Now Hiring: Remote Bookkeeper (Contract, Part-Time to Full-Time)
Work from Anywhere | Must be US based (1099)
Sound Advice Bookkeeping is on a mission to bring clarity, structure, and peace of mind to growing businesses through thoughtfully optimized bookkeeping. Since 2006, we've been the financial backbone for small businesses, startups, and nonprofits in over 12 states.
As we grow, we're looking to add an experienced, detail-obsessed Remote Bookkeeper to our fully virtual team of accounting professionals.

This is a 1099 contract role requiring approximately 100–140 hours/month after ramp-up (minimum 20–25 hours/week).
