Location is flexible as current team members work across the United States and Latin America, and remain in touch daily, if not hourly. It works well for us. We expect applicants to be comfortable with, and thrive in, this work-from-anywhere environment.

You should be authentic, honest, passionate about what you do, humble, a team player, a self-motivator, smart, strategic, not easily discouraged, willing to roll up your sleeves, inquisitive, and resourceful.

The successful candidate will love accounting. Everything about it.

You should hate: a messy chart of accounts, unbalanced books, and requests for payment without a supporting invoice.
