[Hiring] Book Keeper @Pavago

Role Description

We're looking for a senior-level accountant to independently manage full-cycle finance operations across our two SaaS products. This is not a training or shadow role. You will own accounts payable, accounts receivable, and tax preparation and filing from day one, working directly with the CEO and leadership team.

Key Responsibilities

• Accounts Payable & Receivable
  • Manage vendor bills and payment runs
  • Own client invoicing and subscription billing, and follow up directly on collections for past-due accounts
  • Keep AP/AR records accurate and current
• Bookkeeping & Reporting
  • Perform weekly bank and credit card reconciliations across multiple accounts
  • Close the books on a monthly schedule and deliver monthly P&L and net income figures to leadership
  • Prepare supporting schedules and variance analysis as requested
• Tax Preparation & Filing
  • Prepare and file US multi-state sales tax returns
  • Calculate and remit federal and state income tax obligations, coordinating with outside tax preparers where needed
  • Support quarterly VAT filings for our international entity
  • Maintain audit-ready documentation for all filings
• Cash & Treasury
  • Monitor account balances and execute transfers between operating and reserve accounts
  • Flag cash flow issues proactively before they become problems
• Process & Tools
  • Identify bottlenecks in existing financial workflows and propose automated solutions

Qualifications

• 5+ years of full-cycle accounting or bookkeeping experience, including direct ownership of AP and AR, not only support work
• Hands-on experience actually preparing and filing tax returns, not just reconciling or reviewing them
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP
• CPA, or actively pursuing CPA, strongly preferred
• Proficiency in Xero required; experience with Sage Intacct is a plus
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, complex formulas)
• Excellent written and spoken English, comfortable presenting numbers directly to leadership

Work Setup

• Full-time, exclusive engagement, no concurrent contracts
• Core hours are flexible, but daily overlap with US business hours is required for syncs and reporting deadlines
• Occasional early morning or late evening calls with our US-based CEO should be expected
• We use a lightweight time-tracking tool for payroll purposes only

Benefits

• Reliable, on-schedule payroll
• Fully remote, flexible day-to-day schedule
• Direct exposure to and mentorship from company leadership
• Part of a global, distributed workforce
• 10 PTOs / year
