**Who You Are**

You have hands-on experience in bookkeeping or accounting support — specifically handling accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, journal entries, and bank reconciliations. You are detail-oriented to a fault, you don't let transactions slip through unrecorded, and you take pride in clean, accurate books. You have worked with QuickBooks, Xero, or a similar platform and are comfortable supporting U.S.-based clients in a structured, process-driven environment.

-   Process payroll entries and support payroll reconciliation as needed.
-   Record journal entries accurately and in accordance with client SOPs.
-   Perform bank and credit card reconciliations on a regular schedule.
-   Support month-end close processes — prepare reports and flag discrepancies proactively.
-   Maintain organized financial records in QuickBooks, Xero, or similar platforms.
-   Deliver regular financial summaries and flag anomalies immediately.

## Requirements

-   Strong spoken and written English — C1 preferred.
-   3+ years in bookkeeping, accounting support, or billing — BPO or U.S.-client experience preferred and must be documented on your resume.
-   QuickBooks or Xero experience — required.
-   Your last 3 positions should reflect an average tenure of at least 1 year per role; this will be verified during the screening process.
-   High attention to detail and zero tolerance for errors.
-   Able to follow accounting SOPs, meet deadlines, and report accurately.
-   Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred.

## Benefits

-   Comprehensive compensation based on experience.
-   Immediate payroll enrollment from Day 1 — fully registered under Peruvian labor law (Régimen General).
-   100% statutory benefits — CTS, gratificaciones, vacaciones, and AFP/ONP contributions per Peruvian regulations.
-   Private health insurance — Rímac EPS coverage from the start.
-   Long-term career placement with a single dedicated U.S. client.
-   Fixed U.S. business hours — no rotating shifts.
-   Exposure to U.S. business standards, tools, and professional culture.
-   Career growth opportunities — many of our Associates grow with the same client for years.
