Lead Virtual Accounting Clerk
A reconciliation gets called done, but something's off by a few dollars nobody can explain yet. Somebody has to be the one who doesn't just shrug and move on. That's this job. We're hiring a Lead Virtual Accounting Clerk to run day-to-day financial operations remotely — reconciliations, invoices, month-end close, the whole cycle. The Basics $82,500 a year. Part-time or full-time, whichever actually fits your schedule — both are genuinely on the table here. What Fills the Week Reconciling bank statements and chasing down discrepancies before they turn into bigger problems Keeping invoices and payments moving so nothing backs up Managing accounts payable and receivable Helping close out the books each month and prepping financial statements Building budgets and pitching in on broader financial reporting Getting audit documentation together and keeping records lined up with accounting standards Keeping financial records clean and actually organized, not just technically complete What Gets You Considered Education: Bachelor's degree required Experience: 4 years minimum in accounting or bookkeeping Solid grip on core accounting principles, not just software fluency Comfortable in standard accounting software Real attention to detail — the kind that catches a mismatch on the second pass, not the fifth Organized enough to hit deadlines without a reminder every time Fine working independently, without someone checking in daily Communicates clearly with the rest of the finance team, not just with spreadsheets Helps If You've Got It Time already spent in a lead or senior clerk role Some background in audit prep or compliance documentation Comfortable reviewing or mentoring newer team members Experience working both part-time and full-time accounting setups Why This Matters More Than the Title Suggests A missed reconciliation doesn't stay small. It turns into a confused vendor call weeks later, or a scramble right before an audit, or a financial statement that has to get quietly corrected after the fact. Naukri Mitra built this role specifically to catch that stuff early — the accuracy of the day-to-day bookkeeping is what the rest of the finance function actually rests on. What You Get Real choice between part-time and full-time, based on what works for you Work from home, a co-working space, wherever the setup actually functions Competitive pay with standard benefits A path toward more senior accounting responsibility over time Who Tends to Do Well Not necessarily the fastest at data entry. More often it's whoever double-checks their own numbers out of habit, catches something off before anyone else notices, and doesn't need constant check-ins to stay on track. This role carries more weight than an entry-level clerk position, so taking initiative on a recurring process issue — instead of just flagging it and waiting — counts for a lot. Either Schedule Works Some people take this on full-time as their main accounting role. Others prefer it part-time, layered around other commitments. The schedule flexes. What doesn't flex is the expectation around accuracy and follow-through.
