Full Charge Bookkeeper

Description

We are seeking a hands-on Full Charge Bookkeeper to support a growing organization with complex bookkeeping needs. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in cleanup and catch-up projects, can untangle messy books, and take ownership of the accounting process with minimal direction. The right person will have strong Quick Books expertise, experience managing multiple entities or clients, and a proven ability to reconcile accounts, correct historical discrepancies, and bring financial records up to date.

Experience setting up and improving accounting processes, managing high transaction volume environments, and maintaining accurate month-end reporting is highly preferred. Xero experience is a plus.

Responsibilities:

- Oversee bookkeeping activities across several client accounts at once, ensuring each file is maintained accurately and on schedule.

- Examine existing accounting records prepared by prior bookkeepers, clients, or external teams and correct errors, missing entries, and inconsistencies.

- Perform catch-up and cleanup work by rebuilding financial activity when documentation is incomplete or prior processes are unclear.

- Maintain monthly bookkeeping functions, including transaction recording, account reconciliation, and preparation of reliable financial data.

- Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and balance sheet accounts to support complete and accurate month-end close activities.

- Prepare profit and loss statements and other recurring financial reports for client review and internal tracking.

- Communicate directly with clients to gather missing documentation, clarify transaction details, and support accurate recordkeeping.

- Apply sound judgment to categorize expenses, income, rent activity, repairs, and other transactions appropriately within the general ledger.

- Work effectively in both Quick Books and Xero environments while managing deadlines and shifting client priorities independently.

Requirements - 3+ years of full charge bookkeeping experience, preferably in public accounting, client accounting services, or an outsourced bookkeeping environment.

- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple clients or multiple sets of books simultaneously; experience with bookkeeping cleanup projects is highly valued.

- Strong hands-on experience with Quick Books; familiarity with Xero is preferred.

- Solid background in bank reconciliations, monthly balance sheet reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close procedures.

- Ability to review inherited books, identify inaccuracies, investigate discrepancies, and determine root causes independently.

- Strong analytical skills with a high level of attention to detail and a process-oriented approach to work.

- Experience preparing monthly financial reports, including profit and loss statements, for small business or client-facing environments.

- Real estate industry exposure is a plus.
