Location: Remote, based in South America (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, or Uruguay)
Reports to: CEO / Founder
Employment type: Independent contractor
Compensation: USD $2,500 – $3,500 per month, net (final offer based on experience and role fit)

About the role
- There are a lot of words here, on purpose.
- Our goal is a "no surprises" job outlook: what we know is true about the role, what we're looking for, and what a day looks like.
- If you're just looking for a job, this isn't it. If you want a journey and meaningful work, read on.
Who we are
- Multiply Advisors is a technology-enabled tax and accounting firm that gives small business owners financial clarity and confidence.
- We turn numbers into a vision and build high-trust relationships while we do it.
- We're pretty fun, relatively smart, and somewhat sharp.
This role
- Hands-on, manager-level accounting. You do the work yourself at the level of an experienced accounting manager.
- No people management. You won't manage anyone.
- Our five accounting analysts already work at a high level. You'll handle complex files and work closely with the team and the founder.
- The founder gets pulled into complex accounting issues and advisory projects that need layers of diligence. That's where you come in.
- Your job is to make sure your work meets the Multiply standard of Certainty, Confidence, and Clarity before it reaches a client or the founder.
- You come back with a well-reasoned answer and a recommendation, not "what do you want to do?"
The four things this role owns
- Own your work product: every deliverable meets the Multiply standard before it ships.
- Handle complex accounting: multi-entity, equity and basis, revenue recognition, cleanups.
- Be a trusted partner: share knowledge with analysts and Client Advisors. No people management.
- Be the client-facing expert: sit in client meetings and lead monthly P&L reviews.
What you'll do
Technical accounting and quality
- Give a final quality check to financial statements, reconciliations, and reporting for your files.
- Resolve complex issues with a clear, documented point of view.
- Bring the founder a few options, the tradeoffs, and a recommendation when needed.
- Help build QC steps that keep accuracy consistent.
Client delivery and advisory
- Take client meetings directly.
- Work on FP&A and forecasting as opportunities come up.
- Lead monthly P&L review videos, turning numbers into a story the client can act on.
- Add diligence to advisory projects so they're client-ready.
- Partner with Client Advisors on budgets, forecasts, and tax-strategy inputs.
Team collaboration
- Share technical knowledge through working sessions, documented examples, and answers to questions.
- Join daily syncs and weekly collaboration meetings.
Financial reporting and close
- Help close client books accurately and on time, by the 15th or the FS delivery date set for each client.
- Review financial statements for accuracy and US GAAP compliance.
- Run variance analysis and build custom reporting.
Multiply Accounting Standards
- Help document and refine our accounting playbook with the founder.
- Keep it updated as best practices and regulations change.
Light tax partnership (as interested)
- Support internal tax checklists, schedules, and clean records.
- The founder leads tax strategy. You don't need to be a tax expert, but tax curiosity is a real plus.
Who you are
- Curious: you dig in when the numbers don't align.
- Ownership mindset: you own the outcome, not just the task.
- Driven by precision: you take pride in meticulous work.
- Problem-solver: gaps are a chance to build a better system.
- Proactive: you ask, share your thinking, and move.
- Adaptable: you flex to new tools and rules without loosening accuracy.
- Collaborative: you partner tightly with Client Advisors and the firm.
- Calm under pressure: you hold quality steady when the clock is loud.
What you bring
- 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including time as an accounting manager or senior accountant. You're happy to keep doing the work hands-on.
- 5+ years of hands-on US accounting experience with US-based clients or organizations. Non-negotiable.
- Deep, current US GAAP knowledge and the judgment to apply it to messy, real-world situations.
- A track record with complex accounting: multi-entity, equity/basis, cleanups.
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field. CPA strongly preferred. A local professional accounting license (such as CPC in Brazil or Contador Público elsewhere) or CMA/EA is a meaningful plus.
- Fluency in QuickBooks Online, Xero, Kick, and a tax tool like ProConnect. Comfort with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, SharePoint, ClickUp, Keeper, Reach Reporting, Vinyl, Missive, and Loom.
- Fluent English, written and spoken, for a fully remote setting. Our team and clients work in English.
- Comfortable on camera and in front of clients.
- High ethics and professional integrity.
Nice to have
- Tax knowledge or US return preparation experience
- CPA or equivalent certification
- Master's in accounting or finance
- Experience at a US firm or a fast-moving startup
Four things that tell us you'll fit right in
- You can handle a tough conversation and still leave the client smiling.
- You treat every client file like it has your name on it.
- You're a productivity nerd, ready to debate spreadsheets vs. the newest app.
- You have strong opinions on asado vs. churrasco, or arepas vs. empanadas!
Skills: US GAAP, complex accounting, multi-entity consolidation, equity and basis, financial statements, reconciliations, monthly close, variance analysis, FP&A, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Kick, ProConnect, client advisory, P&L review
