About Us
We provide bookkeeping, accounting and tax support to businesses and accounting firms across North America. We're growing and looking for a detail-oriented bookkeeper who are comfortable being the day-to-day point of contact for clients.
About the Role
This is a client-heavy role. You'll maintain books for multiple clients in QuickBooks Online, and a large part of your day will involve communicating with clients by email, calls and messaging: requesting documents, clarifying transactions, sharing reports and following up on open items. You'll work US/Canada Eastern hours so you can respond to clients in real time.
Key Responsibilities
Client Communication & Relationship Management
Act as the primary day-to-day contact for assigned clients via email, calls and video meetings.
Request and follow up on missing documents, receipts, bank statements and transaction explanations.
Explain monthly reports and open items to clients in clear, simple language.
Manage client queries promptly and professionally, escalating complex accounting or tax matters to senior staff.
Keep client trackers and communication logs up to date so nothing falls through the cracks.
Bookkeeping & Transaction Processing
Maintain accurate books in QuickBooks Online for multiple clients.
Review, categorize and post bank and credit-card transactions.
Record deposits and payment-processor payouts (Stripe, Square, Shopify, PayPal, etc.) and match them to bank activity.
Enter customer invoices and vendor bills, and apply payments accurately.
Maintain organized supporting documentation for all transactions.
AR, AP & Reconciliations
Maintain AR and AP aging and flag overdue balances to clients and management.
Reconcile bank, credit-card and merchant accounts monthly, and investigate discrepancies.
Prepare unpaid-bill reports for client approval.
Month-End Close & Reporting
Support a consistent monthly close for each assigned client.
Prepare P&L, Balance Sheet, AR/AP aging and cash reports.
Review balance-sheet accounts for stale, duplicate or unsupported balances.
Maintain month-end checklists and document outstanding items.
Sales Tax & Compliance Support
Assist with GST/HST or US sales-tax tracking and reconciliation.
Prepare schedules and records requested by tax preparers and senior accountants.
Track recurring filing and payment deadlines for assigned clients.
Process & Documentation
Maintain recurring-task checklists and client SOPs.
Suggest process improvements, automation or AI-assisted workflows that save time without compromising accuracy or confidentiality.
Requirements
2 years of hands-on bookkeeping or accounting experience.
Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online (must-have).
Native or near-native English fluency, written and spoken; you'll be speaking with North American clients daily.
Confident, professional communicator who is comfortable on client calls.
Solid understanding of accounting fundamentals (accruals, reconciliations, AR/AP, month-end close).
Highly organized, able to manage multiple clients and deadlines at once.
Able to work EST hours consistently (9:00 AM EST start).
Reliable internet connection and a quiet home workspace.
Nice to Have
Exposure to Canadian or US clients.
Experience with Xero, Dext, Hubdoc or payroll software.
Degree in Commerce/Accounting, or pursuing CA/CMA/ACCA/CPA.
What We Offer
Fully remote role.
Exposure to international clients across diverse industries.
