Prepare and process journal entries, adjust accruals, and finalize month-end close procedures for clients.

Tax Preparation Support:

Clean up client ledgers, tie out balance sheets, and prepare accurate workpapers to ensure a seamless handoff to our tax team for tax return preparation.

Client Communication:

Act as the primary bookkeeping contact for your clients. Proactively reach out to request missing documents, clarify ambiguous transactions, and answer basic financial questions.

Payroll & Compliance:

Process payroll for select clients using platforms like Gusto or ADP, and assist in preparing and filing local sales tax and 1099 reports.

Software Management:

Setup, onboard, and manage client files in QuickBooks Online and Xero.

Office Duties:

Help with various basic office duties.

Preferred Qualifications Experience:

3+ years of bookkeeping experience. (Experience working in a CPA firm, accounting practice, or bookkeeping agency managing multiple clients is highly preferred).

Software Proficiency:

Knowledge of QuickBooks Online and Xero.

Accounting Knowledge:

Strong understanding of basic accounting.

Professional Communication:

Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable speaking directly with business owners and maintaining a professional, helpful demeanor.

Pay:

$20.00 - $30.00 per hour
