Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Quo is a remote-first company focused on trust, autonomy, and action as it scales. The Senior Accountant will own core month-end close activities, maintain accurate AP, AR, payroll, and multi-entity accounting records, and support financial reporting. The role will also improve accounting processes, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and support internal and external audits.
Responsibilities
- Maintain key balance sheet schedules, including prepaid assets and fixed assets, and book the related monthly entries
- Assist with variance analysis, explaining P&L and balance sheet fluctuations
- Roll forward and update the monthly financial reporting package (KPIs, headcount, P&L)
- Process incoming vendor bills for coding accuracy and route them for approval
- Review credit card transactions for correct coding, chase down receipts, and flag ineligible spend
- Onboard new vendors, collect required tax forms, and issue annual tax documents
- Follow up on overdue invoices and resolve payment disputes
- Own payroll accounting for our Canada, US, and international teams, spanning employees and contractors
- Prepare and reconcile payroll journal entries each pay run, resolving discrepancies before they hit the books
- Handle country-specific requirements like retirement plan contributions, leave pay, and related government filings
- Identify and fix manual, error-prone processes. If a reconciliation takes three hours and could take thirty minutes, we want you to improve that

- Support internal and external audits with clean documentation and clear answers
Skills

- Comfort with payroll accounting concepts: gross-to-net, benefits accruals, retirement plan contributions
- Strong Excel/Sheets skills. You should be able to build a reconciliation from scratch, not just fill in a template
