Somebody has to keep the books honest. Not roughly right, not "close enough by Friday" — actually correct, reconciled, and ready to hand to an auditor without flinching. That's the job. We're hiring a
Remote Bookkeeping Accountant to run our financial records day-to-day, fully remote, reporting to a finance team that treats accuracy as non-negotiable rather than aspirational.
The Job, Plainly
You'll own the general ledger. Journal entries, reconciliations, AP and AR — all of it flows through you before it becomes a report someone else relies on. If a number looks off, you're the one who catches it before it turns into a Monday-morning fire drill. Good bookkeepers are quietly indispensable. This role treats that fact seriously, both in the work itself and in how it's compensated.
What You'll Handle Week to Week
- Post and maintain general ledger entries, including month-end adjustments and reconciliations
- Record and reconcile accounts payable and receivable as transactions come in
- Run bank reconciliations and track cash flow on a fixed weekly cadence
- Pull together monthly and quarterly reports, written so non-finance people can actually follow them
- Compile documentation to support annual audits
- Sit in on budgeting and forecasting conversations with other teams
- Catch inconsistencies early, and suggest fixes instead of just flagging problems
- Keep records clean across multiple entities, not just one tidy set of books
Baseline Requirements
A
Bachelor's degree is the minimum education we're asking for. On the experience side, we need at least
3 years of bookkeeping work behind you — remote experience is a bonus, not a requirement, though it does help you hit the ground running here.
Skills That Actually Matter Here
- A real, working grasp of GAAP — not just the terminology, the practice
- Fluency in QuickBooks Online or Xero; you shouldn't need a tutorial
- Comfortable building and troubleshooting spreadsheets in Excel or Google Sheets
- The kind of attention to detail that catches a transposed digit without being told to look for it
- Enough independence to manage your own schedule and still hit every deadline
- Familiarity with audit standards and basic compliance protocols
Bonus Points For
- Hands-on time with Dext or Hubdoc for receipt and invoice handling
- Experience running your workload through Asana or Trello
- Any exposure to FP&A-style work — forecasting, budget support, that kind of thing
- A certification tied to cloud accounting platforms
How We'll Know You're Doing Well
We don't describe this role in vague terms. It comes down to three things: how accurate your entries are, whether reports land on time, and how often you catch problems before they get handed up the chain. Search around, and you'll notice most listings on
Naukri Mitra stay fuzzy on what "good performance" actually looks like in bookkeeping — we'd rather just tell you upfront.
Pay and Perks
The role pays
$70,812 a year. Beyond salary, here's what's included:
- Health coverage for you and your dependents
- Flexible hours — structure your day around when you actually focus best
- Solid PTO, plus a dedicated wellness stipend
- Funding and access for certifications and ongoing learning
Team Culture, Without the Fluff
We check in over video, track work in shared tools, and expect people to speak up before being asked. Nobody's watching your screen. But if deadlines slip without warning, that gets noticed fast. It's a setup that works well for people who take pride in doing things right the first time, and less well for people who need constant oversight to stay on track.
Where This Can Lead
Bookkeeping is often step one, not the whole staircase. As the company scales, this role opens toward FP&A work, controller-track responsibilities, and eventually fractional CFO territory for the right person. If you're building toward a long remote finance career rather than just filling a gap between jobs, this is a reasonable place to start climbing.
