CPA (Bookkeeper) at Remote Raven in Philippines, Philippines

We are seeking a highly disciplined, detail-driven Bookkeeper to take full ownership of financial records across a growing, multi-location studio environment. This is not a transactional or data-entry role — it requires end-to-end control of the books, from daily journal entries through executive-level monthly financial reporting.

You will be the single point of accountability for the integrity of our client's books. You will manage QuickBooks Online as the system of record, reconcile multiple bank, credit card, and loan accounts, match Stripe payment processor deposits against revenue reports from Mariana Tek (the studio management platform), and deliver a complete monthly financial statement package to C-Suite leadership. Your work directly supports decisions about expansion, pricing strategy, and investor reporting.

This role is best suited for a bookkeeper who has already closed books independently for at least three years, who treats reconciliation discrepancies as puzzles to solve rather than items to defer, and who can produce a clean Balance Sheet and Income Statement without being walked through it. You will operate with significant autonomy — leadership expects the books to be current, accurate, and audit-ready without prompting.

Multi-location accounting is central to this role. Revenue must be allocated correctly across studio locations, and the bookkeeper must understand how to track membership income, class pack sales, retail, events, and teacher training separately. Familiarity with fitness or wellness CRM platforms is strongly preferred because the revenue allocation work is where most candidates without prior service-business experience struggle.
