Responsibilities
This role has variety at its core. From facilitating client meetings to reconciling accounts, no day will be a "typical day" (hence the typical, atypical day)
You will be supporting our startup clients who need accounting help but may not have a need for an internal team at their growth stage (usually, we work with Seed through Series C clients). So, there is always a lot of work to be done!
You will be working in a fully remote capacity! So, whether you're in pajama pants and a button-down or taking calls at the coffee shop down the street, you design where and how you work each day. The only time you would be expected to be in proper work attire is when we are taking video calls with our clients and want to be a proper representation of our firm
You’ll be working with a variety of clients, so the ability to context shift, communicate, prioritize, and evaluate needs is the most important thing you’ll be doing in this role
You’ll have the opportunity to build robust accounting processes and systems for our clients. So understanding + embracing the agile and scrappy nature of startups is pretty much a must
You are naturally curious and a problem-solver. You’re someone who likes to learn and is eager to take on new challenges, especially when it comes to cutting-edge technology and emerging industries
You are a communicator at your core. Bonus points if you have customer or client service experience!
You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. If you have startup experience, that's a huge plus!
You take the initiative and jump at the opportunity to explore new ways of doing things
You are an expert collaborator! You ask for and give feedback regularly
Strong interpersonal skills
Focus on the quality of work as well as client relationships
All things accounting + client management. For example, you should be able to work through client requests involving:
Bank and credit card reconciliations
General ledger account reconciliations, especially high-risk balance sheet accounts
Revenue recognition: prepaid revenue/deferred revenue/unearned revenue
Prepaid expenses
COGS, inventory, and purchase orders
Tech stacks familiarity (Ramp, Stripe, bill.com, etc.)
Processing accounts payable and accounts receivable
1099 and W9 support
Producing financial reports
Ability to review bookkeeper tasks
Producing tax-ready end-of-year reports
Strong finance-based analytical skills
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) creation for enhancing clients’ efficiency
Strong working knowledge of software and AI is key in this role. On a daily basis, you’ll be using the entire G-Suite, QuickBooks online, Bill.com, Expensify + Ramp. You’ll also be using Zoom and other video conferencing tools to facilitate client meetings
