FINANCE & OPS

Hire a Accountant.

Bookkeeping, month-end close, AR/AP, and the kind of financial hygiene that makes your CFO stop worrying.

Pre-vetted · Full-time dedicated · HR & payroll handled

Overview

What a Accountant actually does.

Accountants in our network run the ledger the way engineers run a build — reproducible, reviewed, and on a cadence. We vet for month-end discipline, reconciliation accuracy, and the judgment to flag an anomaly before the controller has to ask.


Responsibilities

  • Run day-to-day bookkeeping (AR / AP)
  • Execute month-end close and reconciliations
  • Prepare financial statements and variance notes
  • Coordinate with external tax preparers
  • Own expense categorization and vendor records

How We Vet This Role

Role-scoped, not one-size-fits-all.

Accountants work a month-end close exercise with an intentionally messy sample ledger — we grade reconciliation discipline and what they flag, not just what they fix.
