US Accountant - Real Estate Experience (Philippines)

Location: Philippines (100% Remote)

Employment Type: Full-time Independent Contractor (exclusive commitment)

Compensation: $1,400–$2,400 USD per month (commensurate with experience and skills)

Imagine owning a clean, predictable close every month. Your checklists are sharp, reconciliations airtight, and reports deliver actionable insights to leadership. As a Philippine-based US Accountant with real estate expertise, you’ll support fast-growing US companies, brokerages, and CPA firms—turning chaos into order, and numbers into clarity.

This is a full-time independent contractor role. Exclusivity is required—no part-time or freelance engagements after hire.

You see accounting as a system: inputs tidy, flows efficient, outputs decision-ready. You’ll manage end-to-end accounting operations for real estate clients—AP/AR, payroll, month-end close, reconciliations, and reporting. Along the way, you’ll standardize workflows, implement SOPs, and help expedite client onboarding by resolving uncategorized transactions and reconciling HUDs, commissions, and balance sheets.
