US Accountant (Philippines)

ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll support fast-growing U.S. companies and CPA firms as a Philippines-based US Accountant - driving both accuracy and clarity. Full-time IC with exclusivity. No other engagements after hire.

You see accounting as a system: inputs tidy, flows efficient, outputs decision-ready. You'll own the close, stitch together AP/AR, payroll, and reconciliations, then ship reporting that blends variance insight with plain-English commentary. Along the way you'll standardize checklists, codify playbooks, and turn "oops" into automation.

If you like turning chaos into order and insights into action - welcome.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

• You've closed books for U.S. entities and can hit the ground running with minimal supervision

• You balance precision with practicality - you know when to dive deep and when to move fast

• You enjoy creating order (SOPs, templates, checklists) and love clean ledgers and tidy reconciliations

• You're tech-curious and look for ways to automate routine work and reduce errors

• You build trust with clients through consistent delivery, transparency, and simple explanations

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Financial Reporting

Your reports tell a story leaders can act on.

• Prepare timely balance sheets, P&Ls, and cash-flow statements with variance analysis and plain-English insights

• Build budgets, rolling forecasts, and cash-flow projections; monitor burn and runway for SMB clients

• Join standing client calls, translate financials into plain English, and proactively flag risks and opportunities

Books & Reconciliations

Precision is your baseline, not your ceiling.

• Manage the books end-to-end: AP/AR, month-end close, journal entries, accruals, and the general ledger

• Reconcile bank, credit card, merchant, and loan accounts; investigate and clear discrepancies

• Run payroll accurately: calculate wages, deductions, and withholdings; coordinate approvals; ensure on-time processing

• Maintain organized, audit-ready files and strong documentation across periods and entities

Process & Systems

Build the playbooks. Be the one who turns chaos into clarity.

• Standardize checklists, close calendars, and SOPs; suggest tech automations (rules, workflows, integrations)

• Maintain data quality and controls - every file clean, every period documented, every record audit-ready

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline

• 2+ years of U.S. accounting/bookkeeping experience (public practice or industry)

• QuickBooks Online proficiency - required, with clean documented workflows

• Strong English communication - written, spoken, and client-facing; service-oriented mindset

• Experienced CPA or non-CPA - both are welcome here

• Ownership mentality: organized, deadline-driven, managing multiple clients without sacrificing accuracy

• Comfortable working U.S. business hours (night shift, PH-based)

Preferred (nice to have):

• Xero, Bill.com http://Bill.com (or similar AP/AR automation)

• G-Suite/Excel (pivot tables, lookups), and basic reporting/BI tools
