Most bookkeeping teams run on habit — the same process every month, whether it still fits the client or not. We're hiring a
Director of Virtual Bookkeeping to change that, someone who can lead a remote team, rebuild the workflows that need it, and give business owners one less thing to worry about.
The Role
You'll take ownership of how a distributed bookkeeping team operates, from the tools they use to the way clients experience the work. This isn't a maintenance role. You're expected to notice what's slow, fix it, and build habits across the team to make the next quarter smoother than the last. Some of that is process design. A good portion of it is people — coaching, hiring, and keeping a remote team pointed in the same direction.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead a remote bookkeeping team working across QuickBooks Online, Xero, and FreshBooks, setting the standard for how the work gets done.
- Identify repetitive or manual tasks and replace them with automation — Zapier flows, custom APIs, or dashboards the team will actually use.
- Spot bottlenecks in client workflows and resolve them before they turn into bigger problems.
- Set and maintain standards around compliance, data security, and accuracy across every client account.
- Run training sessions, pilot new tools, and keep the team up to date on better ways of working.
- Translate financial data into something clients can actually act on, not just a report they skim once and file away.
- Coach individual bookkeepers — new hires and experienced staff alike — and give feedback that's specific enough to be useful.
- Coordinate with operations, technology, and client support teams so new processes actually stick once they're rolled out.
Qualifications
- Experience: At least 5 years in accounting, bookkeeping, or financial operations, including time spent leading or managing a team.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
- A track record of building or improving processes using cloud-based accounting and automation tools.
- Experience hiring, training, or scaling a remote team, ideally across multiple time zones.
- The ability to explain a process change in plain terms — to a client who's never opened QuickBooks and to a teammate who's used it for years.
- Comfort working across time zones and with teams or clients from different regions.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with reporting and analytics tools such as Google Sheets or Excel used for fast, client-facing decisions.
- Prior experience in a client-facing leadership role within a virtual or remote-first company.
- A background introducing new software or workflow tools to a team already set in its ways.
How You'll Lead
People here expect direct, useful feedback — not vague encouragement or silence until something goes wrong. You'll build systems that flex as clients and team members change, rather than a fixed playbook everyone's expected to follow regardless of fit. New clients get a real onboarding experience, not a template email. If you're scanning Naukri Mitra for a leadership role where you actually shape the strategy rather than inherit someone else's, this is that kind of opening.
Tools You'll Work With
- Bookkeeping platforms: QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks.
- Automation: Zapier, custom APIs, internal dashboards.
- Collaboration: Slack, Zoom, Notion, Google Workspace.
- Reporting: Google Sheets, Excel, and other analytics tools built for quick decisions.
Compensation and Benefits
- Annual salary of USD 70,000, full-time and fully remote.
- Flexibility to build your own schedule and work from wherever suits you.
- Paid time off and standard health benefits.
- A dedicated budget for professional development and new tool training.
- Real room to grow — take on bigger projects, help shape new service offerings, or move into a broader leadership track.
Who Does Well in This Role
You'll want to be equally comfortable thinking about the bigger picture and getting into the details of a specific client's account. Curiosity matters — the tools and best practices in this space shift fast, and you should enjoy learning them and passing that knowledge along. Above all, you should genuinely like helping people: the founders whose books you're cleaning up, and the team members you're coaching along the way.
Where This Role Is Open To
Applicants from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, India, and other eligible regions are welcome to apply — this is a fully remote position with no single-country residency requirement.
