Our client is seeking a tech-savvy and detail-oriented Bookkeeper to manage accounting operations and financial compliance.

The position emphasizes results and accountability rather than strict time-based oversight.
This is a long-term opportunity to work directly with U.S.-based leadership, supporting accounts payable (AP), reconciliations, and other core bookkeeping functions. A second phase may involve expanding to accounts receivable (AR) support and use of systems such as Contractor Foreman.

- Maintain general ledger integrity and support journal entries.

- Assist with payroll processing, TPT tax filings, and other compliance requirements.
- Support financial reporting and provide timely updates on account status.
- Identify and implement process improvements to increase efficiency.
- Experience: 4+ years in bookkeeping or accounting, preferably with contractors or service-based businesses.
- Technical Skills:
- Proficiency in QuickBooks Online (required)
- Strong understanding of AP, reconciliations, payroll, TPT tax, and general ledger
