Accountant

Remote role - for candidates based in Argentina. About the role
Our client is a fast-growing American disaster recovery business headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. When fires, floods, and storms hit, they respond, and they've done that work coast to coast: from Seattle to Miami, from Massachusetts to Hawaii. They operate four SERVPRO franchises as their home base and a large-loss practice that travels wherever disaster strikes.
The majority of their finance and accounting team is in Bosnia, so Argentine time works great to work with both their Eastern Europe and Nashville based teams. You'd join established teammates, report to the FP&A Analyst, and work in close daily coordination with their other Accounting Analyst, all backed by the Nashville-based Controller and CFO.
Why This Role Is Worth Your Ambition• You're in-house, not in a BPO. You work for one company, on one business, with one team, and you see the results of your work every month. No client rotations, no billable-hours factory.• A first-class education in American business. Insurance claims, cash flow, collections strategy, month-end close, real exposure to how a US operating company runs, with mentorship from senior finance leadership in Nashville.• AI as a core skill, not a buzzword. We use artificial intelligence across our finance workflows. You'll learn to use it two ways: to make yourself dramatically more efficient, and to help build new tools that don't exist yet.• Cross-training by design. Every accounting analyst there is trained across both AR and AP. This role leans heavily toward AR and collections, but you'll learn the full cycle, because cross-training is how we scale, how we cover each other during vacations, and how you grow into training others. It means your learning curve never flattens.• A real path upward. We're growing, and we promote from within the team we've built. The person who masters this seat is the person we develop toward finance leadership.
The Work, HonestlyWe want to be straight about the day-to-day: a lot of blocking and tackling. High-volume invoice processing, data entry, cash application, chasing documentation, reconciling accounts, and collection calls, done accurately, every day, without drama. This seat keeps cash coming in the door.
We believe that's exactly how finance leaders are built: nobody should manage a close who hasn't run one invoice at a time. If you take pride in unglamorous work done exceptionally well, this is your way in.
