Virtual Assistant – Accounting & Bookkeeping Support (Long‑Term Growth Role)

I run a very small, boutique financial practice offering tax preparation and bookkeeping services. I am looking for one reliable, detail‑oriented person who is open to growing with me as the practice expands. You will work closely alongside me as my assistant, helping me stay organized and supporting me with day‑to‑day bookkeeping and tax preparation tasks. I will give you clear instructions for each task, and we will slowly build our systems and workflow together. I am open to establishing a schedule that works well for both of us. I am looking for someone who is trustworthy, communicates well, and is comfortable working closely with me. The starting pay is $8–$12/hour depending on experience, with increases based on performance and growth in the role.

Examples of tasks include:

Entering checks and bank transactions into QuickBooks Online

Completing monthly reconciliations in QuickBooks

Copying sales journals (paper) into organized Excel spreadsheets

Helping me create Excel spreadsheets as workpapers or deliverables for clients

Assisting with data entry and organization inside Tax software (Drake Tax Online)

Working closely with me to stay organized by tracking client deadlines, including monthly payroll submissions, quarterly sales tax filings, and other required New York and federal due dates. You do not need to know these deadlines already — I will teach you the schedule, and you will help me stay on top of it.
