Bookkeeping / Accounting / Keeping Me Organized!
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
have multiple entities (a couple LLCs, an S-Corp, and a Corporation) for various investments that we make in the US and Canada. This will be an ongoing contract with likely a monthly check-in. What I am looking for:
1) Bookkeeping/Accounting - reconciling bank transactions into Quickbooks on a monthly basis. You would be given read only access to our bank accounts. Some transactions related to loans, and forward contracts where payments vary based upon realized prices of certain commodities would need to be booked. Combined across all entities, perhaps 20 transactions per month. We have no payroll and no sales tax calculations, just some expenses, K-1s and the loans and forward contracts mentioned above. This would ideally roll up into monthly income statement, balance sheet, and potentially cashflow statement.
2) Preparing for Tax Time - We use an accounting firm to file our taxes, but would like to provide them with everything they need to make the filing to make this super simple for them (I want to earn a gold star for most prepared client :-) By keeping the books, this should get us 90% of the way there, but no doubt there are a few other schedules, or spreadsheets that we may need to provide them.
3) State Filing Requirements - Ensure that we are keeping on top of paying Annual Fees for LLCs, filing Information Statements, and resolving unpaid filings. States which we file annual information statements or annual fees with California and Delaware. We are also involved passively in businesses in Illinois and Texas - do we need to file anything in these states? You'll help me figure it out and ideally help me make those filings. This also might include calling the California Franchise Tax Board or other similar entities to ensure we have filed what we need to file (my definition of fun is calling the California FTB!)
I am looking for the following traits in a bookkeeper/accountant:
1) Responsible, Highly Organized, Self Starter - I need someone who is responsive, detail oriented, and proactive. One of the first activities would likely be setting up a calendar in Outlook for us to speak on a monthly basis, and also keep track of our filing obligation dates.
2) Skilled - Has deep experience in the above requirements of the job, and willingness to learn.
3) Personable - Friendly to work with! Hopefully you will find me to be the same :-)
Please send a cover letter addressing your experience and qualifications that relate to the above requirements. I look forward to hearing from you!
