About The Position

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Accountant who is deeply fluent in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to take total ownership of client books—from initial transaction categorization all the way to final financial statements. You will manage month-end closes, reconcile complex accounts, and deliver clean, GAAP-compliant financials. Beyond technical precision, you are an exceptional communicator who believes in taking the long route internally so clients can take the short route. You investigate and dig for answers first, only bringing streamlined, plain-English questions to clients when truly necessary.

Requirements

Active QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification with advanced, hands-on experience.
3+ years of direct accounting experience for U.S.-based businesses.
Proven track record preparing GAAP-compliant financial statements and managing month-end closes.
Experience reconciling payroll reports from systems like Gusto, ADP, or Paychex.
Fluent written and spoken English with a skill for explaining financial concepts clearly to non-financial clients.
High attention to detail, strong systems-thinking approach, and a desire to automate routine processes.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience in beauty & wellness, interior design, or brick-and-mortar service businesses.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.

Reconcile monthly provider reports (Gusto, ADP, Paychex) to QBO, including tips, commissions, and benefits.
Prepare tax-ready books and year-end packages for CPAs.
Maintain clean audit trails, internal controls, and documentation.
Research receipts, historical patterns, vendor details, and past communications before contacting clients.
Convert complex accounting queries into clear, everyday language (e.g., asking "Was this $240 Home Depot charge for the salon or personal?" instead of requesting uncategorized expense support ).
Batch client questions, provide clear context, and make queries fast and effortless to answer.
Draft and maintain clear SOPs to help scale the accounting function.
