Hiring: Experienced Accountant / Bookkeeper for B2B Consumer Electronics Business — Remote
I’m looking for a **highly competent and experienced accountant/bookkeeper based in Pakistan** to help me properly organize and maintain the financial records of my B2B consumer electronics business.
This is **not just an invoice-entry job**. I need someone who actually understands accounting and can help me build a proper financial system from the ground up.
**About the business**
I operate a B2B consumer electronics wholesale/middleman business, dealing with customers and suppliers on relatively large transactions. The business involves buying/sourcing products from suppliers and selling them to B2B customers, often with significant transaction values.
My biggest problem right now is that my bookkeeping/accounting has basically been neglected. I have invoices, orders, supplier records, payment records, bank transactions, WhatsApp/email records, etc., but they’re not organized into a proper accounting system.
I need someone who can come in and **clean everything up and establish a proper system going forward.**
**What I need help with**
**Initial cleanup/reconstruction:**
Organize existing business transactions
Reconcile sales with customer payments
Reconcile supplier purchases/payments
Organize invoices and receipts
Identify outstanding customer receivables
Identify outstanding supplier payables
Calculate historical COGS and gross profit
Separate business expenses from actual deal costs
Reconcile bank/payment accounts
Help reconstruct historical P&L as accurately as possible
**Ongoing bookkeeping:**
Record every sale
Record supplier purchases/COGS
Track customer receivables
Track supplier payables
Track business expenses
Bank reconciliation
Maintain proper ledgers
Monthly closing
Monthly P&L
Balance sheet
Cash-flow reporting
Gross/net profit tracking
Invoice/payment tracking
Keep everything organized and audit-friendly
**Software**
I’m open to using whatever is appropriate, but I’m currently considering **Zoho Books / Zoho Invoice, QuickBooks Online, or Xero**.
I want the accountant to help me choose the most suitable system rather than simply forcing me into whatever software they already know.
**What I’m looking for**
I’m specifically looking for someone who:
Has **at least 3–5 years of real accounting/bookkeeping experience**
Has worked with **SMEs / trading / wholesale / distribution businesses**
Understands **COGS, gross profit, net profit, AR/AP and bank reconciliation**
Is extremely detail-oriented
Can work independently without needing to be told every little thing
Has experience with accounting software
Is comfortable dealing with relatively large-value transactions
Has excellent Excel/Google Sheets skills
Can communicate clearly in English
Understands that accuracy is extremely important
Can explain accounting concepts to a business owner in simple terms
**ACCA / CA / CMA / relevant accounting qualification is strongly preferred**, but practical experience and competence matter more to me than just having a qualification on paper.
**Compensation**
I’m looking for someone **part-time initially and preferably hourly**, rather than hiring full-time immediately.
I’m thinking around 3-4$**/hour depending on experience and capability**, but I’m open to discussing the rate with the right person.
I would initially set a defined number of hours for the cleanup/reconstruction, then potentially continue with ongoing monthly bookkeeping if everything works well.
I’m more interested in finding someone **really good and trustworthy** than finding the cheapest person.
**Important**
Please don’t apply if your experience is mainly:
Basic data entry
Simple Excel bookkeeping
Making invoices
Basic personal accounting
I need someone who genuinely understands **double-entry bookkeeping and financial accounting** and can take ownership of the books.
**To apply**
