You're the person clients never have to chase

We're hiring a Full-Time Senior Bookkeeper to own a portfolio of client accounts, from AP and AR through month-end close, keeping every client's books accurate, current, and ready for the decisions they need to make. You will report to our Bookkeeping Manager and work as part of a collaborative team of bookkeepers, reviewing their closes through QA and helping raise the standard for the whole team.

As our Senior Bookkeeper, you are the person clients never have to chase. You catch the uncategorized transaction before month-end, ask the question before it becomes a problem, and give and receive feedback to keep the whole team growing into even more badass bookkeepers.

Ideal candidates do far more than data entry. If you are strategic, think about clients' books through an accounting lens and always look for ways to make them run smoother and more efficiently, this may be the place for you. That's what makes us badass (not basic!) bookkeepers.

Bring your adaptability and curiosity. We're a growing firm, and we'll set you up for success as things evolve. We are always testing new tools and building better processes, and AI is a real part of how we work now. We nerd out with clients over their balance sheet.

BBA Bookkeeping is a professional, personable, and fun-loving virtual bookkeeping firm that goes beyond the numbers. We're on a mission to build a remote team and business that is, simply, an amazing place to work.

As a team, we thrive on collaboration, testing out the latest tech in bookkeeping, and a healthy dose of memes in our #water cooler Slack channel. We foster an inclusive and supportive work environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to succeed. We proudly align with the LGBTQIA+ community and celebrate being a women-owned business, not as buzzwords, but as values that guide how we show up every day.
