About the Position
Autery Weir Bookkeeping & Tax is looking for an experienced bookkeeper to join our growing bookkeeping and tax practice.
This is NOT primarily a data-entry position. We are looking for someone who understands bookkeeping well enough to independently maintain client books, identify problems, perform reconciliations, clean up existing books, and produce accurate financial information.
Our ideal candidate has strong QuickBooks Online experience and is comfortable working with multiple businesses at the same time.
The position will initially be approximately 20–30 hours per week, with the opportunity to grow into a full-time position as our bookkeeping client base continues to expand.
Responsibilities
- Manage bookkeeping for multiple small-business clients
- Maintain accurate records in QuickBooks Online
- Categorize and review bank and credit-card transactions
- Perform monthly bank and credit-card reconciliations
- Review balance sheets and profit-and-loss statements for accuracy
- Identify and correct bookkeeping errors
- Clean up and organize existing QuickBooks files
- Maintain appropriate loan, fixed-asset, equity and liability accounts
- Assist with payroll accounting and payroll-related bookkeeping
- Communicate with clients when additional information or documentation is needed
- Prepare clean and accurate books for year-end tax preparation
- Assist with QuickBooks Desktop-to-QuickBooks Online conversions as needed
- Help establish and maintain consistent bookkeeping procedures and quality-control processes
Required Qualifications
- Meaningful professional bookkeeping experience
- Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online
- Experience performing bank and credit-card reconciliations
- Understanding of basic accounting principles and financial statements
- Ability to identify unusual or incorrect transactions rather than simply entering data
- Ability to manage bookkeeping for multiple businesses and meet recurring deadlines
- Strong attention to detail
- Dependable and capable of working independently
- Comfortable asking questions when transactions or accounting treatment are unclear
Preferred Qualifications
- 3+ years of bookkeeping experience
- Experience managing books for multiple businesses or clients
- QuickBooks Desktop experience

- QuickBooks Desktop-to-Online conversion experience
- Payroll experience
- Sales-tax experience
- Experience with intercompany transactions or businesses with multiple related entities
- Previous experience with a bookkeeping, accounting, CPA or tax firm
- QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification
A college degree is not required. Demonstrated bookkeeping knowledge and real-world experience are more important to us than formal education.
What We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who can eventually take ownership of the bookkeeping function for assigned clients.
The right candidate should be able to look beyond transaction entry and recognize when something does not make sense. We value accuracy, sound judgment, integrity, dependability and willingness to investigate problems rather than simply processing transactions.
We are particularly interested in an experienced bookkeeper looking for a stable, long-term position with the opportunity to take on greater responsibility as our bookkeeping practice grows.
Compensation & Schedule
$20–$27 per hour, depending on demonstrated experience and ability.
The position is expected to begin at approximately 20–30 hours per week. There is potential for the position to become full-time as our client base and workload continue to grow.
Scheduling flexibility may be available for the right candidate.
Application Process
Qualified applicants will complete a brief bookkeeping/QuickBooks skills assessment as part of the interview process.
Final candidates may also be asked to complete a practical bookkeeping exercise designed to evaluate their ability to identify and resolve common bookkeeping problems.
To apply, please submit your resume and a cover letter with information about your bookkeeping and QuickBooks experience.
