We are a small manufacturing company looking for an experienced bookkeeper/accounting professional to take ownership of day-to-day accounting, payroll, reconciliations, and month-end reporting.

Our immediate priority is straightforward:

get the accounting caught up, keep it accurate, and keep it current. There is hands on bookkeeping work to be done, and we need someone who is comfortable working through the details and taking ownership of the books. Over time, we also want to improve how the work gets done. We are interested in reducing unnecessary manual entry, improving integrations between systems, and using automation and AI where they genuinely make sense. This is a part-time position with significant scheduling flexibility. Our business operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and weekend hours may also be available. We are primarily interested in finding the right person rather than requiring a specific daily schedule.

We want someone who will ask questions such as: Why are we entering this information twice? Can this report be generated automatically? Can these transactions be imported instead of manually entered? Can this reconciliation be reduced to reviewing exceptions? Can information move directly between our systems? Can OCR, LLM, or another tool help classify, summarize, validate, or flag transactions for review? Can a recurring month-end task be standardized or automated? Can we eliminate this spreadsheet entirely? Systems We Use QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop Amazon, Newegg, OrderDesk, and our company website/e-commerce channels PayPal and other payment platforms Internal proprietary web-based MRP system Because we control our internal MRP system, there are opportunities to improve integrations, reporting, data exports, and accounting workflows rather than being limited entirely to off-the-shelf software.
