Careers

About you

You’ll fit into our team if you:

  • Are flexible with your time and don’t mind working some evenings (and even the odd post-midnight slot). Our clients and other team members are based in US and Canada, so being available to them is not just desired, it’s essential. We give you lots of flexibility, and expect the same in return.
  • Enjoy working with and supporting others. We’re a team. We support each other, celebrate, and even recreate together. Every member of our team is committed to helping each other so that we can provide the best service to our clients. We also have fun together. We have retreats, dinners, games and other social activities regularly throughout the year. Part of supporting each other means that we don’t judge each other. We have a mixture or Western and Pakistani values. We don’t tolerate any form of discrimination. We have people for different religious faiths and perspectives, men and women, and nationalities. All are welcome and valued.
  • Have GREAT speaking and communication skills and experience in an English-speaking environment. Most of our clients speak English as their first language. You’ll be communicating directly with clients by email as well as in person, so your English skills need to be top-notch.
  • Love technology and learning new things. We’re all geeks here in some way. Being completely virtual with clients all over the world we use technology in strange and progressive ways. We’ve put “old school” to death here - paper is a thing of the past. We want to be leading edge users of tech, and are constantly trying new tools. While you don’t need to be a tech savant, if you don’t like learning new software or think that Windows 95 was the perfect system, then you probably won’t fit in!
  • Are looking for a career not merely a job. We want you to be thinking of employment in terms of years (even decades), not months. We have opportunities for growth for all staff - you shouldn’t have to leave us to get new experience or learning.
  • Think numbers are cool. We provide accounting and bookkeeping services, so numbers are a constant thing. It’s not just about being good at math problems or additions - it’s about thinking analytically about financial data and seeing things that we need to explore more.
  • Are not satisfied until a job is done right. Our clients expect a high level of quality - and we don’t have time to fix it later, so getting things done right the first time is important. So is learning from our mistakes. You take pride in a job well done. Providing quality customer service is really at the core of our business.
  • Are a fast learner that loves new challenges. One of our core values is “Always be learning. Always be changing. Always be growing.” We’re looking for people that are hungry to learn and constantly improving and growing. That doesn’t mean that you’re always looking for the next big thing - but that you always want to better your own performance and acquire new skills. We let you take a risk - even make mistakes. But if you don’t like change, or are afraid of feedback, then you won’t be comfortable here.
  • Love meeting deadlines and can handle some pressure. Getting things done on time is essential to our business. There are lots of pressures and deadlines all throughout the month and year - it’s never ending! So procrastinators are not invited!
  • Are independent and self-motivated. This is not just because we allow for remote work, but because we want people who will do what is required to deliver what has been promised, and will learn and grow without being pushed. Self-improvement is the expectation - we can’t do that for you!
  • Are honest and open. Telling the truth is one of our core values. We tell the truth to our clients, to each other and to ourselves - even when that is uncomfortable. We expect you to be able to tell us when you’re struggling and not make up something to hide your real status. Be real!
  • Are generous. We want to change the world. We do this one person and one client at a time. We are generous with our time and resources. We want to see our clients profitable and charitable. We support causes that help people all over the world (most of them we’ll never meet). We want our team to be proud of this work, and to share those values in their personal lives as well. We look for people who are involved in the community and the world in positive ways.

We also ask our clients to come here and visit.  You can expect to meet your “boss” in real life – they’ve come on retreats with us, ate with us, played games with us, and raced gokarts with us (but we didn’t let them win!)

This is not your typical “offshore accounting team.”

Our roles and positions:

We have many roles and levels of responsibility that you can progress through.  These include:

About the job

Our bookkeepers manage the entire client accounting system from soup to nuts.  They’re part of the client’s team, having direct contact with the client on a regular basis.  Our clients trust that our bookkeepers will do things on a timely basis and get it right the first time.

As a bookkeeper you are the lifeblood of our service delivery.  When the books are wrong or not up to date the entire business (both ours and our clients’) feels the pain.  Not only are you the one with regular contact with the client, you’re the front line decision maker and see the most detail.  Your “eagle eyes” are essential to us and our clients.  Your efficiency and accuracy will be what make you stand out from others – we have high standards here!

