Do you love bringing order to financial chaos? Do you spot patterns in numbers like Neo sees the Matrix? Do your reconciliations reconcile so well they could win awards?

• Help us improve systems and scale with confidence

Please don't apply if you:

• Have less than 5 years of bookkeeping experience
• Aren’t confident in QuickBooks
• Struggle with accuracy or attention to detail
• Can’t keep up in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment
• Don’t love numbers. Like, really love them

Required:

• 5+ years of bookkeeping or financial admin experience
• Strong experience with QuickBooks
• Impeccable attention to detail
• High integrity + discretion with confidential info
• Great communication and time management
• Ability to work independently (but also be a team player)
