Job description

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.

Why You'll Want to Join* You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)

  • Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
  • Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
  • 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
  • This role requires availability during US business hours
  • Work inside a lean, profitable software holding company with multiple active revenue streams
  • High-ownership bookkeeping role with direct access to leadership and real impact on financial visibility

What You'll Work OnDay-to-Day Bookkeeping

  • Manage all day-to-day bookkeeping activity including recording transactions, categorizing expenses, and maintaining accurate financial records
  • Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and payment processor accounts on a regular basis
  • Ensure the chart of accounts is organized, consistent, and accurate across all entities and revenue streams
  • Process accounts payable and accounts receivable and keep all records current

QuickBooks Management

  • Own and maintain the QuickBooks environment end to end including setup, configuration, and ongoing maintenance
  • Build and manage workflows within QuickBooks that keep financial operations clean and efficient
  • Troubleshoot discrepancies, reconciliation issues, and data inconsistencies independently
  • Leverage QuickBooks features fully to automate and streamline recurring bookkeeping tasks

Reporting and Financial Visibility

  • Generate regular financial reports including profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow summaries
  • 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

Nice to Have* QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification

  • Experience bookkeeping for SaaS, software, or subscription-based businesses
  • Familiarity with multi-entity or holding company financial structures
  • Experience coordinating with international accountants or tax advisors
  • Background supporting a bootstrapped or founder-led company

How to Apply Please include:

  • Your updated resume
  • A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, describing your QuickBooks experience, and walking through how you have managed the books for a business with multiple revenue streams or entities

Only candidates who submit a Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.

If you are a QuickBooks expert who takes full ownership of financial accuracy and wants to manage the books for a growing portfolio of software products, this role gives you the autonomy and the direct impact to do your best work.
