Accountant (US GAAP)

Howard Financial is a full-service back-office solution for high-growth companies with bookkeeping, payroll, and bespoke reporting needs that require accuracy, timeliness, and institutional-quality reporting without the burden of full-time staff. We are an experienced team of bookkeepers and administrators with multiple decades of combined experience across industries allowing companies to focus on their core business while we handle the rest. 

Founded in 2023, our team of ~100 professionals supports ~75 clients across a diverse range of industries. We recently reached $6M of contracted ARR and are growing rapidly (over 200% LTM growth).

The Role

We're looking for a sharp, reliable Accountant to join our growing Hospitality practice. In this role, you'll manage day-to-day accounting for a portfolio of hospitality clients — hotels, restaurants, and related businesses — operating under US GAAP standards. You'll be the person our clients count on to keep their books clean, their close on schedule, and their reporting accurate.

This is a high-ownership, client-facing role. You'll work independently, manage your own deadlines, and communicate directly with clients and internal stakeholders across time zones.

What You'll Do

• Own the full-cycle accounting for a portfolio of hospitality clients, including GL management, month-end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting
• Prepare and review financial statements in compliance with US GAAP
• Manage accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, and journal entries
• Coordinate directly with clients to gather information, clarify transactions, and communicate results
• Identify and flag discrepancies, process gaps, or areas for improvement proactively
• Adapt quickly as client needs evolve — no two clients are the same

What We're Looking For

Must-haves

• 3+ years of accounting experience, with demonstrated ownership of a full close cycle
• Solid, working knowledge of US GAAP — you've applied it consistently, not just studied it
• Experience working with US-based clients or in a US-facing accounting environment
• Comfortable managing multiple client accounts or projects simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication in English — you'll interact directly with clients
• Self-directed and organized — you manage your own workload without needing micromanagement
• Proven ability to perform in fast-paced, high-volume environments where priorities shift

Nice to have

• Direct experience in hospitality accounting — hotels, restaurants, resorts, F&B operations
• Familiarity with hospitality-specific concepts: RevPAR, ADR, departmental P&Ls, tip reporting
• Experience at a multi-client firm, outsourced accounting provider, or CPA firm
• Exposure to ERP or property management system implementations
• CPA license or equivalent accounting certification

Why Howard Financial

• 100% remote — work from anywhere in LATAM or Europe, on a schedule that works for you
• Real variety: you'll work across multiple client relationships and industry verticals, not the same ledger forever
• A team that moves fast and gives you room to grow — promotions here are earned, not scheduled
• Collaborative, low-ego culture: we share knowledge, ask questions, and support each other
• Direct exposure to US business practices and clients across four distinct industries
