Role overview

What does an Accountant do?

A great accountant doesn't just close the books—they keep your business financially healthy and investor-ready. Marco's Accountants manage the full accounting cycle: journal entries, bank reconciliations, financial statement preparation, and tax compliance. Whether you're a startup preparing for due diligence or an established business managing multi-entity accounting, they deliver the accuracy and reliability your finances demand.

What does a remote accountant do? They manage general ledger entries, reconcile bank and credit card statements, prepare monthly and quarterly financial statements, assist with tax filings, ensure GAAP or IFRS compliance, and coordinate with external auditors and CPAs. They work in platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and Sage. A remote accountant costs $900–$1,400/month through Marco compared to $5,500+/month for a U.S.-based accountant.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Accountant manages financial records, prepares journal entries, reconciles accounts, and produces financial statements that give you a clear picture of your business's financial health. They typically work with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Excel, and financial reporting tools, and are responsible for delivering measurable results that directly impact your business goals.

In the U.S., an Accountant typically costs $5,063/month. Through Marco, you can hire an Accountant from Latin America for $1,875/month, the Philippines for $1,500/month, or South Africa for $1,700/month — saving up to 71% while getting the same quality of work.

An Accountant should have strong proficiency in GAAP/IFRS standards, financial statement preparation, reconciliation, tax basics, and accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite). A CPA or equivalent certification is preferred. Marco's vetting process tests for these skills plus English fluency, communication ability, and remote work readiness before matching candidates to your team.

Hiring a remote Accountant through Marco lets you hire certified professionals (CPAs, ACCAs) who understand US GAAP and international standards, at 70-85% less than domestic hires. Remote accountants also offer scheduling flexibility — many work US hours — and Marco handles vetting, onboarding, and ongoing support so you can focus on results, not recruitment.

Marco matches you with a pre-vetted Accountant in as little as one week. Share your role requirements, review curated candidate profiles, conduct interviews with your top picks, and onboard your new hire — all with Marco's support. Every candidate is screened for technical skills, English proficiency, and cultural fit before you ever see their profile.
