Experienced Bookkeeper / Staff Accountant

We're looking for an experienced bookkeeper or staff accountant to join a small accounting practice and take ownership of day-to-day client bookkeeping work. This is a real accounting role — not a general VA position — and we're looking for someone who can work independently, apply solid accounting judgment, and deliver clean, well-reviewed work. If you have a strong bookkeeping background and enjoy working through a client file from start to finish, this could be a great fit.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Complete weekly transaction categorization and coding in QuickBooks Online, including matching receipts and preparing expense reports for owner review.
• Independently perform bank and credit card reconciliations across client accounts, investigate discrepancies, resolve routine issues, and bring a clear summary of anything that needs higher-level review.
• Support month-end close, including balance sheet account review, P&L reasonableness review, and basic adjusting journal entry preparation.
• Self-review your own work before submitting — identify exceptions, note where judgment was used, and flag only the items that genuinely require the owner's approval.
• Track and follow up on outstanding client documents needed to keep bookkeeping workflows moving, such as receipts, statements, and source records.
• Support the billing cycle through invoice preparation and payment follow-up, within defined scope and without authority to change pricing or approve adjustments.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of hands-on bookkeeping or accounting experience — this is a firm requirement for this role.
• Prior experience at a bookkeeping firm, CPA firm, CAS practice, or similar environment where you've worked across multiple client files is strongly preferred.
• Strong QuickBooks Online experience well beyond basic navigation — you should be comfortable using it daily across the full range of bookkeeping tasks.
• The ability to investigate an issue, apply reasonable accounting judgment, and come back with a recommended treatment rather than simply flagging everything for review.
• Solid understanding of accounting fundamentals — debits and credits, reconciliation logic, transaction categorization, and basic financial statement review.
• Experience with clean-up bookkeeping or identifying unusual and incorrect balances is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail, good self-review habits, and a reliable, organized approach to managing client files.
• Strong written and spoken English — you'll be communicating directly with the owner to report on status, ask questions, and summarize your work.
• Discretion with confidential financial data is essential.

SCHEDULE & PAY

• Full-time: 40 hours per week
• Hours: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM Pacific Time
• Pay: $5.00 per hour

BENEFITS

• 10 days paid time off
• Health benefits
• High-speed internet stipend
