Bookkeeper

We are looking for a detail-oriented Bookkeeper to join a CPA firm in a contract capacity with the potential to become permanent. This position begins on a part-time basis and is expected to expand to regular hours during tax season, offering a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys both routine bookkeeping and seasonal tax support. The role is best suited to someone who can build trust through in-office collaboration at the outset, communicate confidently with clients, and maintain accurate financial records across multiple accounts and business types.

Responsibilities:

• Manage day-to-day bookkeeping activities for a portfolio of client accounts, ensuring transactions are recorded accurately and on schedule.
• Complete bank and account reconciliations, maintain balance sheet accuracy, and support a timely month-end close process.
• Prepare financial records and supporting documentation so statements are organized, complete, and ready for review.
• Work directly with clients to answer bookkeeping questions, gather needed information, and provide clear updates on account status.
• Handle sales tax filings for annual and quarterly reporting obligations across assigned clients.
• Support both business and individual tax season workflows by organizing financial data and assisting with return preparation activities.
• Use QuickBooks and office-based desktop accounting systems to maintain books for clients with varying system environments.
• Contribute during heavier tax planning periods by helping track financial standing, identify needed actions, and assemble information that supports tax impact discussions.
• Process core transactional work such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll entries, and data input as needed.
