Somebody has to catch the invoice about to go out with the wrong total. Or the budget line quietly drifting before it turns into a real problem. We need a
Remote Finance Assistant who pays attention to exactly that kind of thing.
About the Role
Day-to-day mechanics that keep finance running — reconciling data, tracking invoices, supporting budget prep. That's half of it. The other half is turning raw numbers into something people outside finance can actually use without having to ask three follow-up questions. Precision matters, sure. But precision that never gets read isn't worth much either.
What Fills the Day
Reconciling financial data through cloud-based tools eats up a good chunk of time. Generating invoices, following up so payments don't slip through. You'll support monthly and quarterly budget prep, help pull together documentation for audits, and validate vendor data for procurement. Beyond the routine stuff, there's real room to make things better — a cleaner dashboard, a workflow that's been clunky for months, a summary that actually lands instead of getting skimmed and forgotten.
What Gets You Considered
A high school diploma or its equivalent covers the educational side. A Bachelor's in Finance or Accounting helps, but plenty of strong candidates never had one. Experience-wise: at least two years in finance administration or bookkeeping, remote work being a plus though not a requirement.
- High school diploma or equivalent
- 2+ years in finance administration or bookkeeping
- Solid grasp of bookkeeping methods and documentation accuracy
- Spreadsheets don't intimidate you — pivot tables, formulas, all of it
- Manages time well across different time zones
- Writes and talks clearly enough that non-finance people can follow along
Helps but isn't required: a Bachelor's in Finance or Accounting, prior work at a startup or on a distributed team, some comfort with Zapier or Airtable, or experience building out finance SOPs from scratch.
How the Work Runs
Fully remote. Flexible across time zones, mostly async on feedback and goal-setting. One weekly check-in keeps everyone aligned, but the rest of the day doesn't require matching anyone else's clock. This role's posted in a few places right now, Naukri Mitra among them — same review no matter where the application lands.
Tools You'll Use
QuickBooks Online and Xero handle the core accounting work. Google Sheets, Excel, and Tableau cover visualization and reporting. Trello and Notion keep projects organized. Slack, Zoom, Loom, and Miro round out the communication tools.
Pay and What's Included
This role pays
$58,500 a year.
- Fully remote, real flexibility across time zones
- Sponsored online certifications and workshops
- Mentorship from people further along in their finance careers
- Room to lead process improvement work, not just execute tasks handed down
- Clear goal-setting instead of vague expectations nobody can act on
Where It Can Lead
Do well here, and it tends to open into financial analyst work or bigger automation projects down the line. Worth taking seriously if finance is where you want to build a career, not just pass time.
