Bookkeeper

We are looking for a detail-oriented Bookkeeper to join a CPA firm in a contract capacity with the potential to become permanent. This position begins on a part-time basis and is expected to expand to regular hours during tax season, offering a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys both routine bookkeeping and seasonal tax support. The role is best suited to someone who can build trust through in-office collaboration at the outset, communicate confidently with clients, and maintain accurate financial records across multiple accounts and business types.

Responsibilities:

• Manage day-to-day bookkeeping activities for a portfolio of client accounts, ensuring transactions are recorded accurately and on schedule.

• Complete bank and account reconciliations, maintain balance sheet accuracy, and support a timely month-end close process.

• Prepare financial records and supporting documentation so statements are organized, complete, and ready for review.

• Work directly with clients to answer bookkeeping questions, gather needed information, and provide clear updates on account status.

• Handle sales tax filings for annual and quarterly reporting obligations across assigned clients.

• Support both business and individual tax season workflows by organizing financial data and assisting with return preparation activities.

• Use QuickBooks and office-based desktop accounting systems to maintain books for clients with varying system environments.

• Contribute during heavier tax planning periods by helping track financial standing, identify needed actions, and assemble information that supports tax impact discussions.

• Process core transactional work such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll entries, and data input as needed.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience in bookkeeping with strong knowledge of reconciliations, month-end close, and maintaining accurate general ledger records.

• Hands-on proficiency with QuickBooks, along with the ability to work in desktop-based accounting systems used in an office setting.

• Strong 10-key skills and a high level of accuracy when entering and reviewing financial data.

• Working knowledge of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll support, and financial statement preparation.

• Comfortable communicating directly with clients and gathering documentation in a detail-oriented and organized manner.

• Ability to work on-site initially in Greenville, South Carolina, with openness to potential remote flexibility after training and demonstrated success.

• Willingness to learn tax-related work and assist during busy periods involving business and personal tax support.