Responsible for:

  • Managing the client’s online accounting systems (Xero or Quickbooks Online)
  • Processing incoming documents (receipts, bills, etc)
  • Coding bank statement entries
  • Reconciling bank accounts
  • Reconciling supplier statements
  • Reconciling clearing accounts
  • Processing payroll
  • Managing Accounts Payable
  • Monitoring Accounts Receivable
  • Communicating with client business owners; responding to client requests; solving problems with the help of your team
  • Drafting monthly accounting reports
  • Providing advice and thoughts on the effectiveness of the client’s accounting system

In short – you’re responsible for ensuring that the bookkeeping is up to date and complete at all times.  You’ll be working on a number of clients each month, with many of them being worked on every single week, ensuring that everything is up to date and that issues don’t go too long before being resolved.  We anticipate regular contact with clients (both email and zoom).  Our main “deliverable” will be a complete month-end close and published reports – ensuring that all accounts are properly reconciled.  Each client is also assigned an accountant who will work closely with you supervising your work and ensuring that all compliance functions (such as sales tax returns, annual accounts and tax returns) are completed on time.

We want our clients to see you (and the rest of our team) as an essential part of their business team – not like outsiders.  We want to take stress and pressure off them so that they can focus on running their business better – and the role of the bookkeeper is key to that goal.  This is not just number crunching – this is customer service with excellence.

Suggested skills and experience:

  • University degree in accounting
  • Experience in bookkeeping in other public accounting firms
  • Hands-on experience with Xero or Quickbooks Online (accounting software; certification will be expected if you’re not already)
  • Knowledge of US or Canadian business and bookkeeping issues

We provide full training and development, so if you don’t have all of these experiences, don’t worry.  We’ll start you in our training programme and gradually get you up to speed.  Your first few months will be in training and gaining experience – working closely with other members of our team.  Once you have proven your skills and aptitude you will be assigned your own clients.  Candidates who already have experience as a bookkeeper will still go through our training and mentorship program (we’re very particular about the process and how we do things around here, and sometimes have to correct bad habits you’ve picked up from others), but if you’ve got what it takes then you’ll sail through it faster.  We’re looking to develop you into a bookkeeping ninja!  Expert in the accounting tools, excellent in client service, and fast in your ability to keep things up to date.

Some of the other tools that we work with every day include:

  • Xero & Quickbooks Online (you will be expected to get certified)
  • Google Apps Workspace suite
  • Hubdoc
  • Dext
  • Payroll software (ADP, Gusto, Payment Evolution, Wagepoint)

To thrive in this role you will love the repetition of serving a stable group of clients every month, while cherishing the diversity of problem solving that comes with it.  You’ll be an independent worker that loves the feeling of getting things done and checking off tasks and deadlines.  While you’ll probably enjoy working on your own, you will also welcome the support and engagement of our wider team.  Communication and English language skills will be excellent.

About the job

Our accountants are responsible for all aspects of delivering service to their clients.  They supervise and review the work of bookkeepers, create and send management reports to clients with value-added comments, and ensure that all the compliance requirements are completed on time.  This includes Sales Tax Returns, formal Annual Accounts, Income Tax Returns, and more.

Accountants communicate directly with clients, answering questions, solving problems, and helping the clients manage and understand their accounting process.  You’re the go-to person for the client when there’s something that needs to be done outside of the day-to-day bookkeeping.  There’s a lot of routine, but also a lot of variety and we regularly get new things to do.

Responsible for:

  • Reviewing the bookkeeping results and providing feedback to bookkeepers
  • Supporting the bookkeeper and providing guidance and solving problems
  • Preparing and sending management reports to clients
  • Filing Sales Tax returns
  • Filing other returns (such as workers compensation, payroll, etc.) as needed
  • Drafting year end working papers and accounts
  • Drafting business tax returns

In short – you’re responsible for all the filings and “big picture” things for our clients.  Deadlines are your jam!  You will have a number of clients that you service regularly and will be expected to manage various deadlines and simultaneous tasks.

We want our clients to see you (and the rest of our team) as an essential part of their business team – not like outsiders.  We want to take stress and pressure off them so that they can focus on running their business better – and the role of the accountant is key to that goal.  You help them sleep better at night knowing that they won’t miss a deadline!  This is not just number crunching – this is customer service with excellence.

