Bookkeeper

This contract position with permanent potential is ideal for someone with a strong foundation in accounting and public accounting experience who enjoys working across a range of client accounts.

• Perform detailed account, bank, and balance sheet reconciliations to identify issues and keep books current and audit-ready.
• Assist with preparation of business tax documentation and filings for entities such as S corporations and partnerships.
• Handle accounts payable and accounts receivable functions, including tracking transactions and following up on outstanding items when needed.
• Review and clean up bookkeeping records involving more advanced or unusual transactions, providing a stronger financial picture for clients and internal stakeholders.
• Work closely with senior accounting staff and business owners to deliver customized accounting support and help distribute workloads throughout the year.
• Contribute to tax planning support, including assisting with projections and other seasonal accounting needs for a variety of clients.
• Use accounting platforms such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, Oracle, and SAP to manage records, reporting, and financial workflows. Requirements
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a closely related field.
• Prior public accounting experience supporting business clients in a client-focused services environment.
• Demonstrated experience with year-end close activities and preparation of financial records for multiple entities.
• Working knowledge of tax preparation support for business structures such as S corporations and partnerships.
• Strong understanding of accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger activity, journal entries, and bank reconciliations.
• Proficiency with at least one or more accounting systems such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, Oracle, or SAP.
• Ability to communicate effectively, collaborate across shared client work, and thrive in a highly team-oriented setting.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to organize and prioritize work across a customized, service-driven client portfolio.
