Keep the day-to-day accounting of a US business clean, current and easy to review. The work is detail-heavy and important to the health of the business.

Remote · Latin America · $1,800-$2,800 USD/month · Full-time · Independent Contractor · Monday to Friday · Overlap with EST working hours

Why this role exists

Our client is a US-based business that needs a dependable bookkeeper to keep the numbers accurate: reconciliations, transaction coding, record maintenance and support for month-end close. It is a good fit for someone who likes clean books, steady process, and catching errors before they become bigger problems.

What you'll own

• The general ledger, with daily financial transactions posted correctly
• Accounts payable and accounts receivable follow-up
• Bank, credit card and key balance sheet reconciliations, on schedule
• Transaction review for accuracy, supporting documentation and coding consistency
• Reports and close support materials for leadership or the external accountant
• Vendor records, internal files and audit trails, kept organized

Why this is interesting

• You own the routine bookkeeping end to end, not pieces of it
• Your work directly supports the health of the business
• Leadership relies on your numbers to answer financial questions

What we're looking for

• Prior bookkeeping experience for a US business, accounting firm or multi-entity environment
• Comfortable working inside QuickBooks, without guessing
• You notice mismatches, missing support and duplicate entries quickly
• Organized enough to keep recurring tasks on schedule every month
• English C1, written and spoken. Strong enough to ask good follow-up questions and explain bookkeeping issues clearly

Bonus

• Multi-entity bookkeeping
• Supporting e-commerce or service businesses
• Bill.com, Gusto or related finance tools

What success looks like

First 90 days

The chart of accounts, reconciliations and recurring tasks are under control instead of being pieced together at month-end. You know where the common bookkeeping breaks happen in this business and catch them early, and leadership can ask basic financial questions without waiting for a scramble to clean up the books first.

Ongoing

The books stay current and review-ready. Month-end is less painful because transactions are coded correctly throughout the month, and the team spends less time fixing mistakes and more time using the numbers.
