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 accounting and payroll related tasks for a portfolio of up to 10 different client companies. To start, the tasks will mostly be accounting related with limited client customer service. But if interests and skills align there is opportunity for additional responsibility and client-facing tasks. The bookkeeper will be supported by a senior accountant on an ongoing basis.
TIME COMMITMENT
This is a full-time position, 30-40 hours/week. Negotiable, flexible schedule offered, though availability during general business hours may be required from time to time or expected based on business needs.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
This is a fully virtual/remote position. Our team and clients are distributed across the US. The bookkeeper must have high speed internet access, own computer and cell phone, a web camera, and a home office or other suitable workspace conducive to phone or video calls. The bookkeeper must be available daily to respond to emails and occasional phone calls.
