[Remote] Senior Staff Accountant

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Fullridge Advisors is a boutique financial advisory firm, and they are seeking a Senior Staff Accountant on a 1099 independent contractor basis. The role involves owning recurring accounting and monthly close deliverables across a portfolio of client engagements, ensuring accurate financials and maintaining the general ledger.

Responsibilities

• Own the monthly close across multiple clients: journal entries, accruals, prepaids, and account reconciliations
• Maintain the general ledger and ensure books are accurate, tie out, and are close-ready on a predictable cadence
• Prepare GAAP-aligned financial statements and supporting schedules
• Manage AP/AR, bank and credit card reconciliations, and intercompany entries as needed
• Support cash-to-accrual conversion and accrual-basis bookkeeping
• Handle e-commerce accounting workflows: Shopify/Amazon sales reconciliation, inventory and COGS entries, and payment-processor tie-outs
• Communicate directly with client stakeholders and flag issues before they become close-cycle problems
• Deliver clean, review-ready work with minimal supervision

Skills

• 2–3 years of hands-on accounting experience (staff accountant, bookkeeper-to-financials, or similar)
• Solid command of GAAP and accrual-basis accounting; comfortable owning a monthly close end to end
• Strong reconciliation discipline and attention to detail
• Proficiency in Excel and accounting systems (QuickBooks Online and/or similar); e-commerce/Shopify and inventory data experience a plus
• A self-directed operator who manages their own time, ramps quickly on unfamiliar client systems, and delivers to deadline without day-to-day direction
• A bachelor's degree is required
• Prior experience as a 1099 contractor, subcontractor, or in a similar independent capacity is strongly preferred
• Operating as an established independent contractor; your own business entity is preferred

Benefits

• You set your own schedule and work location (within the US).
