[Application Below]
OVERVIEW
Blue Fox is looking for a bookkeeper who is experienced, kind, analytical, self-disciplined, extremely detail oriented, and tech savvy. The bookkeeper will work on a daily or weekly basis for up to 5 different client companies. To start, the tasks will mostly be accounting related with limited-to-no client customer service. But if interests and skills align there is opportunity for additional responsibility and client-facing tasks. The bookkeeper will collaborate with the business owner regularly (weekly if not more frequently in the beginning) for support and training.
TIME COMMITMENT
This is an independent contractor position with an estimated time commitment of 5-15 hours/week. A flexible, supportive schedule is a primary benefit offered to all our team members, regardless of employment status. The bookkeeper will set and communicate her own schedule each week and bill Blue Fox monthly for services rendered. (Preferred pay range: $17-20/hour.)
WORK ENVIRONMENT
This is a virtual/remote position. The bookkeeper must have high speed internet access, her own computer, a device with a web camera, and a home office or other suitable workspace conducive to phone or video calls. The bookkeeper must be available intermittently throughout the week to respond to emails and occasional phone calls. Read more about Blue Fox services on our website.
