[Hiring] Senior Bookkeeper @Hire Overseas

3d ago - Hire Overseas is hiring a remote Senior Bookkeeper. πŸ’Έ Salary: unspecified πŸ“Location: South Africa

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Bookkeeper to manage the books for approximately 10 related entities across a family holding company with interests in real estate, sports services, food retail, and private investments. You will work closely with the managing partner and outside accountants to keep every entity's records accurate, current, and reporting-ready.

This is a high-trust, high-ownership role. You will be the person who knows where every dollar is across a portfolio of related companies, keeps the intercompany activity clean, and makes sure the financial statements are ready when lenders and accountants need them. If you have multi-entity bookkeeping experience, are advanced in QuickBooks Online, and take genuine pride in keeping complex books without errors or delays, this role is a strong fit.

Qualifications

  • 3 to 5 or more years of bookkeeping experience managing books for multiple related companies simultaneously
  • Real estate bookkeeping experience strongly preferred, including rent, loans, and property expenses
  • Advanced QuickBooks Online proficiency β€” this is the primary tool for this role
  • Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills for financial schedules, reports, and reconciliations
  • Comfortable learning new software tools including internal portfolio dashboards
  • Detail-oriented with the ability to manage deadlines and competing priorities across many entities without dropping anything
  • Discreet and trustworthy with confidential financial and family information

Requirements

  • Manage invoices, accounts payable, and accounts receivable across approximately 10 related entities
  • Record all transactions in QuickBooks Online and an internal portfolio dashboard including intercompany transactions between related companies
  • Verify payables and prepare payments for the managing partner's final approval
  • Process recurring bills including property taxes, loan payments, and vendor invoices
  • Reconcile all bank, credit card, and loan accounts each month
  • Complete the month-end close for every entity accurately and on time
  • Bring the 2025 books current across all entities as a near-term priority
  • Maintain schedules of loan balances and payments, and of intercompany balances across the portfolio
  • Record investment activity across the portfolio
  • Track each owner's capital in and out of the companies accurately and completely
  • Maintain clear records of what each entity owes and is owed
  • Prepare weekly, monthly, and quarterly financial reports for each individual entity and on a combined basis
  • Prepare the quarterly financial statements required by lenders
  • Reconcile the internal dashboard to the books each quarter and resolve any discrepancies
  • Prepare year-end packages and 1099s to support the outside accountants during tax preparation
  • Maintain organized records throughout the year so year-end is not a scramble

Benefits

  • You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
  • Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy
  • Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
  • 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
  • This role requires availability during US business hours
  • Work directly with the managing partner of a diversified family holding company with real operational complexity
  • High-ownership bookkeeping role with direct visibility into a multi-entity investment portfolio

Please include:

  • Your updated resume
  • A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) introducing yourself, describing your multi-entity bookkeeping experience, and walking through how you manage the month-end close across multiple entities simultaneously

Only candidates who submit a Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.
