As a Bookkeeper, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our clients' financial health by delivering accurate, timely, and organized financial insights. Ideal for professionals passionate about accounting and client service, this role demands excellent attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment handling diverse client portfolios.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the full bookkeeping cycle for multiple clients: review incoming data, categorize transactions meticulously, and execute precise reconciliations to maintain financial integrity.
• Prepare and finalize monthly financial statements, double-checking for accuracy and completeness before client delivery, ensuring compliance with accounting standards.
• Engage proactively with clients via email, phone, or virtual meetings to collect missing documents, clarify ambiguous transactions, and validate adjustments.
• Maintain impeccable organization of client files, detailed notes, and financial records within Canopy, QuickBooks Online, and other designated platforms.
• Juggle multiple client accounts efficiently, prioritizing based on urgent deadlines, account complexity, and client needs.
• Classify and record accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) transactions accurately to support cash flow management.
