Key Responsibilities:

Perform weekly or monthly reconciliations of Xero file, following recommended best practices.
Investigate and resolve any discrepancies with clients promptly and accurately.
Conduct quarterly analysis of Profit and Loss (P&L) statements to identify areas of spending and provide revenue generation suggestions.
Provide financial data and insights to facilitate business planning and decision-making processes.
Occasionally communicate with stakeholders, such as the accountant, as needed.

Miscellaneous:

Monthly retainer preferred; hourly rate negotiable based on experience.

Additional Information:

The role is primarily deliverables-based rather than hourly. Therefore, we prefer a retainer arrangement to have a bookkeeper available on call to fulfill monthly, quarterly, and yearly tasks as needed. In essence, our interaction with the bookkeeper may be limited to once a month for Xero reconciliation, with additional tasks required on a quarterly or yearly basis. Additionally, occasional ad-hoc queries may arise, and the bookkeeper should be available to provide guidance and assistance as necessary. This flexibility and responsiveness are key attributes we seek in the ideal candidate.
