Senior Accountant

At System Six, we're trying to build one of the best places to work in cloud-accounting - a place where our team members are the most important part of our business and where they consistently experience joy, flexibility and rewarding compensation. We are a fast growing, modern, 100% remote organization delivering accounting, payroll, bill-pay, invoicing and sales tax filing services to hundreds of customers nationwide. 

We are actively seeking our next Senior Accountant, a joyful and driven team member responsible for day-to-day accounting and finance tasks for clients in our Enterprise division.

This position is available for individuals based in India seeking 40 hours of work per week, allowing you to balance other important parts of your life with an exciting, fulfilling career. Our talented team loves System Six and we can’t wait to show you how that energy permeates throughout our organization. 

So what are we looking for in an ideal candidate?

• Accounting and payroll experience in a multi-client environment with US-based clients. College degree required. CPA/CAS firm experience is a strong plus.
• A proficiency in cloud accounting technologies with at least 2 years running payroll, paying bills, and handling all day-to-day transactional duties with US-based clients in multiple industries (3+ years in NetSuite, SAGE, Intaact, QBO, Bill.com, Advanced Excel, Gusto or other payroll software, etc.)
• Advanced analytical skills to interpret large data into meaningful interpretation of financial reports.
• At least 2 years of experience in accounting and reporting for PE and/or VC funded portfolio companies.
• Experience in managing audits for clients is a strong plus.
• Ability to manage deadlines across multiple clients with an awareness of what needs to be prioritized
• Excellent communication skills with both clients and team members across digital channels and an innate desire to build relationships
• Humility and openness to coaching and critiques; always seeking to improve
• Keen attention to detail and obsession with making sure there is accuracy, integrity, and dependability in their work 
• Joy and a positive attitude in all communications internally and externally
• Persistence and an ability to politely remind others to stay on track

What does the day to day look like for this role?

• Working with more senior staff, you’ll handle much of the day-to-day operations for our clients (transaction entry, invoicing, bill payments, payroll preparation, journal entries, reconciliations, etc.)
• Your daily tasks will be cleanly organized in Karbon, our practice management system, a critical tool that will set you up for success managing work across multiple clients 
• While you won’t be responsible for managing client relationships, you’ll interact with clients from time to time, answering specific questions or politely seeking certain information 
• As you work, you’ll always stop to ask questions of your team when you aren’t exactly sure what needs to be done - whether inside a client’s books or another client system 

Importantly, here’s what’s in it for you:

• A joyful work environment where employees and culture are paramount. We understand that we are all humans and we want your success in your professional life to enhance your personal life
• A 100% remote environment. We've been remote for 10+ years and are set up for you to succeed remotely while working with flexibility during daytime professional hours
• Growth opportunities. We are a fast growing company on a multi-decade journey of evolution. We relish promoting from within, and will support you in your efforts to grow with System Six 

This is a full-time position employed by our India-based entity.
