We need an experienced Bookkeeper who understands accounting -- not just data entry. You will manage books for multiple clients, own the month-end close process, and produce financial statements that are accurate and CPA-ready.

Reconcile bank, credit card, and loan accounts monthly

Record payroll entries and reconcile payroll liabilities

Prepare supporting schedules for sales tax, 1099s, and other compliance items

Deliver clean monthly financial statements (balance sheet, P&L, cash flow) ready for CPA review

Communicate proactively with clients and internal CPAs on open items and discrepancies

What We're Looking For

3-5+ years of bookkeeping experience, ideally in a public accounting or multi-client setting

Solid understanding of GAAP and the interplay between the balance sheet and income statement

Experience with both full accrual and modified cash-basis accounting

Proficiency in QuickBooks Online and/or Desktop

Ability to juggle multiple client deadlines without dropping the ball

Clear, professional communicator -- comfortable working with clients and CPAs remotely

S.-based and legally authorized to work in the United States (required)

Nice to Have

Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting

AIPB Certified Bookkeeper or NACPB License

Experience with fixed assets, depreciation entries, and deferred items

Full-time, stable position with an established CPA firm

Collaborative team that respects your expertise

Exposure to a variety of industries and accounting challenges

Support for continuing education and professional development
