Job Description

Full-Time | Remote | Colombia | U.S.-Based Technology Company

An established U.S.-based technology company is seeking an experienced Senior Accounting Specialist to support and help own day-to-day accounting operations.

This is a hands-on role covering Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, QuickBooks Online, bank and credit-card reconciliations, customer billing portals, collections, expense documentation, and month-end accounting support.

We are looking for someone who understands accounting, takes ownership, investigates discrepancies, follows through on outstanding issues, and helps ensure that financial records remain accurate and current.

Accounts Receivable & Customer Billing
A major part of this position will involve managing the customer billing process from invoice creation through payment. Responsibilities include creating and sending customer invoices using our in-house custom invoicing platform, uploading invoices into customer procurement and billing portals, working with SAP Ariba, Coupa, and similar customer systems, matching invoices to customer purchase orders, verifying PO numbers and required documentation, monitoring invoice acceptance and payment status, and resolving rejected invoices.

The role will also maintain accurate Accounts Receivable aging, apply customer payments correctly in QuickBooks, investigate unapplied cash, short payments, credits, and payment discrepancies, follow up with customers regarding overdue balances, assist with collection efforts and delinquent accounts, respond to customer billing questions, and maintain organized billing records.
The successful candidate should be comfortable communicating directly with customers regarding payment status and outstanding invoices.

Accounts Payable
The position will also support and help maintain Accounts Payable processes, including entering and reviewing vendor bills, matching invoices to purchase orders or supporting documentation, verifying vendor details and invoice accuracy, categorizing expenses correctly, maintaining vendor records, reconciling vendor statements, maintaining AP aging, monitoring payment due dates, preparing bills for payment approval, identifying duplicate or unusual invoices, resolving vendor billing discrepancies, and assisting with payment scheduling and cash planning.

Bookkeeping & Reconciliations
Responsibilities will include reconciling company bank accounts and corporate credit-card accounts, reviewing and categorizing bank and credit-card transactions, ensuring credit-card payments and transfers are recorded correctly, identifying duplicate or missing transactions, reviewing transactions for proper Chart of Accounts classification, attaching receipts and supporting documentation, reviewing employee expense reports, following up regarding missing receipts, investigating reconciliation differences, recommending accounting corrections, maintaining clean QuickBooks records, and assisting with month-end close.

We are not looking for someone who simply enters transactions. We want someone who can identify when something does not look correct, investigate the issue, and help resolve it.

Month-End & Accounting Support
The Senior Accounting Specialist will assist with completing bank and credit-card reconciliations, reviewing AR and AP aging, identifying incorrectly applied customer payments, reviewing uncategorized or unusual transactions, identifying missing expense documentation, reviewing balance-sheet accounts for discrepancies, assisting with journal entries where appropriate, identifying prepaid expenses and accruals, preparing schedules for management or outside accountants, and helping ensure the books are ready for month-end and year-end review.

Required Qualifications
Candidates should have at least 4 years of professional accounting, bookkeeping, AR, or AP experience; strong QuickBooks Online experience; strong Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable experience; experience managing customer invoicing and collections; bank and credit-card reconciliation experience; a strong understanding of debits, credits, and general accounting principles; experience with month-end accounting processes; strong Excel or Google Sheets skills; excellent written and spoken English; strong attention to detail; and the ability to work independently and follow issues through to resolution.

Strongly Preferred
Previous experience working for a U.S. company, experience supporting U.S. accounting operations, SAP Ariba experience, Coupa experience, experience with other enterprise customer invoicing or supplier portals, experience managing delinquent customer accounts and collections, experience working with customers requiring purchase orders, month-end close experience, a university degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related discipline, QuickBooks Online certification, and experience with U.S. GAAP or U.S.-based accounting practices.

Schedule
This is a full-time remote position based in Colombia. The typical schedule is approximately 9:00 AM–5:00 PM Colombia time, Monday through Friday.

Compensation
COP 6,500,000–7,500,000 per month, depending on experience and qualifications. Candidates with significant U.S. accounting experience, strong QuickBooks knowledge, and direct experience with SAP Ariba, Coupa, and enterprise customer billing will be at the top of this range.
This is intended to be a stable, long-term position with growth opportunities working directly with a U.S.-based company.",
