Full Description

Full-time | Remote | PST Overlap Required Rafael Alexandrian, CPA, Inc. is a fast-growing virtual accounting and tax advisory firm providing personalized financial services to individuals and small businesses across the U.S. Founded and led by CPA and former Disney/Tech CFO Rafael Alexandrian, the firm has evolved from a seasonal solo practice into a year-round operation — and is now hiring its first full-time team member. We are looking for a Business Assistant who will work directly with Rafael to ensure smooth daily operations, organized client communication, structured workflows, and an exceptional client experience. This role is ideal for someone who is extremely organized, proactive, responsive, and eager to grow within the accounting field. What You’ll Do • Manage client communication: respond to simple inquiries, field unscheduled calls, provide meeting links, and ensure clients follow the correct process. • Organize Rafael’s inbox, track action items, summarize questions that require his attention, and maintain communication flow. • Support client onboarding: guide new clients through required steps, track missing documents, and ensure all items are submitted through the correct portal. • Maintain the document intake process and enforce proper submission through Soraban (the firm’s client portal). • Manage Rafael’s calendar: schedule calls, maintain time blocks, and prevent last-minute interruptions. • Assist with operational organization — checklists, trackers, file management, and workflow improvements. • Handle light bookkeeping-related administrative tasks (not accounting), such as organizing statements and reminding clients to upload documents. • Identify inefficiencies in processes and propose improvements. What We’re Looking For • 3–4 years of administrative, operations, VA, client support, or business assistant experience. • Strong understanding of basic accounting or bookkeeping concepts, or experience supporting financial/tax businesses. • Excellent English written and verbal communication skills — clear, professional, and fast. • Highly organized with strong attention to detail. • Proactive, responsive, self-driven — no hand-holding required. • Comfortable handling client communication in a service-oriented, professional tone. • Experience with Google Workspace. • Familiarity with QuickBooks Online or any CRM platform is a plus.
