Job description

Our goal at Specialized Accounting

is to partner with passionate business owners by specializing in the books, so that they can focus on what they do best: growing their businesses. We are looking to hire a Bookkeeping Specialist team member for a long-term remote position, working 25-30 hours per week (5-6 hours per day).

This position is remote with a part-time schedule, primarily between 9:00 am - 5:00 pm CT, and must be your first priority in terms of work/employment. You will be unable to work full-time elsewhere and satisfactorily complete the duties required of this position (i.e., it's not a side hustle).

The role demands availability that aligns with our team's operational needs, including meetings, collaborative projects, and client interactions during business hours. While we value flexibility, fixed availability periods cannot be accommodated due to real-time response needs.

Responsibilities include:

• Assisting clients with managing their accounting needs such as data input, bank and credit card reconciliations, revenue recognition, and POS data extraction.
• Communicating with clients and answering procedural questions.
• Developing a sense of ownership of client accounts.
• Calculating and entering month-end accruals and adjusting entries.
• Updating documentation and performing quarterly process reviews.
• Other duties as assigned.

Requirements:

• High customer service orientation, attention to detail, and multitasking ability.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Problem-solving skills and willingness to learn new programs.
• Proficiency with technology, including Microsoft Office/365.
• Dedicated secure internet connection (or willingness to obtain one).
• Strong customer service skills, professional interaction via video/audio tools.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision.
• Located in the United States or Canada.
• Willingness to travel to semi-annual in-person team retreats.

Preferred experience with QuickBooks Online, receipt software, Teams, Excel, Keeper, and Gusto. We seek candidates with ninja customer service skills, empathy, organization, problem-solving abilities, and a humble, hungry, and smart attitude.

What we value:

• Accuracy and Speed
• Continuous Improvement
• Fun
• Attention to Detail
• Honesty & Integrity
• Flexibility and willingness to learn

Who we are:

A small, growing team dedicated to helping entrepreneurs succeed. We work hard, enjoy humor, and appreciate cheesy 80s music and quotes from The Princess Bride and Scrubs. If you're serious and humorless, this isn't the place for you.

This position will grow to 25-30 hours/week after the probationary period. You must work primarily during business hours (9:00 am-5:00 pm CT) and be generally available week-to-week. We offer a bonus program and 401(k). Computer and IT services are provided and managed by Specialized Accounting.
