Junior Accountant / Bookkeeper with Cloud Accountant Staffing, you’ll reconcile accounts, categorize transactions, clear discrepancies, and deliver tidy, decision-ready financials—while keeping clients informed and unblocked. You’ll grow range quickly by supporting a portfolio of small businesses across industries and tools, with clear playbooks and close coaching.

About the Role

You’ll be the steady rhythm behind “month-end calm” : clean ledgers, on-time submissions, and crisp updates that clients actually understand. Expect real ownership—daily check-ins, weekly 1 : 1s, clear KPIs—and a supportive environment where SOPs, templates, and feedback loops help you get better fast. You bring the curiosity; we’ll bring the playbook.

What You’ll Do

  • Categorize transactions and reconcile bank, credit card, merchant, and loan accounts with airtight tie-outs.
  • Post journal entries and adjustments to ensure accuracy and completeness (prepayments, accruals, reclasses).
  • Maintain general ledger hygiene and keep financial records current across periods and entities.
  • Prepare month-end submissions for review with clear notes on variances and outstanding items.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for your assigned clients : answer questions, request documents, and unblock work through proactive, empathetic communication (written & verbal).
  • Share plain-English summaries of what changed, what’s pending, and what’s next.
  • Daily check-ins summarizing tasks completed, blockers, and questions; weekly 1 : 1s for goal progress.
  • Hit portfolio-level KPIs (response times, quality scores, month-end & year-end delivery) with coaching and templates.

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
  • At least 2+ years of U.S. bookkeeping (or tax filing) experience with SMBs and at least 2+ years of direct customer communication (email / calls) supporting SMB clients.
  • Working knowledge of accounting principles, softwares, and modern cloud workflows.
  • Attention to detail that borders on fussy (in the best way) and an ownership mentality—you close loops.
  • Coachability : low-ego, feedback-hungry, growth-oriented.
  • Tool comfort : Google Workspace / Microsoft Office; bonus if you’ve touched AP / AR or expense tools.
  • English communication : clear, concise, and client-friendly.
  • The Ideal Candidate

  • You love turning messy inputs into balanced, reconciled, and explainable outputs.
  • You’re predictive, not reactive—you ask for what you need early and suggest simple fixes.
  • You treat SOPs and checklists as living documents—and you improve them after each win.
  • You thrive on consistency (habits, templates, naming) and momentum (small wins daily).
  • Compensation & Benefits

    USD monthly compensation, competitive to market, based on experience & location.

    Permanent WFH with company-provided equipment (laptop, monitor, accessories) and required specs.

    15 days PTO annually + local public holidays in your country of residence.

    Exposure & Learning

    Exposure to diverse U.S. industries and modern bookkeeping stacks; tight feedback loops and documented methods.

    Contract Status & Exclusivity

    This is a full-time role. Exclusivity is required—no part-time or freelance work once hired.

    Equipment & Tools (Minimums)

  • Peripherals : External monitor, headset, privacy screen.
  • Internet : 75–100 Mbps stable connection.
  • Success Metrics (You’ll be supported to hit these)

  • Month-end submissions : ≥50% of portfolio submitted each month.
  • Year-end financial package delivery : ≥80% by deadline.
  • How We Work

  • Quality-first : predictable close calendars, review notes, and neat folders—every time.
  • Security : MFA, least-privilege access, and secure file-sharing are non-negotiable.
  • Collaboration : Slack / Zoom check-ins, shared task boards, and fast feedback.
  • Application Process

  • Application & Prescreening
  • Skills & Aptitude Assessment
  • Profile and Pre-interview Preparation
  • Client Interview
  • Employment Offer and Onboarding
  • Ready to take the next step?
