Bookkeeper

About Us:
We are a growing carpet and tile cleaning company based in the US. Recently acquired on Feb 14, 2024, we are a small business with one owner, one additional employee (soon to be two more), some depreciable equipment assets and one long term loan.

Position Overview:
We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced bookkeeper to join our team remotely. The ideal candidate will be well-versed in US business practices and GAAP, with proficiency in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

We are using Gusto to run payroll, which is linked to QBO, but also remains uncharted and untouched.

• Proven experience in bookkeeping, preferably in a US-based business environment.
• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and other accounting software.
• Strong understanding of US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy in data entry and financial reporting.
