About Montgomery CPA
Montgomery CPA, LLC is an established U.S. Certified Public Accounting firm headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with more than 30 years of experience serving individuals and businesses.
Our firm has successfully worked with accounting professionals in India for approximately 20 years. Our India-based team is an integral part of our operations, working directly with U.S. accounting professionals, management, and clients.
We are seeking an experienced Senior CAS Accountant to join our growing Client Accounting Services (CAS) department.
Our CAS department provides ongoing accounting, bookkeeping, financial reporting, and compliance services to U.S. business clients.
This is a permanent, full-time, year-round position—not a seasonal or temporary accounting job. Our clients require accounting services throughout the year, and we are seeking a professional interested in building a long-term career with our firm.
This is not an entry-level position. Applicants must already have substantial, recent, hands-on experience using QuickBooks Online to provide accounting services for U.S. businesses through a U.S. CPA firm or U.S. accounting services firm.
Mandatory Minimum Qualifications
ALL of the following requirements must be met to qualify for consideration:

2. Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com), Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) with an accounting or finance specialization, or equivalent recognized bachelor's degree in accounting, commerce, or finance. Three-year and four-year recognized Indian bachelor's degrees are acceptable.
3. Demonstrated experience independently maintaining U.S. business accounting records in QuickBooks Online.
4. Hands-on experience performing monthly bookkeeping, bank and credit card reconciliations, and month-end closing procedures.
5. Experience preparing and issuing accurate, timely financial statements, including balance sheets and profit and loss statements.
6. Working knowledge of U.S. accounting principles and accrual-basis and cash-basis accounting.
7. Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
8. Ability to work the required split-shift schedule, including three evening hours in India to collaborate directly with our U.S. team.
IMPORTANT: Candidates without at least three years of recent QuickBooks Online experience providing accounting services to U.S. businesses through a U.S. CPA or accounting services firm should not apply.
