Hire a Remote Financial Bookkeeper for Your New York Firm
Full-time remote bookkeepers for NY funds, RIAs, fintechs, and professional services firms. NetSuite and QuickBooks fluent, fund admin aware, Eastern Time overlap. From $1,800 per month.
Why New York Finance Firms Hire Remote Bookkeepers
New York is the financial capital of the world. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, NYSE and Nasdaq issuance activity, the largest concentration of hedge funds, RIAs, PE funds, and family offices in the country, and a dense fintech cluster in Manhattan and Brooklyn all live in the state. Behind every single one of those firms is a finance back-office that has to close monthly, reconcile broker statements, run partnership allocations, track expense policies, and produce LP or client reports.
Hiring a bookkeeper in Manhattan is brutal. Glassdoor and Robert Half NY data put senior bookkeeper pay at $68,000 to $88,000 per year, with fund admin and partnership-accounting specialists clearing six figures. Loaded with NY payroll tax, healthcare, MCTMT, 401k match, and NYC's higher cost of office real estate, a single seat costs $7,000 to $9,500 per month. Good ones churn into fund admin shops, RIAs, and Big Four within 18 to 24 months.
A Teckas remote bookkeeper works your Eastern Time hours, in your NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Sage Intacct, under strict data handling controls. BLS May 2023 national median for bookkeeping/accounting/auditing clerks is $47,440, with NY metros routinely 25 to 40 percent above that. Teckas pricing starts at $1,800 per month all-in.
