Bookkeeping Auditor

About the Opportunity

We are looking for a detail-oriented, analytical, and highly organized Bookkeeping Auditor to help ensure the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of our financial records.
In this role, you’ll review bookkeeping entries, financial transactions, invoices, receipts, expense records, and reconciliations to identify errors, inconsistencies, missing documentation, and potential issues. You’ll help maintain accurate financial records by verifying that transactions are properly recorded, supporting documents are complete, and discrepancies are identified and addressed.

This position is ideal for someone with a sharp eye for detail, a strong understanding of bookkeeping principles, and the ability to investigate financial discrepancies rather than simply flagging them. We’re looking for someone who takes ownership of their work and understands the importance of accuracy, consistency, and confidentiality.

• Verify that previously identified issues have been corrected and do not continue to recur.

Reporting & Documentation

• Prepare clear reports summarizing audit findings, identified discrepancies, corrections needed, and unresolved issues.
• Maintain organized records of completed reviews, supporting documents, and corrective actions.
• Track outstanding audit findings and follow up with responsible team members.
• Provide management with accurate information regarding financial record quality and recurring bookkeeping issues.
• Ensure audit trails are maintained so transactions and adjustments can be traced and reviewed when necessary.

Confidentiality & Professional Standards

• Handle financial records, banking information, and sensitive business data with strict confidentiality.
• Follow established financial procedures, documentation requirements, and access controls.
• Maintain objectivity and accuracy when reviewing financial information.
• Ensure findings are supported by verifiable records and documented evidence.
• Exercise sound judgment when identifying issues that require further investigation or escalation.
