Certified Public Accountant – Bookkeeping & Accounting Support Location: Fully remote (open to candidates outside the U.S.) | Employment Type: Full-time
Position Summary
Seeking an advanced bookkeeper with a teaching background and strong client-facing presence to support the day-to-day accounting operations of our small and medium-sized business clients.
This role owns core bookkeeping functions — reconciliations, payroll support, accounts payable/receivable, financial reporting, and month-end close — for a portfolio of clients, while serving as a confident, camera-comfortable point of contact who can explain financial concepts clearly and directly to clients.
Required Qualifications (Primary)
Advanced bookkeeper: Proven, independent bookkeeping expertise — not junior or entry-level — able to own a client's books end-to-end across a portfolio of accounts.
Client-facing teaching ability: Experience teaching or explaining finance/accounting concepts directly to clients, not just internally to a team.
Teaching background first, finance/accounting second: A degree or credential in education/teaching, with finance or accounting as the secondary field of study.
Speaking and presentation skills: Comfortable presenting financial data and reports clearly to a non-technical audience.
Educational background in accounting: Formal accounting education or coursework underpinning the technical bookkeeping work.
Client-facing comfort: Fully comfortable on video calls and camera-facing client interactions as a regular, expected part of the role — not an occasional exception.
