Part-Time Accounting & Payroll
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
My small business is growing and I need reliable part-time help to stay ahead of the numbers. Day-to-day bookkeeping in Zoho Books comes first: coding expenses, matching bank feeds, and keeping every account fully reconciled so I always have an up-to-date view of cash flow.
I also want quarterly and year-end tax preparation handled smoothly—sales tax filings, estimated tax calculations, and the working papers my CPA will ask for. Clear financial reporting is equally important; I expect accurate monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash-flow statements pulled directly from Zoho Books so I can make informed decisions.
On the payroll side, you’ll run bi-weekly payroll, submit direct deposits, and ensure benefit and other deductions are entered correctly. I already have the pay schedules and benefit tables; what I need is someone meticulous about deadlines and compliance.
Deliverables
• All transactions in Zoho Books posted and reconciled by the 5th business day each month
• Bi-weekly payroll processed on schedule with benefits and deductions applied accurately
• Monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash-flow reports delivered in PDF and Excel
• Quarterly tax estimates and annual tax package, ready for my CPA
Acceptance criteria
• Zero unreconciled transactions older than 30 days
• Payroll processed with 100 % accuracy on gross pay, taxes, and deductions
• Financial statements tie out to bank and credit-card balances within a 0.5 % variance
If you know Zoho Books inside out and have a track record of dependable bookkeeping, tax prep, and payroll execution, this ongoing part-time arrangement should be a perfect fit.
