Job Summary:
We are seeking at least two (FTE) detail-oriented and reliable bookkeepers to manage a large portfolio of client company accounts.

4. Strong knowledge of bookkeeping and accounting principles, practices, and standards
5. Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
6. Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet critical, regular deadlines
7. Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Work Environment:
