In a fast-growing company, timely financial information is essential for management to make decisions. Last year we completed ~200 projects, so we believe the weekly workload is manageable. The key is that we don’t want entries to fall behind. 80% or 90% of entries should be reconciled each week, and whichever ones are unclear should prompt WhatsApp messages, or brief Whatsapp calls to relevant people in the company who can explain the charge. Half our company is working remote in PH, half is onsite in the US.

Roles and Responsibilities

* Prepares monthly financial statements
* Flags potential cashflow issues. We use accrual-based accounting, which can make it harder to see threats to cashflow.
* Reconciles entries at least weekly so income statement, balance sheet, and cashflow statement can guide management decisions in a timely way
* Provides support to our tax accountant during tax season, including preparing financial statements, replying to emails, and checking for errors in their data entry
* Prepares financial data for other departments. For example, marketing may want to see “Average 1st Year Revenue from New Customers” broken out by industry groups.
* Recognizes non-reoccurring expenses and flags them as opportunities to possibly capitalize one-time projects
* Tracks and prepares project-specific or department ledgers & reports when they need to be examined in detail
* Communicates with people in the company to understand the meaning of ambiguous entries
* Monthly video call with owner to review financial statements. (Usually sometime 7 – 9 am/pm, due to the time difference.) Additional meetings would be as-needed. The first week or two we will communicate more than usual while you learn about the business.
* Check the work of our AR/AP person to ensure payments reconcile properly
* Other tasks as assigned by Owner

Essential Skills / Competencies

* At least 5+ years previous experience working in a similar role
* An understanding of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
* High level of financial accounting and analytical skills
* Pro-active, with excellent attention to detail, good verbal and written communication skills and agile

This job is part-time and remote. We use Xero as our accounting software. Our US team and the owner do not speak Tagalog, so meetings and messages will be in English. Your English doesn’t have to be perfect, just clear enough for us to work.

We estimate the work will be 5 – 10 hrs/wk.

COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY to succeeding at this job. We work in a niche & developing industry, and there will inevitably be ambiguous charges that need clarification. The owner does not always have the answer to book-keeping questions. There is a group chat for the business, and expenses may need to be posted there so the relevant employee can shed light.

Another PH employee handles AR & AP. They can be a resource for answering general questions when the owner is late replying to a message.

As the company continues to grow, this job role will grow too. Keep us advised on whether you would like more hours, or if you would prefer your hours per week to stay consistent with reconfigured responsibilities. We want you to be set up to succeed.
