Before you hire
Nobody hands over the books on a hunch.
What does a remote bookkeeper from Latin America actually do?
They own the recurring finance work: categorizing transactions, recording expenses, issuing invoices and chasing payment, keeping payables and receivables current, reconciling bank and card accounts, running the monthly close and preparing your profit and loss. Some people search for this as a bookkeeping virtual assistant. At Mate&Work you are hiring a dedicated bookkeeper into a role, working inside your accounting software from week one.
How much does it cost to hire a bookkeeper?
A dedicated bookkeeper from Mate&Work costs up to 75 percent less than the same role hired in the United States. For comparison, the United States median wage for bookkeeping, accounting and auditing clerks was $50,670 a year in May 2025 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and that is base pay before payroll taxes, benefits, software seats and equipment. Your exact price depends on full-time or part-time, experience level and English level. See live bookkeeper pricing.
Am I hiring a person or buying a service?
With Mate&Work you are hiring a person into a role. One professional based in Latin America, dedicated to your company, on your schedule. You keep them for as long as the role is useful to you, with no minimum term and no locked contract. See how it works.
What accounting software do they work in?
QuickBooks Online and Xero most often, plus Bill.com, Ramp, Gusto, Dext, Hubdoc, Stripe, Google Sheets and Excel. Tell us your stack when you start the search and we screen for it, so the person you hire is fluent from day one.
How fast do I get candidates?
Mate&Work delivers your shortlist in 2 to 5 business days. You interview the candidates yourself and choose the person you want on your books. See how it has gone for other companies.
What if I need less than a full-time bookkeeper?
Part-time runs at 80 hours a month for the same dedicated bookkeeper. For lighter finance admin than that, our Virtual Assistant plans are billed weekly. See the three plans.
Can a remote bookkeeper file my taxes?
Tax filing stays with your CPA. A Mate&Work bookkeeper keeps transactions categorized, accounts reconciled and the month closed on time, so your accountant receives clean books and files from accurate records. The same boundary applies to financial statement sign off, audit representation and entity structuring, which are all CPA work.
Your books, owned by one person.
Tell us what your finance stack looks like and we will have a shortlist of bilingual bookkeepers in front of you this week.
