Description

Our client is seeking a Bookkeeper who doesn't just enter numbers-you understand why the numbers matter.

The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in accounting and can confidently work with debits and credits, reconcile accounts, and identify discrepancies before they become problems. If you're someone who learns quickly, enjoys solving problems, and wants to be a key member of a growing team, we'd love to meet you.

Responsibilities

+ Manage day-to-day bookkeeping activities

+ Record and post journal entries accurately

+ Maintain the general ledger

+ Perform bank and credit card reconciliations

+ Process Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable

+ Assist with month-end close

+ Investigate and resolve accounting discrepancies

+ Support the accounting team with reporting and special projects

Requirements

+ Strong understanding of accounting principles, including debits and credits

+ Previous bookkeeping or accounting experience

+ Ability to learn new systems and processes quickly

+ Detail-oriented with excellent organizational skills

+ Self-motivated and able to work independently

+ Strong communication and problem-solving skills

+ Proficiency in Excel; experience with accounting software is a plus

This position is perfect for someone who has a genuine understanding of accounting-not someone who simply enters transactions. The client will value people who can think critically, ask questions, recognize when something doesn't look right, and pick up new concepts quickly. If you're eager to grow and take ownership of your work, you'll thrive here.

If you're looking for an opportunity where your accounting knowledge and ability to learn will be recognized and valued, we'd love to hear from you.
