About the role

We're looking for a Bookkeeper with deep QuickBooks expertise to own the books for a fast-moving, fully remote software holding company operating across multiple products and revenue streams. You will manage day-to-day bookkeeping, reconciliations, reporting, and financial record-keeping with minimal oversight and maximum accuracy.

This is a high-ownership, execution-driven role. You will not be given detailed instructions on how to manage the books - you are expected to know QuickBooks inside and out, set up and maintain clean financial records independently, and surface the right information to leadership without being asked. If you are a strong bookkeeper who lives in QuickBooks, takes full ownership of financial accuracy, and can operate reliably in a fully async remote environment, this role is a strong fit.

QuickBooks Management

Surface key financial insights and flag anomalies or issues to leadership proactively

Maintain organized financial records that are audit-ready at all times

Support month-end and year-end close processes accurately and on time

Coordination and Compliance Support

Coordinate with external accountants or tax advisors as needed to support filings and compliance requirements

Maintain clean documentation of all financial activity for internal and external reference

Support ad hoc financial requests from leadership with speed and accuracy

What You Bring

Deep, hands-on QuickBooks proficiency - you know the platform thoroughly and can set it up, manage it, and troubleshoot it independently

Proven bookkeeping experience managing full-cycle books for a business with multiple revenue streams

Strong reconciliation skills with a zero-tolerance approach to inaccuracies

Ability to work fully independently in a remote environment without requiring close supervision

Highly organized with strong attention to detail and consistent follow-through

Clear written English communication skills for coordinating with leadership and external advisors

Reliable and discreet when handling sensitive financial information

Available to work full-time during US business hours
