As demand continues to grow, we’re looking to bring on a sharp and experienced Remote SaaS Bookkeeper to help us manage the monthly bookkeeping for fast-growing startups.
About the Role:
We’re hiring a detail-oriented Remote SaaS Bookkeeper with strong accrual accounting experience to manage day-to-day bookkeeping and monthly close for a subscription-based software business. This role requires comfort with SaaS-specific accounting areas like deferred revenue, revenue recognition, prepaid expenses, and month-end accruals, plus the ability to produce clean, reliable financials on a consistent schedule.
Key Responsibilities
• Maintain accurate books on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP best practices
• Perform monthly close including bank and credit card reconciliations
• Record and reconcile subscription revenue, including:
• Deferred revenue schedules
• Monthly revenue recognition entries
• Refunds, credits, and churn adjustments
• Track and book accruals and prepaids (software tools, contractors, insurance, etc.)
• Categorize and reconcile expenses across operating accounts and payment platforms
• Assist with accounts payable and vendor management as needed
• Support accounts receivable workflows, including invoicing and collections (if applicable)
• Maintain a clean chart of accounts and accurate class/location/project tracking (if used)
• Prepare or support monthly reporting including:
• Profit & Loss
• Balance Sheet
• Cash Flow summary
• Collaborate with leadership and external tax/CPA partners for year-end readiness
• Document processes and maintain organized financial files (statements, receipts, contracts)
SaaS-Specific Experience Needed
You should be comfortable with:
• Accrual accounting vs. cash accounting
• Deferred revenue and subscription billing concepts
• Basic revenue recognition timing (monthly/annual plans, implementation fees, upgrades/downgrades)
• Matching principle, month-end accruals, and clean cutoffs
• Understanding key SaaS revenue streams and payment processors (Stripe preferred)
Required Qualifications
• 5+ years of bookkeeping experience, ideally for SaaS or subscription businesses
• Strong working knowledge of accrual accounting and monthly close best practices
• Experience with at least one major accounting system such as QuickBooks Online (preferred)
• Experience reconciling bank/credit card accounts and maintaining clean ledgers
• Strong attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines consistently
• Reliable communication and ability to work independently in a remote environment
Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)
• Experience with Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, or other subscription billing tools
• Experience with SaaS metrics reporting (MRR, ARR, churn, CAC)
• Prior support for CFO/controller-level reporting needs
• Familiarity with 1099 tracking and contractor workflows
• Experience supporting audits or investor reporting packages
What Success Looks Like
• Month-end close completed accurately and on time
• Books are consistently reconciled with minimal cleanup required
• Deferred revenue and revenue recognition are tracked correctly
• Financial statements are reliable and ready for decision-making and tax support
Job Types: Part-time, Contract
Pay: $17.00 - $20.00 per hour
