Senior Bookkeeper

Senior Bookkeeper

Location: LATAM
Hours Schedule: Fully remote. Must be available live 10am to 3pm Eastern, Monday to Thursday.
Time Zone: Eastern Time (EST/EDT)

About the role
The client is a fully virtual firm supporting small businesses across the US. They are hiring a Senior Bookkeeper / Staff Accountant to own a portfolio of clients from start to finish, including complex multi-entity clients, and to review the work of other bookkeepers before it reaches the CEO.
This is not a data-entry role. You will run month-end close on your own, catch problems before anyone else sees them, and keep clients and the team informed without being asked.
What you will do
Own your clients:
Run month-end close for your portfolio, ready for final review by the 10th of each month
Reconcile bank, credit card, loan and all balance sheet accounts
Prepare journal entries, including payroll, accruals and prepaid schedules, and make sure liability accounts tie out
Manage AP, AR and 1099 work as each client requires
Be the main point of contact for your clients' bookkeeping questions and open items
Review the team's work:
Do first-pass reviews of other bookkeepers' month-end work
Give clear, written feedback and confirm fixes are made
Spot repeat mistakes and fix the process, not just the transaction
Communicate without being chased:
Send short, clear status updates before anyone asks
Raise blockers and missed dates the same day, with what you tried
Give a date when you take on work, and reset it early if it slips
Answer both email and Slack promptly
Keep the systems current:
Update ClickUp tasks and statuses the same day work happens
Log time accurately to each client in Everhour
Follow and improve our SOPs; document new workflows when you create them
Requirements
5+ years of bookkeeping or accounting experience
3+ years owning month-end close for multiple clients at the same time
Strong in QuickBooks Online and Xero (both required)
Solid accrual accounting: journal entries, accruals, payroll entries, balance sheet reconciliations
Has reviewed other people's bookkeeping work
Excellent written English: clear, short and professional
Reliable availability 10am to 3pm Eastern, Monday to Thursday
Nice to have
Accounting degree or QBO / Xero certification
Real estate, rental property or multi-entity client experience
Experience with ClickUp, Missive, Double or Everhour
Advanced Excel or Google Sheets
