Role Overview - Click here for extended job details

The Senior Bookkeeper serves as a stabilizing presence within the client delivery team. This role combines hands-on accounting execution with operational ownership and team support.

You will manage financial workflows across multiple clients, maintain consistency and quality across engagements, and support Bookkeepers in navigating day-to-day work. You’ll partner closely with the Controller while also acting as a point of continuity for both clients and internal team members.

This is not an entry-level role. It requires strong technical accounting skills, sound professional judgment, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with minimal oversight.

Our clients trust us with their finances. Mistakes happen. What matters is that accountability, rigor, and consistency stay at the core of your work. As a senior member of the team, you’re expected to model that standard, not just meet it.

How This Role Operates

• You manage multiple client workflows simultaneously and are responsible for maintaining accuracy, organization, and continuity across them
• You proactively identify issues, inconsistencies, or risks and surface them early rather than waiting for direction
• You balance independent execution with collaboration, keeping both team members and leadership informed when needed
• You support Bookkeepers in their work by offering guidance, answering questions, and helping them move forward
• You are comfortable working within evolving systems and processes and can adapt as client needs shift
• You take ownership of your work and follow through on details without needing close supervision

Core Responsibilities

Client Financial Workflows

• Manage accounting processes across multiple client engagements using Xero and QuickBooks Online
• Perform reconciliations, financial reviews, and monthly close activities with strong attention to accuracy and timing
• Maintain organized and accurate financial records, ensuring data integrity across systems
• Support continuity in client financial operations during transitions, growth phases, or capacity shifts
• Support ad hoc reporting and financial analysis as needed

Quality and Standards

• Maintain and reinforce consistent accounting standards across engagements
• Identify anomalies, risks, or workflow breakdowns and communicate proactively
• Partner with the Controller to uphold best practices and refine accounting processes

Team Support and Collaboration

• Provide day-to-day guidance to Bookkeepers navigating client-specific workflows and questions
• Serve as an escalation point for prioritization and problem-solving
• Contribute to onboarding and development of newer team members

Client Experience

• Support steady, professional client relationships through reliability and clear communication
• Help maintain smooth communication flow between clients, Bookkeepers, and leadership
• Reinforce client confidence in financial processes and reporting

Systems and Workflow Contribution

• Maintain visibility of work through tools such as Asana and shared documentation platforms
• Contribute to the refinement of internal workflows and systems as the firm grows

What We’re Looking For

Technical Skills

• Strong experience with US GAAP and accrual-based accounting (5-7 years)
• Demonstrated experience with reconciliations, financial review, and monthly close processes
• Experience managing accounting workflows across multiple clients or entities
• Proficiency with Xero and/or QuickBooks Online
• QBO ProAdvisor or Xero Certification a plus, not required

Operational and Professional Skills

• Ability to connect detailed accounting work to broader financial processes and outcomes
• Strong judgment and ability to prioritize competing demands
• Professional presence with clients, reinforcing confidence through reliability, clarity, and responsiveness
• Clear and proactive communicator who surfaces questions and risks early
• Resourceful and self-directed, able to work through ambiguity and seek alignment when needed
• High standards for accuracy, organization, and follow-through
• Ability to work independently while staying aligned with team priorities
• Experience supporting or mentoring junior team members

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Enjoy owning your work and taking responsibility for outcomes
• Naturally notice inconsistencies and take initiative to address them
• Are comfortable managing multiple priorities and shifting demands
• Like supporting others and contributing to a collaborative team environment

Why Join TK Solutions

• Flexible, remote work environment
• Opportunity to grow within a high-trust, high-accountability team
• Exposure to a variety of service-based businesses and financial systems
• Meaningful work supporting women-led entrepreneurial growth
• A culture that values both excellence and human connection
