Budget: $8 – $15 USD
Are you:
- Experienced in accrual accounting for small businesses in the US?
- Very organized?
- Able to work well independently?
- Eager to join an exciting startup?
If so, this opportunity is for you!
BooksTime is looking for a great accountant / bookkeeper to join our growing team (100% remote).
===============
WHO WE ARE:
BooksTime is a growing bookkeeping startup based in the US with offices in Europe and the Philippines (see bookstime.com).
Note: we don't provide tax or audit services.
===============
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
As a Bookkeeper / Accountant, you'll handle:
1. Clean-ups and set-ups for new clients:
When a new client signs up with our firm, you'll
- Review their books, identify clean-up needs and provide time estimates
- If they don't have books yet, you'll set them up from scratch
- Make a plan for how the ongoing bookkeeping should work, and implement that plan
2. Ongoing services for existing clients:
You'll help with:
- Recording & categorizing transactions
- Reconciling accounts
- Month-end closing
- Communicating with clients, dealing with questions, and setting expectations proactively
Most bookkeeping is done on accrual method in QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop, with some Xero clients as well.
===============
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS:
EXPERIENCED. At least 5 years required (10-20 preferred). We need an accountant who has managed end-to-end accounting for multiple different small companies in the US.
The ideal candidate may have had titles like: Accounting Manager, Controller, Senior Accountant, Full Charge Bookkeeper, etc.
HIGHLY ORGANIZED. You need to juggle multiple clients with different services and coordinate the work of a diverse team of bookkeepers.
FLUENT. English fluency (at least in writing) is required.
TECH-SAVVY. You'll need to be good at figuring out new systems and apps. Excel expertise preferred. QBO or QuickBooks Desktop experience is required. Experience with other accounting software, such as Xero or NetSuite, is not required, but would definitely be a big plus.
A FAST LEARNER. Every client has a different set of software, processes, requirements, etc., so each new client is a learning experience. We need someone flexible, who feels very comfortable diving in and figuring things out independently (though there will always be people who can help!). If you're at your happiest maintaining a well-established process that someone else designed, it's not the ideal role for you. If you love looking for creative solutions to new problems all the time, we want you!
EVEN-KEELED. You'll need to keep calm, while handling a wide variety of clients at once, including all sorts of industries, software, and personalities.
===============
WHY JOIN BOOKSTIME:
MAKE HISTORY. We have big plans to disrupt the accounting and bookkeeping industry. This is a great opportunity to get in early at a startup that is on its way to becoming an industry leader.
DO WORK THAT MATTERS. The projects you'll be working on will be critical to the success of the company and our clients.
GROW WITH THE COMPANY. As our company continues to grow, there will be many opportunities to take on new responsibilities and grow professionally.
WORK THAT STAYS FRESH. You'll have with a portfolio of 10-40 clients in a broad range of industries, all with different software, goals and personality types. There will always be tons of opportunities to learn new things. Plus, given the pace of change at our growing startup, we can pretty much guarantee that you'll never be bored.
CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT. We're always pushing to do better. We can't wait to hear your ideas about how we can do better. If you're looking for a role that gives you ample opportunity to make a big impact -- you've found it!
SCHEDULE:
Ideally, you can work approx. 9am to 2pm Eastern Time each weekday. The rest of your hours can be more flexible.
Both Full-Time & Part-Time are available. All roles start part-time at first.
