Ongoing Xero/Zoho Bookkeeping Support
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a reliable accountant who can step straight into my Xero ledger and keep the books running smoothly for several small- and medium-sized clients. Daily transaction coding, spotless bank and petty-cash reconciliations, and tidy supporting schedules for upcoming VAT returns are the core of the role.
Beyond the day-to-day, I’ll lean on you to:
• produce the working papers I’ll attach to each VAT filing,
• keep month-end close on schedule,
• gather backup for year-end audits and help me finalise the accounts, and
• feed accurate actuals into the rolling financial forecasts we prepare for management.
Bank reconciliations are the single most time-sensitive task, so I expect those to be fully up to date each week. Everything happens in Xero; if you’re comfortable with its standard add-ons (bank feeds, Hubdoc, etc.) you’ll feel at home right away.
You’ll be working remotely on your own laptop from a dedicated workspace, so good, consistent connectivity is a must. Strong attention to detail and a willingness to pick up new workflows quickly will set you up for success.
Deliverables I expect to receive:
1. Daily transaction postings and matched bank feeds in Xero.
2. Weekly bank and petty-cash reconciliation reports.
3. Monthly VAT support pack (transaction listings, reconciliations, and working papers).
4. Month-end close checklist completed and any adjusting journals posted by day 3.
5. Year-end audit folders compiled on request.
If you’ve spent the last couple of years juggling books for multiple clients and can show me clean, reconciling ledgers in Xero, let’s talk.
