What we're actually looking for
We can teach bookkeeping. We can't teach these:
You use judgment. When a number looks wrong, you notice. You think through what it probably means, then ask — rather than assuming and moving on.
You communicate, proactively. You tell us where things stand before we ask. If something is delayed, confusing, or looks off, we hear it from you first. Silence is the thing that doesn't work here.
You're responsive. You check email and messages during your working hours and reply the same day. Nothing sits.
You write clearly. We're a remote, written-first team. Clear writing is most of the job.
You hit deadlines. When something is due on the 10th, it's done on the 10th. If it won't be, you say so before the date — not after.
You work without reminders. You track your own open items. When you finish, you ask for more.
You finish things completely. Including the small parts nobody would notice.
You want to grow. You're eager to learn, you take feedback well, and you want more responsibility as we grow. This role can expand in hours and scope for the right person.
Requirements

Reliable internet and a consistent weekly schedule you set and keep
On AI
We use AI daily and expect you to. Use whatever tools help you — but the output has to sound like you wrote it. If it reads like unedited AI, that's a problem. We're hiring judgment, not prompting.
How we hire
Application, a short introductory call, a paid test task, reference checks, and a final interview. We do require a successful background check prior to hiring.
Work arrangement
