## Description

Our client is seeking a detail-oriented and tech-forward Senior Accounting Specialist to manage the full financial picture for a high-net-worth principal. This is a full-time, fully remote engagement. You will own day-to-day bookkeeping, monthly financial reporting, and ongoing budget tracking across personal household spending, investment portfolios, real estate holdings, and multiple business entities.

-   Identify spending trends and flag variances proactively
-   Support annual budgeting process and update rolling forecasts

Business Entity Management

-   Maintain books for LLCs and other pass-through entities with clean separation of accounts
-   Track intercompany activity and maintain supporting schedules
-   Organize records to support annual CPA tax preparation, including K-1s and categorized schedules

AI-Assisted Workflows

-   Utilize AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or AI-powered bookkeeping platforms) to automate categorization, generate financial summaries, and improve reporting efficiency
-   Proactively identify opportunities to use AI and automation to reduce manual work and improve accuracy
-   Stay current on AI-driven accounting tools and propose new workflow improvements

## Requirements

-   3–7 years of bookkeeping or accounting experience, preferably including personal/family office or high-net-worth individual engagements
-   Expert-level QuickBooks Online proficiency — chart of accounts setup, reconciliations, and custom reporting
-   Experience managing books for multiple LLCs or pass-through entities simultaneously
-   Demonstrated experience with investment and real estate accounting, including rental properties, brokerage accounts, and cost basis tracking, is a plus
-   Proven use of AI tools — ChatGPT, Claude, or AI-powered bookkeeping platforms — to improve accuracy and efficiency in practice is a plus
-   Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills for budgeting models and custom analysis
-   Excellent written communication skills; able to translate financial data into clear, concise summaries
