How this list works
This ranking is recomputed automatically from CozyJobs' live listing data — no editorial picks, no pay-to-play. Roles with disclosed pay rank first (highest annualized pay at the top), followed by trending and most recently posted roles. Expired or filled listings drop off the moment our link-checking detects them.
Frequently asked questions
How much do remote accounting jobs pay?+
Remote bookkeepers typically earn $45,000–$60,000; staff accountants $60,000–$80,000; senior accountants and controllers $90,000–$150,000+. CPA licensure adds a meaningful premium at every level.
Do remote accounting jobs require a CPA?+
Bookkeeping and staff accountant roles usually don't — a degree or equivalent experience with QuickBooks/NetSuite is enough. Controller, audit, and senior reporting roles typically expect a CPA or progress toward one.
How is this list ranked and how often does it update?+
Rankings are recomputed automatically from live listing data — disclosed pay first, then trending status and freshness. The list refreshes throughout the day as new listings are ingested and expired ones drop off, so every entry links to a role that is actually open.
Where do CozyJobs listings come from?+
Listings are aggregated daily from employer career sites, major ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, and more), and direct submissions. Automated quality filters remove volunteer/unpaid roles and known aggregator spam, so what surfaces is paid, real work.
Is CozyJobs free to use?+
Browsing and creating an account are free. To unlock full job descriptions, employer names, apply links, and AI-tailored applications, choose a paid plan starting at $25/month — see cozyjobs.com/pricing.
