Job description

Part-Time Staff Accountant, Month-End Close (QuickBooks Online, Remote)

20 to 30 hours a week

$28 to $30 an hour

You close books and find what's wrong. You fix it before anyone asks.

Cornerstone Accounting Solutions serves small businesses across coastal Georgia. Our processes are documented, our systems are built, and the work is steady all year. We're looking for an accountant who takes pride in turning in clean, complete closes on time, every time.

What you'll do

Own monthly cash-basis closes for a book of established clients: bank and card reconciliations, Shopify and Square tie-outs, payroll reconciliations, and sales tax filings.

What we're looking for

A degree in accounting, or equivalent experience.

Multi-client month-end close experience in QuickBooks Online.

Someone who ties to the source before calling anything done.

Someone who solves problems and brings a recommendation, not just a question.

What you get

Flexible hours around firm deadlines, clear SOPs and playbooks, AI tools built into the workflow, and a team that values ownership over hand-holding.

How many clients have you closed monthly at the same time?

Tell us about the last reconciliation that didn't tie. What did you check, and what was it?

Finalists complete a paid skills assessment.
