Content writer for primarily accounting audience. 20-40 hrs/wk

If you’re tired of reading about the same old writing positions and looking for something a bit different, we’re glad you found us.

We’re about as far from being an enterprise company (in both size and culture) as you can get.

You won’t just churn out content. Instead, you’ll build a deep understanding of what drives our customers. create truly helpful content for our audience: accounting and bookkeeping firms. And you’ll push back on things if you think we’re doing something dumb or going in the wrong direction.

In Slack, we love seeing what cool stuff you get up to outside of work and your favorite awful dad jokes, if that’s your thing.

We were 100% remote before it was cool (~2014), and with that comes the freedom to set your own hours and adjust them when life gets in the way. The team is spread around the world, but the founders are based in Brisbane, Australia.

Here’s what one of our longest running team members had to say, when asked why he likes working with us: 

Amazing team, zero toxicity, low stress, remote since when that was not mainstream, freedom in time and space, zero tolerance to bullshit like micromanagement and pointless meetings

Ok, with all that out of the way, let’s get into the actual role:

We’re seeking a full or part time experienced content writer for a diverse range of content. Minimum 20 hours per week. Salary will be between 3-6k USD per month for full time. 1.5k-3k per month for half time (20 hours / week).

You’ll be involved in all kinds of writing, including:

• Blog posts

• Accounting workflow & process

• Productivity & automation

• Client relationships and communication

If you’re the kind of person who loves writing useful content, conducting research and simplifying complex topics, you should apply. 

What you’ll do

• Use a casual writing style - For most pieces, writing style is generally casual and sometimes fun. Humor is good. Memes are fair game. Only product pages and some guest posts will require more formal language. 

• Write blog posts - Topics vary greatly but focus on accountants and bookkeepers. Types of posts include how-to, research-based software reviews, lists (e.g. inspirational people in accounting) and more. Check out the blog here. 

• Engage with partners and customers - These are often a great source of quotes and content. You may even interview people to create content.

Who you are

About Content Snare

You might be wondering what product actually does. 

It helps people collect information from clients. Think of something like Typeform with auto saving and automatic reminders. This is overly simplistic, but a pretty good base.

Our customers are tired of chasing clients for information, and lose a ridiculous amount of time going back and forth over email. They’re typically using a combination of email, Google Drive and spreadsheets. Or a client portal that looks like it was made in 2003. 

Content Snare helps them get all the stuff they need from clients in one place. This is often a game-changer for their business. It’s not uncommon to hear new customers say “where have you been all my life”.

Right now it’s helping people collect over 100,000 items from their clients every month.

We hope you’ll enjoy helping our customers as much as we do.
