Philippines Manila Recruitment Full time

Founded in 2020, this Toronto-based business consulting firm provides outsourced accounting, CFO services, and capital financing support to startups and growing companies. The client partners with a finance team that bridges the gap between basic bookkeeping and a full in-house finance department—offering day-to-day financial management, strategic planning, and fundraising support across Series A to Series C stages. This enables the client to focus on scaling their business while improving financial performance and managing risks effectively.

Overall purpose and responsibilities of the role:

We are seeking a Senior Accountant based in the Philippines to act as a critical bridge between our local bookkeeping team and our Canadian senior accounting team. The successful candidate will oversee and review the work of junior bookkeepers, ensure clean and complete month-end packages, and help uphold the quality and consistency of our deliverables. This role will also take ownership of tracking and managing month-end close timelines across multiple client portfolios, ensuring all deadlines are met and proactively escalating any risks to delivery.

Requirements

Must-have Skills / Qualification:

  • 3–5+ years of full-cycle accounting experience, ideally across multiple clients.
  • Hands-on proficiency in QuickBooks Online (required) and/or Xero.
  • Working knowledge of US GAAP (preferred) or Canadian ASPE.
  • Demonstrated ability to meet deadlines and manage accountability across teams.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
  • Excellent attention to detail and technical accuracy.
  • Clear and professional communication skills in English (written and spoken).
  • Comfortable working across time zones and in fully remote teams.
  • No degree or CPA required, but technical competence and a proactive work ethic are essential.

Advantageous:

  • Experience in a multi-client, outsourced accounting or BPO environment
  • Prior experience working with North American clients
  • Familiarity with common SaaS tools (e.g., Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Karbon, etc.)

Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Lead the preparation and finalization of month-end close packages, ensuring reconciliations, accruals, classifications, and cut-offs are accurate and complete for audit readiness.
  • Take ownership of the monthly close calendar, proactively managing timelines and tracking deliverables across ~20–30 client portfolios.
  • Monitor deadlines and drive accountability across the bookkeeping team, ensuring timely, high-quality submissions.
  • Communicate effectively with internal teams in the Philippines, China, and Canada, and directly with clients via Slack to resolve issues and streamline workflows.
  • Coach and guide junior bookkeepers to strengthen their technical accuracy, consistency, and ownership.
  • Maintain clean, well-structured financial documentation and file systems, following established naming conventions and supporting audit and internal clarity.
  • Lead and contribute to process improvements and training initiatives, including adoption of new accounting and workflow tools.
  • Occasionally assist with ad hoc financial analysis and reporting as needed.
