Job Role Summary/Overview

You’ll own end-to-end accounting for multiple clients while contributing to smarter, more scalable internal processes. This role goes well beyond execution: we’re looking for someone who anticipates issues, elevates standards, and helps shape how work gets done across the firm.

Job Highlights

• Paid Hours per Week: 40 hours
• Schedule: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM | EST
• Work Arrangement: Work from home
• Contract: Independent Contractor

Side note: Since this is a permanent work-from-home position and an “Independent Contractor” arrangement, the candidates must have their own computer and internet connection. They will handle their own benefits and taxes. The professional fees are on hourly rates and the rate depends on your performance in the application process.

Responsibilities

• Maintain clean, audit-ready financials while balancing competing priorities
• Act as a trusted partner by surfacing issues early and proposing practical solutions

Financial Analysis & Insight

• Build advanced models, dashboards, and KPI reporting in Google Sheets
• Analyze trends and translate findings into clear, actionable insights
• Support forecasting, scenario planning, and strategic finance initiatives

• Review deliverables and uphold rigorous quality standards
• Coach and support junior team members through feedback and guidance
• Contribute to scalable processes and best practices across the firm

Workflow & Capacity Management

• CPA/CMA or advanced accounting degree required
