Increase your chances of an interview by reading the following overview of this role before making an application.

Calling all Accounting Unicorns 

We're looking for an accounting professional who values communication as much as the technical skill of the profession. You're a critical thinker who thrives in the details, but gravitates towards the bigger picture of talent strategy, company culture, and holisitic hiring. While you have the professional acumen of an accountant, much of your interest and job will be focused on connecting. You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, along with a knack for easy conversation and making people feel comfortable.

You're proficient with QBO and general tech nerd, who has an acute understanding of the various positions within accounting firms and departments, so when assessing candidate applications you see a clear picture of their true experience. You think outside the box because you know how not-fun the corporate world can be. You're create a sense of ease and novelty for our candidates and clients, letting them know they're in good hands. You're ready to escape the traditional rat race and immerse yourself in a creative, authentic environment where you can make a real difference.

What You'll Be Doing

The task side of holistic hiring involves guiding candidates through our application process and contributing to the ultimate alignment of a client/candidate connection. Nothing is more important than creating harmonious relationships, where there is mutual affinity in the hires we facilitate. Proactive communication is second nature to you, never hesitating to send an email or jump on a call with a candidate to share information or answer their questions. You're impeccable with your word, leaving everyone feeling considered with a true sense of positivity, excitement, and care. Your work is fueled by a genuine desire to open the next door in our candidates' careers. 

Our ideal candidate will have:

• 2 or 4 year degree in Accounting

• 3+ years experience in CAS and/or CPA firm environment(s) that included full cycle bookkeeping and monthly accounting close process required

• 2-3+ years recent QuickBooks Online experience required

• Knowledge of popular QBO-integrated software (BILL, Melio, Gusto, Expensify, Divvy, Ramp, Dext, Tallie, Karbon, Hubdoc, Uncat, Keeper, SaasAnt, third party payment processors, etc.)

• CPA or MSA a plus (not required)

• And if you're a very special unicorn, recruiting and/or hiring experience in a remote accounting environment is obviously a major plus!

Compensation, benefits and work environment:

• TBD based on experience and interests

• This is a temp-to-hire position starting at 10-15 (flexible and 100% virtual) hours per week as a contractor, with the ability to grow with Viaggio to 20-35+ hours per week over approximately 6-12 months

• Future commission opportunities

Who We Are

Viaggio was born out of a desire to help small to medium sized accounting and bookkeeping firms make exceptional hires. The pandemic was a tipping point for adopting remote work in a new, more intentional way, and we found ourselves pivoting towards a new approach to hiring. An employee's desire to have a greater work/life balance is at the core of what we do. We care immensely about where work meets life, and only work with remote firms who do so as well. Nothing brings us more joy than finding great humans, who are also exceptionally talented. 

We're not recruiters. And we don't headhunt. From a pool of hundreds of applicants generated by the firms we serve, we ask, we probe, we test and assess; and we get to know the human behind each resume as we narrow down to final selections. Viaggio does everything in its power to connect next-level accountants and bookkeepers to companies embracing a next generation. xhyhwjd

Viaggio is growing, and we're looking for a people-loving accountant with a passion for human connection, technology, and vision, who is excited to share our values and expertise.
