Role overview

What does a Bookkeeper do?

A great bookkeeper doesn't just record transactions—they keep your business financially healthy and audit-ready. Marco's Bookkeepers specialize in managing day-to-day financials for startups, agencies, and growing companies. From categorizing expenses to reconciling accounts, they ensure your financial data is accurate, organized, and ready for tax season or investor review.

What does a remote bookkeeper do? They record daily financial transactions, reconcile bank and credit card statements, categorize income and expenses, maintain general ledger entries, assist in preparing financial reports, track invoices and payments, and coordinate with accountants and CPAs on tax preparation. They're proficient in QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, and FreshBooks. A remote bookkeeper costs $800–$1,200/month through Marco versus $4,200/month for a U.S.-based bookkeeper.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Bookkeeper maintains accurate day-to-day financial records — categorizing transactions, reconciling bank statements, managing accounts payable/receivable, and preparing reports for your accountant. 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., a Bookkeeper typically costs $4,200/month. Through Marco, you can hire a Bookkeeper from Latin America for $1,200/month, the Philippines for $800/month, or South Africa for $1,050/month — saving up to 81% while getting the same quality of work.
A Bookkeeper should have strong proficiency in double-entry bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, accounts payable/receivable, QuickBooks or Xero, and financial reporting basics. Accuracy, consistency, and strong organizational skills are essential. 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 Bookkeeper through Marco lets you hire certified professionals (CPAs, ACCAs) who understand US GAAP and international standards, at 70-85% less than domestic hires.
