Bookkeeper (Accounting and Payroll)

Content Rewards pays creators for short clips they post for brand campaigns. We are a small US company (Content Rewards Inc.) with a remote team of about 40 people across many countries, hundreds of vendors and a lot of money moving every month. We are hiring one careful, organised bookkeeper to own the books, payroll, company cards and the paperwork around them. ROLE DETAILS Full-time, 40 hours a week, long-term. Pay: $2,000 to $4,300 USD a month ($12 to $25 an hour), depending on experience. You work US Eastern (EST) business hours, and you are reachable on payroll days (the 15th and the last working day of the month). You report directly to the COO, who approves every payment. Questions go to one person, and you get written answers you can work from. Shortlisted candidates record a short camera-on video introduction, do a short trial task, then have a call with the COO. WHAT YOU'LL DO Keep the books in QuickBooks Online: categorise every bank and card transaction, match receipts and invoices, and reconcile Mercury (our bank), PayPal, Wise and Whop every month. Run payroll: prepare the monthly and twice-monthly pay list for about 40 contractors and employees in many countries, check amounts against contracts, get sign-off, and prepare the transfers in Mercury and Gusto for the COO to approve. Manage company cards and expenses: issue cards, set limits, track spend and collect a receipt for every charge. Accounts payable: collect vendor invoices, check them against what was agreed, schedule payments, and chase missing receipts so nothing is paid twice or without paperwork. Accounts receivable: send client invoices, track what is paid and overdue, and follow up politely until the money arrives. Compliance paperwork: collect W-9 and W-8 forms from everyone we pay, keep them filed, and prepare the yearly 1099 list for our accountants. Month-end close: a clean P&L and balance sheet, a short note on anything unusual, and cash on hand versus upcoming bills. Keep finance records and processes organised: clear folders and file names, checklists, and a month-end routine someone else could follow. Work with our outside accountants on the yearly tax return and answer their document requests. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR At least 2 years of bookkeeping or accounting work for a US company, including real month-end closes you did yourself. Confident in QuickBooks Online. Experience with Gusto, Mercury, Wise or PayPal is a plus. You have run payroll for a team before, including contractors in several countries. Very careful with numbers and names: you check twice, you never pay from memory, and you keep a paper trail for everything. Discreet. You will see salaries, bank balances and personal details, and they stay with you. Clear written and spoken English. You can explain a number in one short sentence. A reliable computer and internet connection, and a quiet place to work. CPA or an equivalent accounting qualification preferred. Showing us clean work matters just as much.
