Before you apply

Many bookkeeping and accounts payable roles ask for QuickBooks, Xero or NetSuite. Senior roles may want a CPA, but plenty of others don’t.
Look for “US”, “United States”, “North America”, “worldwide” or “anywhere” in the location, and check for a list of states: some US jobs only hire in a few.

How we counted

We read each remote job from the company’s own job board and work out who it’s open to. A job counts as open to the US if it names it, a region that includes it, or says you can work from anywhere. These numbers are from today’s list and change as jobs open and close.
