What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on, can-do attitude with the ability to work independently
• Strong knowledge of bookkeeping, payroll support, and full-cycle accounting
• Comfortable preparing files for tax season and supporting the final CPA review
• Proficient in QuickBooks and Pearl (a plus if they have PeachTree, but not needed (Sage 50))
• Experience with personal and business taxes
• Candidate must have access to a quiet, professional remote setup and use their own equipment
