About the Role

The Full Charge Bookkeeper position is ideal for seasoned accounting professionals seeking a comprehensive role that combines routine bookkeeping with higher-level financial responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

As the Full Charge Bookkeeper, you'll handle end-to-end financial operations with autonomy and precision. Your daily tasks will include overseeing all bookkeeping activities to maintain impeccable financial records. You'll manage accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) processes, ensuring vendors are paid promptly and customer payments are collected efficiently to optimize cash flow.

Bank reconciliation will be a core duty, matching statements from multiple accounts and credit cards to detect discrepancies swiftly. Maintaining the general ledger and chart of accounts ensures your records are always audit-ready. Payroll processing demands accuracy, from calculating wages and deductions to distributing payments and filing quarterly/annual taxes like 941s, W-2s, and 1099s.

Each month, you'll prepare comprehensive financial statements—including profit and loss, balance sheets, and cash flow reports—to empower ownership with actionable insights. Collaboration is key: partner directly with business owners and CPAs on complex issues, while assisting in budget creation, job costing for projects, and in-depth financial analyses to support strategic growth. This role demands proactive problem-solving and a commitment to GAAP standards.

Proficiency in QuickBooks Online/Desktop is non-negotiable, alongside advanced Microsoft Excel skills for reporting and analysis. A solid understanding of payroll systems (e.g., ADP, Paychex) and tax compliance is essential, as is familiarity with job costing and budgeting tools.

Candidates should hold an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, though equivalent experience is valued. Key soft skills include meticulous attention to detail, strong organizational abilities, and excellent communication for working with non-financial stakeholders.
