eCommerce Bookkeeper (Contract)

**Job Overview** We're a U.S. manufacturer of premium home products, selling through our own website, a national home improvement retailer, and Amazon. We're looking for an experienced eCommerce bookkeeper to keep our multi\-channel books clean, accurate, and ready for our accountant. This is a **1099 contract role**, not an employee position. You'd work remotely on your own schedule, using your own equipment, and you'd invoice us for your time. We're looking for someone who already runs a bookkeeping practice and takes pride in accuracy and follow\-through. **Hours and Scope** This is a **small, ongoing engagement — roughly 5–8 hours per month** once the books are current. Initial catch\-up work will take more time at first. We'll begin with a paid test project covering one to two months of Amazon activity in QuickBooks Desktop: entering fees, returns, refunds, and other adjustments, then reconciling everything to the deposits. If it's a good fit for both of us, the work grows to include: * Ongoing Amazon bookkeeping and reconciliation * Online sales and payout matching * Entering retail orders * Sales tax support (a plus, not required) **Our Setup** * QuickBooks Desktop, cash basis * Qbox for remote file sharing * Webgility syncing Amazon and Website orders **What You'll Need** * U.S.\-based * 5\+ years of bookkeeping experience, with a strong eCommerce background * Strong, hands\-on QuickBooks Desktop experience (not only QuickBooks Online) * Proven experience recording and reconciling Amazon activity, including sales, fees, returns, refunds, and deposits * Experience matching Shopify payouts * Highly accurate tracking of every Amazon and Shopify fee * Solid understanding of cash\-basis accounting * Dependable, proactive communicator who keeps careful notes **Nice to Have** * Webgility experience * Qbox or other shared Desktop file experience * Xero experience * Sales tax experience, including marketplace facilitator sales * Experience with product or manufacturing businesses **How We Work** * Everyone has their own logins and permissions. * We value clear notes: what you found, what you changed, and why. * We're hiring an individual, not an agency or firm. The person we hire is the person doing the work. **To Apply** Please begin your message with the word **"Ledger"** so we know you've read the full posting. Then include: * A few sentences on your QuickBooks Desktop and Amazon bookkeeping experience * Which of these you've used: Webgility, Qbox, Xero, Shopify * Your process for recording Amazon activity: Do you enter fees and returns per transaction or as a monthly summary? Why? How do you confirm everything ties to the deposits? * Your hourly rate and availability We look forward to hearing from you. Pay: $35\.00 \- $38\.00 per hour Expected hours: 5\.0 – 8\.0 per week Benefits: * Flexible schedule Application Question(s): * Do you have hands\-on experience with QuickBooks Desktop (not only QuickBooks Online)?
