Staff Accountant

Fortress Accounting is a remote-first firm with team members across 10 countries, serving tech entrepreneurs and growing businesses globally. Our mission: handle your accounting and finance so you can focus on building your business. We're not a Big Four firm. We're not trying to be. We're building something different—a place where talented accountants can do meaningful work, grow fast, and actually enjoy what they do.

### What You'll Actually Do - Own the full accounting cycle for a portfolio of tech clients—A/P, A/R, payroll, reconciliations, financial statements - Master QuickBooks Online (this is non-negotiable—you need to be an expert, not comfortable with it) - Build financial models and reports in Google Sheets - Prepare for tax season and ensure compliance - Work directly with founders and operators who rely on you to keep their finances tight - Adapt quickly as we roll out new automation tools and tech

### Who Thrives Here - 3+ years of real accounting experience —preferably with tech companies (SaaS, crypto, fintech, AI, healthcare tech) - QuickBooks Online expert —not learning, already there - Google Sheets power user —comfortable building models, not just filling in cells - Self-directed and accountable —remote work means no one's watching; you need to deliver anyway - Detail-obsessed but fast —precision matters, but so does pace - Excellent communicator —clear writing, responsive, professional with clients across time zones - Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting required. Finance degree? That works too—but you'll need enough hands-on accounting experience to prove you know the fundamentals inside and out.

### The Deal - First 90 days: 1099 contractor at $50/hour. We're testing fit—on both sides. - After 90 days: Full-time W-2 position at $100K/year, plus: - Health insurance - Dental coverage - Vision coverage - Performance bonuses - Ongoing training and development ### The Culture - High Standards, Real Autonomy - Actual ownership of your work and clients - No micromanagement —we hire adults and treat them like adults - Remote flexibility —work from anywhere, but show up ready to work - Direct access to leadership —we're a small team, your voice matters - Clients who are building cool things —not legacy corporations stuck in 1995 - Work-life balance? Yes. But let's be honest: if you want a job where you coast and clock out mentally at 4:59, this isn't it. We work hard. We take our clients seriously. And we expect you to care about doing excellent work.