Suggested skills and experience:

  • University degree in accounting or finance
  • ACCA/CA/CPA License or be in the late stages of completing
  • Experience in bookkeeping in other public accounting firms
  • Hands-on experience with Xero or Quickbooks Online (accounting software; certification will be expected if you’re not already)
  • Knowledge of US or Canadian business and bookkeeping issues

We provide full training and development, so if you don’t have all of these experiences, don’t worry.  We’ll start you in our training programme and gradually get you up to speed.  Your first few months will be in training and gaining experience – working closely with other members of our team.  We expect that ALL our accounting staff would be ninja bookkeepers – you can’t review and supervise what you can’t do yourself.  We’ve found that many people who have worked as an “accountant” before don’t actually have the necessary experience or knowledge that we expect.  So we start all our accountants in our basic training programme.  If you don’t have experience in bookkeeping it may be more appropriate that you start at the bookkeeper level, master this skill, and then develop into the accountant role as you progress.  Please don’t see this as a bad thing – we have VERY high standards and are committed to developing people so that they can provide EXCELLENT service to our clients.  We’ll discuss this with you as part of the process.

Some of the other tools that we work with every day include:

  • Xero & Quickbooks Online (you will be expected to get certified)
  • Google Apps Workspace suite
  • Hubdoc
  • Dext
  • Payroll software (ADP, Gusto, Payment Evolution, Wagepoint)

To thrive in this role you will love the repetition of serving a stable group of clients every month, while cherishing the diversity of problem solving that comes with it.  You’ll be an independent worker that loves the feeling of getting things done and checking off tasks and deadlines.  While you’ll probably enjoy working on your own, you will also welcome the support and engagement of our wider team.  Communication and English language skills will be excellent.

About the job

Our executive assistants are our “chief baby sitters.”  We’re not talking about babies in nappies crawling around on the floor – they’re grown men and women, but sometimes they act like they’re crawling around on the floor.

You’ll be providing one-on-one support to our senior client management (the client Directors and Coaches).  Your work will involve managing email, calendars, scheduled tasks, random tasks, following up, reminding, nagging and sometimes even chastising them!  I won’t say that it’s an easy job – but you’ll laugh a lot (and maybe even cry every now and them) as you help your client run a successful accounting practice.  You’ll be their right hand person.

Responsible for:

  • Supporting executives with all admin tasks
  • Managing email, calendars, and tasks
  • Maintaining internal records
  • Communicating with their clients and the rest of our staff team

In short – you’re responsible for keeping your “boss” on the straight and narrow, productive and smiling (no mean feat)!  This is not your old secretary – this is business support (and a bit of baby sitting).

Suggested skills and experience:

  • University degree in business or administration
  • Experience in bookkeeping or accounting firms a plus
  • Project management experience
  • HIghly technologically literate – you dream in bits and bytes, know what Zapier is and can name three good alternatives

To thrive in this role you will love the excitement of being given a task and running with it, but will love providing regular status updates.  You’ll thrive in a dynamic and changing environment.  You’ll think in terms of systems and processes.  You’re not happy until the job is done well and someone else has taken it over.  You’ll be an independent worker that loves the feeling of getting things done and checking off tasks and deadlines.  While you’ll probably enjoy working on your own, you will also welcome the support and engagement of our wider team.  Communication and English language skills will be excellent.

About the job

Our technology specialists are our “geeks in residence” and proud of it.  We’re not thinking of people with pocket protectors and bucked teeth here – we’re thinking of business professionals excited about learning new tools, training others, and helping businesses improve their business and profitability through technology and process improvement. 

You’ll be researching new tools, creating integrations, massaging data and training others.  Some of your work is experimental – we’re always looking to know what’s in the market.  Some of your work will be direct for clients – helping implement new systems.  Some of your time will be working with our team to create better processes and integration of accounting data.

Responsible for:

  • Researching and evaluating new tools and automations
  • Creating processes and procedures for technology products and integrations
  • Managing planning and integration of products
  • Training our staff and clients
  • Providing front-line support where needed

In short – you’re responsible for keeping us and our clients on the bleeding edge of technology.  You’ll add value directly to clients as well as to our team.  This is not tech support – this is business improvement.
