Full Time Remote Accounting information

What is full time remote accounting?

A Full Time Remote Accounting job is a position where an accountant works the standard number of full-time hours (typically 35-40 hours per week) from a location outside the traditional office, often from home. These roles involve responsibilities such as managing financial records, preparing reports, processing invoices, and ensuring compliance with regulations, all through cloud-based software and virtual communication tools. Remote accountants collaborate with clients and team members online, making strong communication and self-management skills essential. This setup offers flexibility but requires reliable internet access and a secure workspace to handle sensitive financial data.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a full time remote accountant?

To excel as a Full Time Remote Accountant, you need solid knowledge of accounting principles, experience with financial reporting, and a relevant degree or CPA certification. Familiarity with accounting software such as QuickBooks, Xero, or SAP, and proficiency in spreadsheets are typically required. Strong attention to detail, time management, and effective communication skills help remote accountants manage tasks independently and collaborate with teams. These abilities ensure accurate financial management, compliance, and the smooth operation of remote accounting functions.

What are some common challenges faced in a full-time remote accounting role, and how can I overcome them?

In a full-time remote accounting position, professionals often face challenges such as maintaining clear communication with clients and team members, managing time effectively across multiple tasks, and ensuring data security when handling sensitive financial information remotely. To overcome these obstacles, it's important to utilize secure cloud-based accounting software, set regular check-ins with your team, and establish a structured daily routine. Proactively communicating through collaboration tools and staying updated on remote work best practices can help ensure accuracy and efficiency in your work.

Full Time Remote Accounting involves comprehensive financial tasks like analysis and reporting, often requiring formal credentials. Bookkeeping focuses on recording transactions and is generally less credential-dependent. Both roles can be remote, but accounting typically involves broader responsibilities within finance teams.

Job description

Vault Consulting provides top quality outsourced accounting, outsourced HR and full-service research programs to nonprofits. At Vault, core values are not just to splash on a website! We strive to find folks that not only believe in what we do but stand by our values of Flexibility, Accountability, Collaboration, Appreciation and Drive for Excellence! 

We are seeking a Supervisor with at least 4 years of experience. This position predominantly includes preparation and/or review of month-end close work, financial statement preparation, and interactions with nonprofit clients. We work hard to ensure you get the proper amount of onboarding, professional development, and continuous training you need to keep up with industry best practices. You will be bringing your expertise to our clients as a consultant, but you are a full-time, benefited employee at Vault! 

What you'll do: 

  • Provide outsourced accounting services for multiple clients, including: 
  • Begin to oversee client relationship and engagement team 
  • Monthly balance sheet reconciliation review and preparation 
  • Production and review of monthly financial statements 
  • Preparation and review of audit and 990 support schedules 
  • Communicate directly with client on engagement matters 
  • Interface with external vendors and banking/finance institutions  

Who you are: 

  • Confident communicator: You convey value clearly and demonstrate strong trust in your skills and expertise.  
  • Passionate: You strive to become a trusted advisor and team member on multiple client engagements. 
  • Detail-oriented: You have a proven track record of ensuring accuracy, consistency, and thoroughness in all tasks. 
  • Adaptable: You're comfortable thriving in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.  
  • Solutions-oriented: You have a bias for action and don't give up easily. 
  • Pro-active: You are self-motivated, consistently taking initiative and driving projects forward with minimal direction. 

Who we are: 

  • We believe in providing strong accounting, human resources services, survey research and market research to our clients to help support their missions. We take pride in what we do every day.  
  • Collaboration is not just a word at Vault - it's something we do every day.  
  • Developing our people is a top priority.  

Do we offer full-time remote work? We are open to consideration to those applicants who are not in the immediate D.C. area. So do not let location get in the way of applying. However, there would be potential expectations to come to our McLean, VA headquarters for occasional meetings and training/events. 

The Legal Stuff: 

We are an EEO employer. We do not discriminate based on any legal protected classes (federal or state) and encourage all qualified candidates to apply. We do conduct pre-employment background checks. If you ever have questions about an open position, concerns or need additional information, please reach out to careers@vaultconsulting.com. We also encourage feedback on our recruitment process. 

Requirements

    • A seasoned professional with a blend of four to six years of experience in public accounting, auditing, corporate or non-profit accounting roles 
    • Licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or license in progress preferred 
    • Not-for-profit industry experience preferred 
    • Familiarity with multiple commercial accounting software packages including Sage Intacct and QuickBooks is preferred  
    • Excellent Excel and MS Office skills 
    • Passion and commitment to providing quality client service and guidance 
    • Strong analytical/problem solving skills and attention to detail 

Benefits

As an employee at Vault, you will have the chance to be involved in engaging work while advancing the missions of the organizations we support, but also have fun while doing it. You will not only have a great benefits package, but the opportunity to learn and grow through Vault U, peer-to-peer resources and Lunch'n'Learns. In addition, for those earning a CPA, we provide you the tools and incentive to get it done! Plus we get together each year for a company retreat.
