Accounting and finance roles have become genuinely remote-friendly as cloud accounting software replaced paper-based, in-office workflows.
Common remote roles
- Bookkeeper — the most accessible entry point, often working across several small-business clients at once.
- Financial analyst — modeling and reporting, usually for a single company.
- Fractional CFO / controller — senior, often part-time across multiple clients.
