Working as a Remote Staff Accountant

Remote staff accountant jobs handle the core of day-to-day accounting — journal entries, account reconciliations, month-end close support, and general-ledger maintenance. Often an entry point into the profession, a growing share of staff accountant roles are now offered remotely.

Remote staff accountant roles sit in companies' accounting teams and firms across industries, typically at the entry to mid level. Strong candidates pair an accounting degree and solid fundamentals with attention to detail and software familiarity; some roles support CPA candidates. The staff accountant roles on this site are updated daily and include only positions employers advertised as remote.

Frequently asked questions

Are these staff accountant jobs remote? +

Yes — every role posted on this site was advertised as remote by the employer. That's our single inclusion criterion: if a position wasn't presented as remote, it doesn't get listed, so every staff accountant role here is a remote-advertised one. Please note that while we do our best to keep listings accurate, employers occasionally make mistakes in their own postings, so in rare cases a role advertised as remote may turn out not to be — we always recommend confirming the arrangement directly with the employer before you apply.

What does a remote staff accountant do? +

Staff accountants record journal entries, prepare account reconciliations, support the month-end close, maintain the general ledger, and assist with accounts payable, receivable, and reporting.

Is staff accountant an entry-level role? +

Often yes — it's a common first or second role in the profession. Most positions expect an accounting degree, and while a CPA isn't usually required, employers may encourage candidates working toward one.

What is the typical salary for a remote staff accountant? +

It varies by location and company — roughly $50,000 to $70,000 for most roles. Individual postings list compensation where the employer provides it.

How do I progress from staff accountant? +

The usual path is staff accountant to senior accountant, then accounting manager and controller; earning a CPA helps progression. The related accounting pages cover those roles.
