About the Role
A U.S.-based business management and accounting firm serving clients in the entertainment industry is looking for two experienced accounting professionals to join their remote team. Both roles handle full-charge bookkeeping and day-to-day accounting operations end-to-end; one of the two positions carries an additional focus on U.S. tax preparation. This is a high-ownership role for someone who already understands accounting fundamentals and can operate independently in a fast-paced professional services environment.
Key Responsibilities
Handle full-charge bookkeeping from transaction entry through financial reporting
Record and categorize financial transactions accurately in accordance with U.S. GAAP
Perform bank and account reconciliations
Manage accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR)
Process and support payroll activities
Prepare and maintain financial statements and accounting records

Monitor outstanding receivables and follow up on open account issues
Support client bill payment and accounting-related business management activities
Work primarily in QuickBooks and the firm's internal workflow systems, including TaxDome
Follow established internal procedures while proactively communicating discrepancies, unusual transactions, or client issues to management
Requirements
Both Positions
3+ years of relevant accounting or full-charge bookkeeping experience preferred; demonstrated depth of competency matters more than years alone
Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP
Hands-on experience with: bank reconciliations, AP, AR, payroll, and financial statement preparation
Strong QuickBooks proficiency (daily operational use)
Ability to work independently with limited supervision
High attention to detail and accuracy
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Comfortable managing multiple client accounts in a fast-paced environment
Strong written and verbal English communication; proactive about flagging issues
Experience with U.S.-based companies or accounting firms is a strong plus
TaxDome experience is a plus
CPA designation is not required
Position 2 — Additional Requirements (Tax Preparation Focus)
Hands-on experience preparing U.S. tax returns
Working knowledge of U.S. taxation and basic IRS requirements
Experience supporting a U.S. CPA, tax practice, or accounting firm strongly preferred
Enrolled Agent (EA) designation is a plus but not required
Must be prepared to deepen tax knowledge under the firm's direct guidance
Ideal Candidate
You already understand accounting fundamentals and don't need to be trained on the basics — you can independently handle a bank reconciliation, manage AP/AR, and produce clean financial statements without step-by-step guidance. You're sharp, self-directed, and you flag problems before they escalate rather than waiting to be asked. You take real ownership of accuracy in your work and are comfortable serving multiple clients in a fast-moving environment. For Position 2, you bring practical exposure to U.S. tax return preparation and are ready to build on that foundation under the firm's coaching.
