• Perform accrual accounting adjustments and maintain accurate financial records.

• Track project costs including labor, materials, and job-specific expenses to ensure accurate job costing.

• Identify missing, prepaid, or misclassified expenses and correct discrepancies.

• Manage sales tax filing and compliance for U.S.-based clients.

• Troubleshoot integration issues between CRM systems, billing systems, and accounting platforms.

• Prepare monthly financial statements including variance analysis and performance insights.

• Provide commentary on financial trends and key performance indicators.

• Maintain professional communication with clients via email and occasional virtual meetings.

• Assist with client onboarding, including reviewing historical financial records and correcting accounting discrepancies.

• Maintain organized documentation and financial records that can withstand audit review.

• Support clients during audit preparation and documentation review.

• Ensure accounting processes follow best practices and remain compliant with financial standards.

• 5+ years of professional accounting experience, preferably in a public accounting or outsourced accounting environment.

• Strong expertise in accrual-based accounting.

• Experience managing multiple clients simultaneously.

• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP.

• Advanced Excel proficiency (pivot tables, formulas, financial analysis).

• Experience preparing monthly financial reporting and variance analysis.

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

• Ability to work independently and proactively identify issues in financial data.

• Experience with U.S. sales tax filing and compliance.

• Background working with home services or job-costing industries (e.g., plumbing, HVAC, construction).

• CPA certification or equivalent professional accounting qualification.

• Previous experience supporting financial audits or audit preparation.
