Subject line:  Accountant Application

We are specifically looking for someone with hands-on experience  doing accounting/bookkeeping for US entities . Please do not apply if your experience is primarily Indian accounting (Tally/GST/etc.) without significant US accounting experience.

-------------------------------------------
- Location:

Ahmedabad (remote to start)

Experience:

3–8 years

Employment type:

Full-time

Shift:  1:30 PM – 10:30 PM IST (Mon–Fri), giving daily overlap with US Pacific business hours
CTC:  ₹7,00,000 – ₹10,00,000 per annum, commensurate with US accounting experience

About the Role
We're a small, founder-led group of related companies based in the USA. We're looking for an experienced accountant to take genuine ownership of the books across those entities — not just process transactions, but maintain a clean, defensible set of records that stands up to a CPA’s review and a tax filing.
You will be the finance function. There is no one above you doing the work — we need someone who catches problems before we do and tells us about them.
As entity count and transaction volume increase, so does the scope — including standardizing processes across companies and eventually building and overseeing a small team. We're hiring for the long term, not for a gap.

What You'll Own
Full-cycle bookkeeping across multiple related entities — AP, AR, bank and credit-card reconciliations
Intercompany transactions:  recording transfers, maintaining due-to / due-from balances between entities, and keeping both sides reconciled and documented
Bill pay execution through our approval workflow (you prepare and code; the founder approves and releases)
Receivables tracking and follow-up on ageing
Month-end close and financial statement preparation for each entity
Flagging what looks wrong — mis-codings, missing documentation, balances that don't tie — rather than just closing the month
Coordinating with our US CPA at close and at year-end
Over time: writing SOPs, standardizing the chart of accounts across entities, and training junior support
What We're Looking For
Essential
3+ years doing bookkeeping or accounting for  US-based clients or entities  — this is the primary requirement
Hands-on  Quick Books Online  experience (not just Tally)
Working knowledge of  US GAAP  and US small-business accounting practice

Experience with  multi-entity or group structures  — you've maintained intercompany balances before and can explain how
CA, CA Inter (semi-qualified), CMA, or

B.Com/M.Com with equivalent practical experience —  we care more about your US client experience than your credential
Genuinely self-directed; comfortable owning the close calendar without being chased
Clear written English — most of our communication is asynchronous
Nice to have
Prior experience at a US-focused accounting KPO or outsourcing firm
, Ramp, Gusto, or similar workflow tools
Payroll experience
US: 1099 preparation, sales tax nexus, S-corp / partnership basics
Familiarity with agency/marketing services, financial services, or real-estate holding entities
What's on Offer
₹7,00,000 – ₹10,00,000 PA, reviewed as scope grows
Direct access to the founder — no layers, no bureaucracy
Real growth path: this role expands into a senior finance position with team responsibility as the group grows
Fully remote to start, then Hybrid from Ahmedabad

How to Apply

We receive a high volume of applications and want to spend our time on people who are actually a fit.  Instead of a cover letter, please answer both questions below.
1.  You're handling the books for three related companies and notice a $12,000 expense was booked under the wrong company. Walk us through how you'd fix it, and what you'd put in place to prevent it from happening again.
2.  Briefly describe one thing about US accounting practice that differs from Indian practice and that you had to learn on the job.
3–5 sentences each is plenty.
Email your answers with your CV to    with the subject line  Accountant Application .
Applications without answers to both questions, or without the subject line code, will not be reviewed.
