Wave Accounting keeps many small businesses running without the overhead of a full finance department, but someone still has to sit behind it and make sure the numbers hold up. We're bringing on a
virtual Wave Accounting specialist to do exactly that, with part-time and full-time openings both live right now at $78,014 annually.
The Role In A Nutshell
You'll be the person keeping financial records accurate inside Wave Accounting, day in and day out. That means recording transactions correctly, managing invoices from creation through payment, and reconciling accounts payable and receivable so nothing drifts out of balance. When clients need a clear picture of their finances, you're the one building the reports that give them that picture.
People typing
Wave accounting jobs remote into a search bar often assume this kind of role is entry-level bookkeeping. It can be, depending on your background, but it also stretches into payroll processing and tax filings, so the day-to-day range is wider than the job title might suggest.
What You'll Own
- Keeping financial records current and accurate in Wave Accounting
- Managing invoicing from start to finish, including tracking down late payments
- Reconciling accounts payable and receivable on a consistent schedule
- Building financial reports — balance sheets, income statements, cash flow — that clients can actually act on
- Running payroll and handling the tax filings that come with it
- Fielding client questions about their finances and resolving issues as they come up
- Flagging places where the accounting process could run smoother and pushing those changes through
- Working alongside teammates so client accounts stay consistent no matter who's covering what
The Skills And Background We Need
- A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; a CPA is a plus but not a requirement
- Proven experience in accounting work, ideally with Wave Accounting specifically
- A solid grip on accounting principles and how they apply in practice, not just on paper
- Comfort with Microsoft Excel and general accounting software
- Careful, consistent attention to detail across records and reports alike
- The ability to spot a trend in financial data and explain what it means
- Strong written and verbal communication for working directly with clients
- Enough organization to manage several deadlines at once without losing track
New graduates with the right foundation are welcome to apply, too — this isn't a role that requires decades of experience, just a solid grasp of accounting fundamentals and a willingness to learn Wave's specific workflow quickly.
Salary And How You'll Work
The role pays $78,014 a year, and you choose between part-time or full-time based on what actually fits your life. Naukri Mitra places Wave Accounting specialists directly with clients who need consistent, dependable financial management, not a rotating cast of temporary help. Every part of the role runs remotely, so there's no office and no commute eating into your week.
Growing With The Role
This position isn't a dead end. As you build a track record here, there's a real path toward more complex projects, process leadership, or a move into senior or managerial accounting work down the line. The company invests in that growth rather than expecting people to figure it out on their own.
Culture And Support
Beyond salary, the role comes with full health, dental, and vision coverage, generous paid time off, and the tools you need already set up for remote work. The team leans on each other rather than working in isolation, and client relationships are treated as something worth protecting, not just processing.
Ready To Apply
Put together your resume and a cover letter that covers your accounting background and why this role, specifically, caught your attention. Every application is reviewed against the qualifications above, and the team will follow up directly with candidates who appear to be a strong match.
Hiring here welcomes applicants from all backgrounds and experience levels, and decisions come down to fit and qualifications rather than anything else.
If keeping a client's finances genuinely accurate — payroll, invoicing, reporting, all of it — sounds like work you'd take pride in, this is a solid place to bring that to.
