  • Data Cleanup: Audit and fix historical bookkeeping errors, clear bank transaction/reconciliation "junk", eliminate duplicate entries, and properly match credit card payments and credit card credits.

  • Chart of Accounts (COA) Optimization: Refine, structure, and implement proper subaccounts and numbering systems, deactivating unused accounts to maintain lean ledgers.

  • Journal Entries: Execute adjustments for opening balances, map interest applications, and perform historical corrections to align books with previous tax returns.

  • Accounts Receivable (AR) & Payroll Corrections: Resolve undeposited funds discrepancies, accurately match client deposit details, and execute payroll tax vs. expense reconciliations.

  • Financial Reporting & Monitoring: Generate customized financial reports, manage budgets, build projections, and handle 401(k) retirement fund monitoring and reconciliations.


Requirements & Skills

  • Experience: 1-4+ years of solid accounting/bookkeeping experience, with a proven track record handling data cleanups and full-cycle accounting for US businesses.

  • Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of US accounting principles, payroll reconciliations, and 401(k) compliance tracking.

  • Software Mastery: Advanced proficiency in cloud accounting software (QuickBooks Online/Desktop or similar ERPs) and advanced spreadsheet mechanics.

  • Language: Strict C1 English level requirement. You must be able to communicate complex financial analysis and build reporting structures clearly in English.
