Virtual Accounting Clerk

An invoice goes out with the wrong total. A reconciliation is off by a few dollars nobody can trace back. Small stuff —until it isn't—someone has to catch it before it compounds. We're hiring a Virtual Accounting Clerk to be that person, keeping the books accurate from home, full-time. The Basics $98,500 a year, fully remote. You'll be hands-on across bookkeeping, invoicing, reconciliations, and reporting — not boxed into just one slice of the accounting cycle. What Actually Fills Your Day Recording daily transactions and keeping general ledger accounts current, AP and AR included Generating and sending invoices, chasing down late payments, sorting out billing disputes Running regular bank and credit card reconciliations, documenting what you find Helping with payroll — hours, deductions, staying compliant with tax rules Entering and organizing financial data across whatever software the team uses Pulling together documentation when audits come around, internal or external Putting together financial summaries for management to actually use Speaking up when something's inefficient, not just doing it the same way because that's how it's always been done What Gets You Considered Education: Bachelor's degree required Experience: 3 years minimum in accounting or bookkeeping Comfortable in QuickBooks, Xero, or something similar Strong Excel skills, not just basic formulas Genuinely detail-oriented, especially with repetitive, high-volume entry work Can juggle deadlines without letting accuracy slip under pressure Can explain a financial detail to someone who doesn't work in finance without losing them Good to Have CPA certification or a formal bookkeeping credential Experience with cloud-based accounting platforms A history of catching problems early, before they turn into bigger ones Comfortable picking up new software fast when a process changes Why the Boring Parts Matter Good reconciliation work is invisible by design — nobody notices when it's done right. But a clean set of books means a business owner isn't blindsided at tax season, a vendor doesn't have to send a follow-up email about a late payment, and an audit doesn't turn into a fire drill. Naukri Mitra built this role around exactly that kind of quiet reliability — it's less glamorous than it sounds, but it's the part that actually protects a business. What You Get Fully remote, with a schedule flexible enough to support an actual life outside work Support toward certifications and continued growth in accounting Paid time off, standard holidays included A team that cares about precision without hovering over how you get there Who Tends to Do Well Not necessarily the fastest typist. More often, it's whoever double-checks their own work out of habit, catches a mismatch before anyone else even notices, and stays organized without needing someone to check in constantly. Bonus points if you notice a recurring inefficiency and just fix it instead of waiting to be told. This Role Fits You If You take real pride in clean, accurate records You're self-motivated and actually like working remotely, not just tolerating it You want steady growth in accounting, not a role that stays static forever Applying Send a resume, plus any relevant certifications and a quick note about a discrepancy or accounting problem you caught and fixed. Shortlisted candidates get a short practical exercise, then a final conversation.
