Bookkeeper (Remote)

Job Type: Full-Time   Location: Remote - United States Only   Salary: $55,000 - $72,000 per year

Industry: Accounting / CPA Firm

About Us

We are a 13-person CPA firm serving a diverse client base across tax, accounting, and advisory. Our bookkeeping practice ranges from full accrual engagements to modified cash-basis books. We work collaboratively and take pride in delivering financial records our clients can actually rely on.

The Role

We need an experienced Bookkeeper who understands accounting -- not just data entry. You will manage books for multiple clients, own the month-end close process, and produce financial statements that are accurate and CPA-ready. You should be comfortable explaining the relationship between the balance sheet and income statement and working across both accrual and modified cash-basis engagements.

What You'll Do

• Maintain and reconcile the general ledger for multiple client entities
• Perform month-end close: account reconciliations, journal entries, trial balance review
• Process AP/AR, manage aging schedules, and apply payments
• Reconcile bank, credit card, and loan accounts monthly
• Record payroll entries and reconcile payroll liabilities
• Prepare supporting schedules for sales tax, 1099s, and other compliance items
• Deliver clean monthly financial statements (balance sheet, P&L, cash flow) ready for CPA review
• Communicate proactively with clients and internal CPAs on open items and discrepancies

What We're Looking For

• 3-5+ years of bookkeeping experience, ideally in a public accounting or multi-client setting
• Solid understanding of GAAP and the interplay between the balance sheet and income statement
• Experience with both full accrual and modified cash-basis accounting
• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online and/or Desktop
• Ability to juggle multiple client deadlines without dropping the ball
• Clear, professional communicator -- comfortable working with clients and CPAs remotely
• S.-based and legally authorized to work in the United States (required)

Nice to Have

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• AIPB Certified Bookkeeper or NACPB License
• Experience with fixed assets, depreciation entries, and deferred items

What We Offer

• $55,000 - $72,000 annually, commensurate with experience
• 100% remote -- work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Full-time, stable position with an established CPA firm
• Collaborative team that respects your expertise
• Exposure to a variety of industries and accounting challenges
• Support for continuing education and professional development

How to Apply

Submit your resume and a short cover letter (2-3 paragraphs) describing your bookkeeping background and how you approach month-end close. Tell us how you keep the balance sheet and income statement in sync. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
