Bookkeeping Associate

**Overview** I'm a growing small business looking for a detail\-oriented Bookkeeping Associate to join me on a part\-time, remote basis. As my business grows, workload can spike with demand, and hours will range from a minimum of 8 hours/week up to 40 hours/week depending on business needs. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to grow with me, with room for raises and promotion as I expand. I work primarily with neurodivergent, queer, and disabled business owners, and I deeply value the relationships I build with my clients. My work is grounded in removing or reducing shame, guilt, and fear from finances. For a lot of my clients, money has been tangled up with a lifetime of judgment, misunderstanding, or systems that weren't built with them in mind. I aim to be someone they can talk to who actually understands the intricacies of how neurodivergence, queerness, and disability intersect with finances and running a business. I'm looking for someone who shares that same care and understanding. Someone who can bring both technical bookkeeping skill and genuine empathy to the work, and who wants to help build a practice where clients feel safe, seen, and supported around their money. I welcome applicants of all backgrounds, including neurodivergent folks (autistic, ADHD, and others). **Responsibilities** *Core Bookkeeping* * Categorize financial transactions * Perform account reconciliations * Prepare and post journal entries * Generate financial reports (P\&L, balance sheet, etc.) * Assist with basic accounts payable/receivable tasks, including invoicing and following up via email on outstanding payments *Client Onboarding \& Setup* * Support new client onboarding, including setting up shared folders, updating the CRM, and setting up new clients in accounting software (QuickBooks, etc.) * Organize and maintain digital client files and records for easy retrieval *Ongoing Client Support* * Track filing and payment deadlines for clients (e.g., quarterly taxes, payroll dates) * Light client email communication, including answering routine questions or requesting missing documentation * Complete ad hoc projects as needed (data cleanup, tracking sheets, custom reports, etc.) *Internal/Administrative* * Maintain and update internal checklists, templates, or SOPs as processes evolve * Track your own hours/time entries for billing purposes **Qualifications** * Basic bookkeeping education or hands\-on experience * Familiarity with accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, Wave, Xero) a plus * Comfortable with repetitive, detail\-heavy spreadsheet work. Much of this role involves steady, methodical data entry and review, and staying accurate through that kind of work matters more to me than speed. * Some familiarity with pivot tables, or a willingness to learn them quickly. I'm happy to provide training if you haven't used them before. * **Accuracy**: My clients trust me with their numbers, so getting the details right really matters to me
