Find & Apply For Bookkeeper / Accounting Clerk Jobs in Wasilla, Alaska

Navigate Accounting Services is growing, and we're looking for an experienced bookkeeper who takes ownership of their work and enjoys solving problems for clients. At its core, this is a bookkeeping position. You'll manage bookkeeping for multiple business clients, including reconciliations, month-end accounting, financial statements, payroll support, and cleanup projects. But we're looking for more than someone who can complete a bookkeeping checklist. We want someone who notices when something doesn't make sense, researches it, asks good questions, and works toward a solution. Someone who is comfortable communicating directly with business owners, visiting client offices when needed, making phone calls, following up on outstanding items, and helping solve the day-to-day accounting issues that come with running a business. You won't be expected to know everything. You will be expected to be resourceful enough to try to find the answer.

You don't need to know every platform we encounter, but you should be comfortable researching, troubleshooting, and learning new technology. ServiceTitan experience is a strong plus, but is not required. Who Will Thrive Here You'll probably enjoy this position if you're the person who sees a problem and thinks, "Let me see if I can figure this out." You like having responsibility for your own clients. You don't need every next step spelled out for you. You're comfortable picking up the phone, talking with a client, researching an unfamiliar issue, and bringing possible solutions to the team. You also genuinely enjoy helping small business owners. Sometimes that means preparing a clean set of financial statements. Other times it means figuring out why something isn't working, answering an email, making a phone call, or helping a client improve a process. Opportunity to Grow This position can grow well beyond bookkeeping. For someone interested in advancing their accounting career, there are opportunities to develop into higher-level accounting, advisory, and CFO services. We're also a year-round tax firm.
