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.
