Typical Responsibilities
How we vet every remote accountant, before you meet them
Seven parameters every candidate clears before being shortlisted to your firm.
What we test
Every candidate completes a comprehensive test covering US GAAP, month-end close procedures, financial statement preparation, and accrual accounting. Candidates prepare trial balance adjustments, draft journal entries for complex scenarios, and produce draft P&L and Balance Sheet outputs, applied knowledge, not theory.
What we look for
- Financial Statement Prep: P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement preparation assessed using live scenario data
- Journal Entries & Accruals: Month-end adjusting entries, prepaid amortisation, accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue tested
- GAAP Compliance: Revenue recognition (ASC 606), lease accounting (ASC 842), and depreciation method application assessed
What we test
Hands-on assessment in NetSuite, QuickBooks Online & Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, and Excel for financial reporting, trial balance review, and variance analysis. Tested on real close scenarios, not theoretical knowledge.
What we look for
- NetSuite & Sage Intacct: Journal entry posting, financial reporting, multi-entity consolidation, and period-end close assessed
- QuickBooks & Xero: Month-end close, bank feed reconciliation, financial statement export, and chart of accounts management
- Excel Financial Modelling: Pivot tables, VLOOKUP, financial model building, and variance analysis spreadsheet work tested
What we test
Written and verbal English assessed specifically for US client-facing accounting work. Candidates explain financial results in plain language, draft variance commentary, and communicate close status clearly to both partners and business-owner clients.
What we look for
- Written Clarity: Email drafting, variance explanation, and financial summary tasks assessed by our team
- Verbal Fluency: Live interview assessed for pronunciation, pace, and ability to explain financial results to clients
- US Business Norms: Familiarity with US professional tone, close urgency expectations, and client communication standards
What we test
US accounting firms run on month-end and year-end close deadlines. We assess each candidate's understanding of US close culture, remote accountability standards, and proactive communication habits, so your accountant operates like a US-based hire, not an outsourced resource.
What we look for
Genuine fit with US accounting firm rhythm: daily check-ins, written status updates, structured handoffs.
What we test
A 4-hour paid assignment on real anonymized client data, month-end close for a multi-entity client, including journal entries, accruals, and trial balance review. We grade on accuracy, timing, and clarity of working papers.
What we look for
On-time delivery, accuracy, clear documentation of decisions made, and professional output ready for partner review.
What we test
Every shortlisted candidate undergoes degree verification, full employment history validation, and a minimum of two professional reference calls, conducted by our team, not automated. Background screening is completed before we present any profile.
What we look for
- Degree Verified: B.Com or accounting degree credentials and any certifications verified directly with institutions
- 2+ Reference Calls: Live reference calls with prior employers, conducted by our staffing team, not automated
- Full Background Screen: Integrity and identity screening completed before any profile is presented to your firm
What we test
25-question written test covering US GAAP fundamentals, revenue recognition, accruals vs. cash, depreciation methods, lease accounting (ASC 842), and consolidations basics. We grade pass at 80%, not 60%.
What we look for
- Knows when GAAP applies vs. when tax-basis is acceptable
- Comfortable with multi-entity intercompany eliminations
- Reads a 10-K well enough to spot disclosure gaps
- Asks the partner before guessing on a grey area
