**Junior Bookkeeper / Bookkeeping Assistant (Growth\-Focused Role)** In\-Office \| Full\-Time \| Not Remote ***Build on Your Accounting Experience. We'll Help You Build the Rest.*** Do you have some experience in accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, payroll, bookkeeping support, or another accounting\-related role, but want the opportunity to learn more? You may be exactly who we're looking for. BH Bookkeepers is looking for a Bookkeeping Assistant with a basic accounting foundation who wants to develop their skills and grow into a well\-rounded small\-business bookkeeper. We don't expect you to know everything. In fact, we expect there to be gaps, that's what we'll help teach you. You may know how to enter or code transactions but not completely understand *why* they're coded a certain way. You may have processed accounts payable but never reconciled a bank account. You may have worked in accounting software but never been responsible for the complete books of a business. That's okay. We're looking for someone who already understands some of the pieces. We'll help you learn how those pieces fit together. This is not a position for someone starting completely from scratch, nor is it intended for an experienced full\-charge bookkeeper. It's a developmental support role for someone with some real\-world accounting experience who is ready to take the next step. **What the Role Really Looks Like** This is first and foremost a Bookkeeping Assistant position. A significant part of your day will involve the foundational work that keeps our clients' books accurate and our bookkeeping team moving efficiently.

As you demonstrate accuracy, efficiency, reliability, and a stronger understanding of the *why* behind the work, you'll have opportunities to take on reconciliations, more complex bookkeeping responsibilities, and eventually a small portfolio of entry\-level clients. **What You Will Be Doing** *Bookkeeping and Data Entry* Process \& record transactions in QuickBooks Prepare and organize client files for bookkeepers Assist with cleanup projects and historical data entry Retrieve bank, credit card, payroll, and other financial statements and supporting documentation Perform bank and credit card reconciliations as your skills develop Learn how transactions flow through a company's financial statements Gradually take responsibility for additional bookkeeping tasks and entry\-level clients as you grow *Payroll Support* Process payroll and assist with payroll\-related tasks Enter and review payroll data accurately and on time Support payroll reporting and compliance tasks Learn how payroll transactions affect a client's books *Administrative Support* Answer and route phone calls professionally Greet and assist clients and visitors Help keep the
