Growth Opportunity:
This role will begin as a project-based position focused on core accounting work. With strong performance and alignment, it will evolve into a full-time Accounting Manager role with department-level oversight, leadership responsibilities, and increased compensation.

Partnership & Compensation Path:
This role is ideal for an entrepreneurial accountant who wants more than just a job. If we’re a strong fit and your performance aligns with the company's vision, you will have the opportunity to become a long-term partner in the business. You will take ownership of the accounting division, lead the team, and directly influence financial and operational strategy.

Compensation will start as project-based while we assess mutual fit. If successful, your compensation structure will evolve into a mix of base salary and profit-sharing based on the company’s performance. We are looking for someone who sees this as a long-term career opportunity with leadership potential.

Ownership & Strategic Vision:
This is not just another accounting job—it’s a chance to become a core partner in building and scaling the financial engine of our business. You’ll take ownership of the accounting division, with full visibility into financial performance and a real opportunity to lead operational growth. Your leadership will directly influence company strategy and profitability, and you’ll have a voice in key decisions as we scale.

Initial Milestones & Promotion Timeline:
The role will begin with clearly defined project-based work, including:
- Cleaning up books and catching up on reconciliations
- Setting up monthly close procedures and reporting processes
- Improving A/R, A/P, and cash flow visibility

After 60–90 days of successful performance, we’ll define your transition into a full-time Accounting Manager role, with a mapped path toward increased pay, leadership responsibility, and profit-sharing.

Our Culture & Values:
We operate lean, move fast, and value people who take ownership. We expect clear communication, proactive problem-solving, and loyalty from our team. If you thrive in remote work, enjoy building systems, and want to grow something meaningful—this is for you.

Bonus Experience:
Experience supporting U.S. CPAs or preparing tax documentation (1099s, W-2s, 1065s, etc.) is a strong plus. Familiarity with U.S. business structures and audit coordination will help you grow faster into this leadership role.

Long-Term Vision:
This is a rare opportunity for someone in the Philippines to become a trusted strategic partner in a U.S.-based business. You’ll grow with us, earn with us, and lead with us.
