The Role
We’re looking for a QuickBooks Online (QBO) Specialist to help us tighten our month‑end close, invoicing, AR/AP workflows, and ongoing QBO hygiene. You’ll partner with our VP of Finance to accelerate the close and keep our books investor‑ready.
What You'll Do

• Month‑end close in QBO: bank/AMEX reconciliations, accruals/deferrals, vendor bill review, journal entries, variance checks.
• Invoicing support: ensure invoice detail accuracy; investigate discrepancies with contracts/pricing.
• AR/AP management: aging reviews, collections follow‑ups, vendor payments scheduling, vendor data upkeep.
• QBO hygiene & cleanup: chart‑of‑accounts consistency, class/location use, attachment policies, rules, and memos.
• Process automation: propose/implement lightweight automations in QBO/Sheets; comfort collaborating with AI agents for recurring tasks.

• 3+ years hands‑on bookkeeping/accounting in QuickBooks Online (US instance).

• English proficiency (written/spoken) to coordinate with US‑based leaders.
• Solid Excel/Google Sheets skills.

Hours and Collaboration

• ~15–20 hours/week to start (flexible); ability to flex up around month‑end.
• Workable overlap with Mexico City and some US business hours.

Compensation

• Competitive hourly contractor rate (paid in MXN). Please include your expected range.
