100% remote. We hire based on exceptional ability, not years of experience.
This is our first dedicated finance hire. You will not be joining a finance department — you will be building it. For someone early in their career who is unusually smart, determined, and proactive, this is the kind of work most finance people wait ten years to touch: setting up companies, designing accounting structures, supporting acquisitions, and investigating messy accounting problems where you have to talk to people and figure out what is actually going on.
This is a judgment-heavy role, not a data-entry role. There is real accounting work in it — close, reconciliation, reporting, books cleanup, and compliance — but the reason this job exists is the hard problems around it.
Why this is an excellent job for someone who is exceptional at finance and problem-solvingSalary well above local Big 4 market, with room to grow quickly if you are excellent.
Hard, high-trust work from day one: US-facing finance, accounting structures, acquisition diligence, and investigations — not ticking and tying.
You will work directly with the founder and be close to real decisions about acquisitions, company structure, tax efficiency, and capital allocation.
Deep US exposure: US companies, US accounting systems, US advisors, and US-facing communication — a resume accelerator that few local roles can match.
You will work across a founder-led portfolio of software companies, apps, and related investment structures without being boxed into one narrow accounting lane.
You will use modern AI tools to do the work of a much larger finance team.
A genuine trajectory: as the portfolio grows, this role can grow toward controller-level finance leadership across multiple companies.
Design and improve accounting structures, chart of accounts, reporting lines, and internal accounts for existing businesses, new entities, and acquired companies.
Set up and clean up books for new or early-stage companies, including making sure each business line can be understood separately.
Build useful profit and loss reporting by company, app, and business line, including revenue, costs, CAC/LTV, ROI, allocations, and performance trends where relevant.
Run and improve close, reconciliations, intercompany balances, recharges, allocations, documentation, and recurring reporting across multiple entities.
Investigate accounting problems where the numbers do not add up: misallocated expenses, missing records, unusual transactions, and occasionally potential fraud.
Support acquisition work: target analysis, diligence, seller number verification, scenario modeling, and post-acquisition performance tracking.
Coordinate with bookkeepers, accountants, tax advisors, and operating teams so the finance function becomes reliable without constant founder involvement.
Stay across company maintenance, compliance, tax efficiency, entity structure, and advisor follow-through, especially for US-facing work.
Find practical ways to save money, improve financial strategy, reduce administrative load, and increase profits through better information and better structure.
Use QuickBooks, Xero, spreadsheets, Google Drive records, bank statements, and AI tools to reconcile, analyze, document, and improve the finance function.
Stay flexible and take on additional responsibilities as the role and company needs evolve.
Everis is a founder-led business focused on buying, operating, and improving small software companies and apps for the long term. Every acquisition and operating decision needs clean books, sound structure, useful reporting, and sharp financial judgment. You will help build the financial foundation that makes the model work as the portfolio grows.
What we’re looking forObjective evidence of exceptional ability. Latin honors, class rank, CPA board rating of 88+ or a topnotcher placement, national competition results, or equivalent — tell us specifically in your application.
CPA or equivalent strongly preferred.
1–4 years of experience, ideally Big 4 audit, US-focused accounting, or similarly rigorous finance work. Exceptional fresh graduates will be considered.
US GAAP exposure or experience serving US clients is a plus, not a requirement.
Strong accounting mechanics: reconciliations, reporting, books cleanup, close discipline, and comfort learning new systems quickly.
Professional skepticism: you notice what doesn’t add up, and you are comfortable asking direct questions of people who would rather not answer them.
Determined — the person who refuses to give up on a hard problem long after most people would have stopped.
Highly proactive: you have a track record of doing important things nobody asked you to do.
Very smart and quick to learn; able to figure things out independently in areas you’ve never touched before.
Excellent written English — you can explain a complex finance issue in plain words to a non-finance founder.
High integrity — non-negotiable. You will handle confidential information and sometimes deliver unwelcome findings, and you must stand behind them.
Extremely organized with very strong attention to detail.
Comfortable with software and AI tools, or highly motivated to become excellent at using them.
Our hiring process is designed to understand how you think, communicate, and work through complex finance problems. It may include written questions, interviews, practical exercises, and reference or credential checks, but we will share the details with candidates as they move through the process.
We aim to move from application to offer in under three weeks. Because this is a high-trust finance role, we verify credentials — licenses, transcripts, and references. Any embellishment discovered at any stage of the process is disqualifying. Given the nature of this role, we think you’d expect nothing less.
What we offer$30–50k USD per year depending on ability and experience.
No limits based on age, degree, or traditional experience. We care about your contribution.
Work directly with a successful, entrepreneurial founder and learn how companies are bought, structured, fixed, and grown.
Make your own decisions and build the finance function the way it should be built.
Flexible location, and significant flexibility in hours — though some overlap with US working hours is needed for the investigative and advisory parts of the role.
A role that grows with the portfolio: toward finance leadership across multiple companies over time.
The first 90 days will be demanding. You will need to learn fast, ask good questions, and get on top of several companies’ books and finance questions at once.
There are no perfect established processes here. You will be building structures, not just following them. If you need a lot of structure, hand-holding, or slow-moving processes, this will be a bad fit.
You will sometimes have to deliver unwelcome findings — to a seller, a team member, an advisor, or the founder — and stand behind them under pushback.
The selection process is hard on purpose. If that puts you off, this role isn’t for you.
There is still plenty of detailed accounting work — close, reconciliations, documentation. If you think that work is beneath you, you will not enjoy this role.
Excited to work with you and build this into a historic company!
