Accounting Assistant


Accounting Assistant is a new role here at Empire Flippers! The need for extra help due to explosive growth both internally and externally has added a mountain of work for our Finance Director – who, coincidently lives in Mountain Standard time zone. We are excited to find her the perfect fit! The person in this role will perform daily accounting tasks that will support the entire EF team and provide direct assistance for our Finance Director. The ideal candidate will be well-versed in accounting principles, be able to work comfortably with numbers, and have stellar attention to detail. Could this be you? After a six month probationary period – if it is a good fit for everyone – you will be invited to join our team officially, where you will become a fully fledged Accounting Assistant, eligible for company benefits such as unlimited vacation and worldwide healthcare coverage. Being a location-independent full time position is one of the many benefits – you’ll be free to work anywhere in the world that serves your creativity best, be it the beaches in Thailand, which does have superb 4G connectivity and cheaper cost of living, or in a mountain resort in the Swiss alps – the choice is yours. # Responsibilities When you first come on board as an Accounting Assistant, you will start learning more about our business before jumping into the job. You will be introduced to daily accounting tasks that support our Empire Flippers team and Finance Director. You will become well versed in all of our processes, from how our deposit system works all the way up to the intricacies of handling the financial transactions and wires of a business acquisition. Ultimately, you will help our Finance department run smoothly, ensuring transparency and efficiency in all transactions. You might be wondering, though … what will your daily work routine really look like once you’re up and going? Here is a list of daily tasks we’ll expect from you (though this isn’t an exhaustive list and could change): Prepare/record multiple sales and expense transactions in various software platforms. Communicate with customers regarding financial matters. Process reimbursement requests. Obtain expense documentation from staff members. Conduct banking duties to include deposit preparation, wire transfers (domestic and foreign) and crypto currency transactions. Assist team members and answer payroll-related questions from employees. Assist with foreign contractor payroll transactions and ensure all amounts and payment dates are accurate. Work with multiple US state payrolls and ensure compliance with all federal and state tax requirements and regulations. Reconcile balance sheet accounts; research and resolve debit/credit balancing issues. Assist the Finance Director with quality assurance and/or conducting audits. Check spreadsheets for accuracy. Maintain digital and physical financial records. Prepare and submit weekly/monthly reports. Assist in the processing of financial statements and other reports according to company accounting and financial guidelines. # Requirements While cultural fit is imperative, that doesn’t mean we aren’t looking for a certain kind of skill set… You must be trustworthy. Do we even need to mention it? It’s critical that our Accounting Assistant is ethical in all accounting practices. You must love numbers and have eyes like a hawk. We’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: It will be your task to make sure you understand our processes and spot any numerical discrepancies. A high degree of accuracy in quality control is key to the long-term success of our business. You have experience in QB Online and QB Desktop software. We use QB daily and it is a required skill. You have solid mastery of accounting principles with a USA-based company. This would include full understanding of Chart of Account classifications, Balance Sheets, P&< Statements, Cost of Goods Sold vs. Expenses, Journal Entry preparation and mastery of Debit and Credit reasoning. You understand our equipment requirements. You will need a PC to run QuickBook desktop software for payroll, as well as MS Office / Excel. Having secure internet access is a must too. You will be handling banking tasks, which means you will need encrypted wireless capability. You’re excited about expanding the Empire Flippers brand. We love hiring people that are passionate about their role here, as we expand the online business industry. In many ways, we really are changing lives. We want you to be on board with our mission, participate in industry conversations, and get people excited about working with us. You take ownership of customer service issues. It’s important that our buyers and sellers know that we care. You will be responsible to help customers with financial questions and give priority service. You have a dry sense of humor. To make this work, please be able to laugh. The work is serious enough. There are days you will find it challenging and often tedious. It’s okay to want to find the meaning of life through processing seemingly meaningless transactions and balancing numbers. Self-deprecating humor is an added PLUS. You love problem solving. Finally, are you someone who enjoys playing Sudoku and is good at it? Do you love solving logic problems, brain teasers too? Then please apply! You might just be the fit we need! #Salary $40,000 - $55,000 #Location - ?Worldwide
