Accounting Systems Specialist
Location: Remote (India)
About Us
We are a fast-growing Los Angeles–based accounting and advisory firm that does things differently. Our clients expect precision, responsiveness, and practical solutions — not theory, unnecessary meetings, or endless bureaucracy. Internally, we operate the same way: clarity over noise, systems over chaos, and accountability over politics.
Traditional accounting firms burn people out with long hours, mindless busywork, and a lack of meaningful responsibility. That's not how we work. You won't fill out timesheets just to prove you exist, sit in endless meetings that accomplish nothing, or get buried under mountains of meaningless paperwork.
Instead, we focus on practical accounting work, client impact, and career growth — giving you meaningful responsibility from day one, exposure to interesting businesses, and the chance to develop the skills that will make you a future leader.
As we grow, we are looking for an Accounting Systems Specialist to join our team. We're looking for someone who understands accounting fundamentals and thrives on solving system problems.
This role sits at the intersection of ecommerce operations, integrated apps, and QuickBooks Online. You'll troubleshoot sync issues, investigate discrepancies (especially in clearing accounts), support bank feed connections, and help ensure our clients data flows cleanly from platforms like Shopify and Amazon into QBO through integration tools.
We are looking for candidates who are tech-oriented, detail-obsessed, and energized by diagnosing root causes. If you enjoy following the trail, turning messy systems into reliable processes, and working in a high-performance environment, this role is a great fit.
The Role
In this role, you will:
- Troubleshoot issues in ecommerce → QBO integrations (sync errors, mapping problems, timing issues, payout alignment)
- Identify and resolve clearing account discrepancies by tracing data through systems and isolating root causes
- Validate data flows: orders → payouts → deposits → fees → taxes → journal entries
- Support QBO bank feed troubleshooting (connection failures, duplicates, missing transactions, reconnects)
- Review integration settings, mapping rules, and account selections to ensure correct posting logic
- Write clear internal documentation: issue summary, root cause, resolution steps, and prevention notes
Who You Are
You are a tech-oriented accounting professional who enjoys diagnosing systems, not just processing transactions. You have a strong understanding of how data flows between platforms and can trace discrepancies across multiple systems. You're detail-obsessed, comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by turning messy problems into documented solutions.
Why you're a good fit:
- Strong technical troubleshooting mindset
- Enjoys investigating and solving complex system problems
- Comfortable working across multiple platforms and tools
- Clear communicator who documents thoroughly
