Bookkeeper | Client Services

Bookkeeper | Client Services

Abacus! is an independent, full-service accounting and advisory firm specializing in accounting and consulting services for businesses and individuals. Join a rapidly growing organization with a strategic vision and dynamic plan.

We are seeking a Bookkeeper – Client Services to join our Accounting Services team during a period of growth and transition. This role blends hands-on bookkeeping with core accounting responsibilities while supporting multiple clients in a public accounting environment.

This is a hands-on, high-accountability role. The environment is fast-paced and evolving. The right candidate will be comfortable managing multiple priorities, adapting to change, and contributing to stabilizing and improving processes.

This position is intentionally designed as a growth role. While the initial focus is on execution and accuracy, team members who demonstrate ownership, reliability, and strong client service skills may progress into a Senior role with increased responsibility for managing work, reviewing others' output, and working more directly with clients.

This role offers meaningful responsibility and exposure, but it is not a low-pressure or purely routine position.
