About Us

Our client is a growing accounting services company supporting businesses with accurate, dependable bookkeeping and financial operations. The team works remotely across multiple countries and is continuing to expand as its client base grows. The company is also moving toward a more technology-driven operating model, with a strong focus on improving systems, workflows, and efficiency.

About the Role

As a Bookkeeper, you will manage day-to-day bookkeeping across a portfolio of approximately 5–10 clients, depending on complexity, while also supporting some internal company bookkeeping.

Around 75% of the role is focused on client-facing bookkeeping, with approximately 20–25% dedicated to internal bookkeeping responsibilities. This is a growth and capacity hire designed to support an expanding client base and create additional capacity within the existing accounting team.

The ideal candidate can independently manage AP, AR, payroll, reconciliations, and general ledger activity and ideally take client accounts further through month-end work and adjusting entries. You will work directly with clients, Account Managers, vendors, banks, and other third parties, so strong communication and accuracy are essential.
