The client is looking for an efficient, detail-oriented, and highly autonomous Bookkeeper. This role is responsible for executing accurate, end-to-end bookkeeping operations across a diverse roster of clients using QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop.

The ideal candidate demonstrates high functional efficiency, acute attention to detail, and independent problem-solving skills. The candidate must be comfortable taking full ownership of their portfolio, executing workflows strictly aligned with established procedures, and managing time effectively to meet rigid monthly accounting cycles.

  • System Matching & Rules: Leverage QBO auto-matching features, bank feeds, and automated rules to process routine transactions rapidly, maintaining an accelerated baseline speed without sacrificing precision.

  • Cost Code & Chart of Accounts: Ensure correct coding across specialized client accounts (including allowable vs. unallowable costs where applicable).

Account Reconciliation & Quality Assurance

  • Monthly Reconciliations: Perform complete monthly bank, credit card, and balance sheet reconciliations across all assigned client books.
  • Discrepancy Resolution: Rapidly identify, investigate, and clear un-reconciled items, uncleared transactions, or timing differences to deliver audit-ready financial statements on schedule.

Payroll Recording & Timesheet Management

  • Timesheet Administration: Accurately enter, review, and process client timesheets in a timely manner.
  • Payroll Accounting: Record complex monthly payroll journals, tax liabilities, and employee deductions accurately across multiple client accounts.

Process Compliance, Ownership & Communication

  • Self-Directed Workflow Mastery: Review, retain, and systematically apply established step-by-step training videos, SOPs, and client-specific workflows with minimal oversight.
  • Proactive & Concise Communication: Communicate directly and proactively with the firm owner. Formulate targeted, solution-oriented questions only after thoroughly reviewing available training documentation and resources.
  • End-to-End Ownership: Demonstrate confidence and proactive accountability for all assigned client files, ensuring deadlines, accuracy rates, and efficiency benchmarks are consistently met.

Performance Benchmarks & Expectations

  • Speed & Efficiency: Process and reconcile automated QBO transaction feeds within strict expected timeframes.
  • Resourcefulness: Exhaust all provided training videos, standard operating procedures, and reference materials prior to escalating inquiries.
  • Accuracy: Maintain an error-free ledger across all client accounts, ensuring numbers reconcile smoothly prior to manager review.

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Proven Experience: 3+ years of full-charge bookkeeping or accounting experience, preferably within a multi-client accounting firm or agency environment.
  • Software Mastery: Advanced proficiency in both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop.
  • High Efficiency: Demonstrated track record of processing high-volume transactions and reconciliations swiftly using system shortcuts and automation features.
