    Description

    We're looking for a detail-oriented part-time bookkeeper to help us keep client books current, accurate, and audit-ready — across a client mix that includes nonprofit organizations as well as for-profit professional services and retail businesses.

    About us

    We're a CPA practice providing full-service accounting and bookkeeping to a mix of nonprofit and for-profit clients. Our team works entirely in QuickBooks Online and operates fully virtually, so this role can be done from anywhere with a reliable internet connection.

    Engagement type

    This is a remote position engaged as an independent contractor (1099), not an employee — part-time to start. For the right fit, there's long-term potential to grow into a full-time employee role down the road, though there's no obligation on either side.

    About the role

    A few months in, success in this role looks like a portfolio of client accounts where the bank feed queue is worked promptly, reconciliations close on schedule every month, AP and AR are current, and payroll entries are processed accurately and on time — freeing up our senior accountants to focus on review and advisory work instead of data entry.

    What you'll do

    • Review and code QuickBooks Online bank feed transactions (the bank queue) across a portfolio of clients
    • Complete monthly bank and credit card reconciliations
    • Enter and maintain accounts payable and accounts receivable
    • Process payroll entries in QuickBooks Online
    • Flag exceptions or unusual transactions for senior staff review
    • Keep organized, up-to-date records for each client engagement
