About Us
Supernova Containers is a rapidly growing shipping-container company serving customers throughout Canada and the United States. Our Buenos Aires team works closely with company ownership and our North American operations.
We are looking for a careful, organized Accounting Assistant who enjoys turning unstructured tasks into clear, repeatable systems.
The Role
You will work independently while receiving guidance and oversight from an experienced accountant. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys accounting routines, remembers details, catches inconsistencies, and naturally looks for better ways to organize work.
Many of our accounting processes are still being developed, so we need someone who doesn’t just follow systems—we need someone who enjoys helping create them.
Responsibilities
- Enter and organize vendor bills
- Manage accounts payable and payment records
- Prepare expense reports
- Complete bank and credit-card reconciliations
- Create and track purchase orders
- Match bills, purchase orders, payments, and supporting documents
- Investigate missing information or discrepancies
- Maintain accurate and organized financial records
- Build checklists, procedures, and repeatable accounting routines
- Follow up with team members to collect required documentation
- Support the accountant with additional bookkeeping and reporting tasks
What We’re Looking For
- Fluent English is required
- Previous bookkeeping, accounting, or administrative finance experience
- Extremely careful and accurate
- Excellent memory and strong attention to detail
- Comfortable working independently and managing recurring deadlines
- Naturally systematic and process-oriented
- Enjoys creating structure where no clear process currently exists
- Strong follow-through—you remember what is outstanding and ensure it gets completed
- Comfortable asking questions and investigating when information does not match
- Experience with accounting software, spreadsheets, and digital recordkeeping
Compensation and Schedule
- Starting compensation: $800-$1000 USD per month depending on experience
- Four working days per week
- Initial training will take place in our Recoleta office
- The position will transition to a hybrid arrangement once training is complete and the employee can work independently
- North American holiday calendar
Why Join Supernova?
- Work directly with an experienced accountant and company leadership
- Help build the accounting systems of a growing international company
- Take ownership of meaningful, ongoing responsibilities
- Join a fast-moving team where careful, reliable work is highly valued
- Opportunity for the role and responsibilities to grow with the company
If you are highly organized, remember the small details, and genuinely enjoy building systems that make work more accurate and repeatable, we would like to hear from you.
