We are seeking an Accounting Specialist to join our team. This role is pivotal to maintaining the accuracy and compliance of our financial operations. They’ll oversee another full time employee, work closely with the accounting company that we collaborate with, and report directly to our CEO. While the work volume is manageable, the responsibilities require meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to precision. The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and self-motivated, with excellent time management and task prioritization abilities.

Although this role is fully remote, we are specifically looking for someone based in Bucharest, Romania - this is due to the nature of the job, which may occasionally require in-person tasks such as signing contracts, sending documents to the accounting company, or visiting legal institutions.

Benefits

• SEOmonitor is a leading SEO platform trusted by digital agencies worldwide.
• Flexibility in working remotely, with no days required to work in office - we don’t care where you choose to work from, as long as you do great work. This being said, we do have an office in Bucharest, Romania, and, as we mentioned above, we're looking for someone based here - this is due to the nature of the job, which may occasionally require in-person tasks.
