Position Overview:


We’re looking for a Bookkeeper who can handle the full-cycle of bookkeeping across a variety of industries, with small business owners who expect results. This isn’t a role where you just punch numbers. You’ll be managing client relationships, delivering high-value insights, and making sure no detail slips through the cracks. You’ll have the flexibility to work remotely, but make no mistake—this is a high-accountability, results-driven role.We need someone who can operate without hand-holding, who’s proactive, and who takes ownership over their work - and who has such good attention to detail, we may never find your mistakes.

If you need someone to tell you what to do every day, this isn’t it. You’ll be delivering exceptional service, helping businesses grow, and supporting our clients' success. Sound like you?

Key Responsibilities:


  • Full-Cycle Bookkeeping: Own it. From AP/AR to payroll, general ledger, and reconciliations—you keep the financials in check.
  • Weekly & Monthly Updates: You’ll be in constant communication with clients, delivering weekly financial updates and preparing monthly reports that tell them what they need to know to make smart business moves.
  • File Reviewing: You'll be reviewing our Junior Bookkeeper's work, evaluating their books and ensuring they're learning everything they need to.
  • QuickBooks Clean-Up & Maintenance: You’re the go-to for complex QuickBooks Online clean-ups. Consistency and compliance? Non-negotiable.
  • Client Communication: You’re the primary point of contact for your clients, providing financial insights and answering any questions they’ve got. You’re not just a bookkeeper—you’re a trusted advisor.
  • Collaboration: Work with our senior team and other members to ensure our service stays top-tier. You’ll also help onboard new clients and improve processes to streamline our operation.
  • Process Improvement: We don’t stand still. You’ll help refine workflows, suggest best practices, and ensure we keep improving.

Requirements:


  • Experience: Minimum 1-7 years of bookkeeping experience. You’ve seen it all and can handle small businesses in industries like professional services, marketing, restaurants, retail, legal, health/wellness, entertainment, and more.
  • QuickBooks Expertise: You live and breathe QuickBooks Online and desktop. Complex reconciliations and clean-ups are your bread and butter. You know more about Quickbooks than the average bookkeeper.
  • Communication: You can explain financial data in plain English to clients who don’t know a P&L from an expense report. And you’re not afraid to over-communicate with your team.
  • Detail-Oriented: Accuracy is your middle name. Every transaction is accounted for, every report is spot on.
  • Self-Motivated: You don’t wait for someone to tell you what to do. You’re proactive, you’re efficient, and you thrive in a remote environment.
  • Certifications: QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification is preferred, but not required. What matters is that you know your stuff.

Why Join Us?


  • Remote Flexibility: Work from anywhere, manage your own schedule. We care about results, not when or where you do the work.
  • Client Impact: You’ll be deeply involved with clients, giving them weekly updates and helping them make decisions that grow their business.
  • Tailored Approach: You won’t be a cog in a machine. You’ll be delivering custom solutions for each client based on our unique SOPs.
  • Collaborative Team: We’re a small, tight-knit team that values professionalism, accountability, and personal growth. No egos, just execution.
  • Growth Opportunities: We’re growing fast, and we want you to grow with us. We offer professional development, including certifications and opportunities to take on more responsibility.
