Who We Are

7TI empowers lives digitally, connecting top talent with global leaders and offering elite training in a thriving community, so you can build a future-proof remote career with growth and freedom.


Who We're Looking For

We are seeking a highly tech-savvy, forward-thinking Accountant to manage the financial operations for our international ecosystem of companies, which includes a US-based digital agency, an international staffing division, an offshore operations entity, and a rapidly growing SaaS platform.


This is not a traditional data-entry bookkeeping role. We are aggressively building an AI-first organization. While you will be responsible for the accuracy of our books in Xero, your ultimate objective is to utilize and build AI agents to automate reconciliation, expense tracking, and reporting. As the AI handles the manual lifting, you will elevate your focus to high-level financial analysis, unit economics by division, and continuously improving our financial tech stack.


Responsibilities

  • AI Automation & Tech Stack Management (The Future of the Role)
  • Train, prompt, and manage custom AI agents to handle daily transaction categorization, bank reconciliations, and expense tracking.
  • Continuously audit the outputs of our AI systems to ensure < 2% error rates, making adjustments to their instructions as needed.
  • Prepare the financial data architecture for a future transition from Xero to a full-scale enterprise ERP system.
  • Multi-Entity Accounting & Xero Mastery
  • Own and maintain the Xero accounts for our US and offshore entities, utilizing "Tracking Categories" to clearly separate the unit economics of our agency, staffing, and software divisions.
  • Manage complex intercompany billing and transfer pricing processes between international entities.
  • Transition legacy operational and invoicing platforms directly into unified Xero workflows.
  • Payroll, Compliance, & FBLC (Fully Burdened Labor Cost)
  • Process US payroll via Gusto.
  • Process and verify Philippine payroll using Sprout Solutions as the ultimate source of truth.
  • Ensure accurate recording of DOLE-compliant government benefits (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG).
  • Crucial: Maintain monthly accruals in Xero for regional requirements (e.g., Philippine 13th-month pay) to prevent year-end cash flow disruptions.
  • Strategic Reporting & High-Level Review
  • Deliver finalized P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statements to the leadership team by the 10th of every month.
  • Monitor and report on gross margins for our staffing division (Client Billing vs. Fully Burdened Labor Cost) and manage the cash burn / R&D capitalization tracking for our software platform.


Qualifications

  • Tech & AI Native: Highly comfortable experimenting with, implementing, and managing AI tools (ChatGPT, custom AI agents, LLM automation). You view AI as an essential co-worker, not a threat.
  • Software Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Xero (QuickBooks experience is obsolete here). Experience with Sprout Solutions and Gusto is a major plus.
  • Multi-Entity Experience: Proven track record managing intercompany transactions, international transfer pricing, and multi-currency (USD/PHP) accounting.
  • Analytical Mindset: Ability to look beyond the spreadsheet to understand why numbers are shifting and provide strategic advice to the executive team.
  • Executive Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; capable of distilling complex multi-entity financial data into clear, actionable insights for the President and leadership team.


What to Expect in Your First 90 Days

  • Day 30: You have taken full ownership of Xero and our US/Offshore payroll processing. You have audited our current manual workflows and identified 3 key processes ripe for AI automation.
  • Day 60: You have deployed your first AI workflow/agent for transaction categorization or A/R follow-ups. You have successfully transitioned our legacy invoicing workflows fully into Xero.
  • Day 90: You are consistently hitting the < 2% error rate and 10th-of-the-month reporting KPIs. You present your first strategic "Unit Economics" review to the President and CFO, offering actionable advice on margins and cash flow.


Why You Might NOT Be a Good Fit

  • You prefer the comfort of legacy software and view AI as a threat to your job rather than a tool to elevate your career.
  • You view accounting strictly as historical data-entry and reporting, rather than a forward-looking, strategic function.
  • You struggle with the autonomy and asynchronous communication required in a fast-paced, remote, night-shift role.
  • You prefer to be handed a checklist of tasks rather than creating the systems and building the checklists yourself.
