AG Grant is a modern, technology-driven accounting firm supporting fast-growing startups and established companies across the United States and Canada. Our clients rely on us for accurate financial reporting, operational insight, and dependable month-end close processes.
We are looking for an experienced Accountant with strong technical accounting fundamentals who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-client environment and can work independently with minimal oversight.
This is a remote position. Candidates must be located in the United States or Canada.
What You'll Be Responsible For
• Managing month-end close processes across multiple client accounts
• Preparing and reviewing financial statements
• Recording journal entries and accruals
• Performing bank and credit card reconciliations
• Managing accounts payable and accounts receivable workflows
• Monitoring client accounts and assisting with collections when necessary
• Supporting budgeting and variance analysis
• Assisting with revenue recognition and financial analysis
• Working with internal team members and external partners such as CPAs and auditors
Required Accounting Knowledge
Candidates must demonstrate solid, working knowledge of the following — not just familiarity:
• Accrual vs. cash basis accounting — including when and why each is used, and the ability to identify and question anomalies (e.g. why a commercial entity might be on cash basis)
• Core accounting equation — must be able to clearly distinguish between assets, liabilities, and equity in practical scenarios, not just define them
• Equity-side accounting — beyond basic retained earnings; experience with shareholder equity, equity structures, and equity transactions is a strong asset
• Prepaid expenses — full understanding of the journal entry flow (debit prepaid, credit cash) through amortization, including refund and reversal scenarios
• General ledger management and journal entries
• Month-end close processes
• Financial statement preparation and review — including spotting miscoding and misperioding
• Fixed assets and depreciation
• Sales tax and payroll accounting
• Budgeting and variance analysis
Experience managing books for multiple companies simultaneously is required.
Technology & Systems
Required:
• QuickBooks Online (advanced level, daily use)
• Cloud-based accounting workflows
• Financial reporting tools
Strong asset:
• Bill.com
• Ramp
• Carta
• Stripe or other payment platforms
• SaaS or startup financial operations experience
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate:
• Has strong accounting fundamentals and can explain their reasoning, not just execute tasks
• Asks the right questions when something doesn't add up — doesn't accept things as given
• Works efficiently and independently in a remote environment
• Communicates clearly and proactively with clients and team members
• Takes ownership of their work and meets deadlines consistently
• Goes beyond AP/AR — comfortable with the full accounting cycle
We value professionals who are organized, detail-oriented, and dependable.
