About the Role
We’re looking for a reliable, detail-driven bookkeeper to take full ownership of the books for the client, a US-based small business. You’ll manage recurring bookkeeping on your own with minimal training and supervision, and you’ll be the person who spots problems before they become problems.
What You’ll Do
- Handle full-cycle bookkeeping for a US small business
- Complete monthly bank, credit card, and clearing account reconciliations
- Process payroll and 401(k) contributions, running payroll at least one week in advance
- Manage accounts payable and bill pay, including non-routine invoices and expenses
- Deliver cash flow reports twice monthly (1st business day and the 15th), anticipating upcoming expenses
- Monitor the accounting inbox and email, track payments, and follow up proactively
- Send reliable daily and end-of-week updates
Must-Haves
- Proven full-cycle bookkeeping experience with US-based small businesses
- Hands-on payroll and 401(k) processing experience (non-negotiable)
- Strong monthly reconciliation experience (bank, credit card, clearing accounts)
- Experience managing AP and bill pay beyond routine items
- Comfort owning recurring tasks without constant follow-up
Software
- QuickBooks Online, including QBO Bill Pay
- Stripe (payout reconciliation)
- Acodei (QuickBooks and Stripe integration)
- G&A PEO (payroll and benefits)
- LastPass (password vault management)
How We Work
This client values consistency and quality over the long term. You’ll thrive here if you:
- Communicate proactively and keep updates reliable
- Acknowledge issues and act on them promptly
- Give advance notice of absences, delays, or availability concerns, especially around payroll deadlines
- Take real ownership and anticipate problems
