Now Hiring: Bookkeeper
|
|
[Application Below]
OVERVIEW
Blue Fox is looking for an experienced bookkeeper who is kind, analytical, self-disciplined, extremely detail oriented, and tech savvy. The bookkeeper will work on a daily 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 clientfacing tasks. The bookkeeper will collaborate with a senior accountant regularly (weekly if not more frequently in the beginning) for support and training. For the right candidate, this position may lead to a senior accountant role within a year or less. (We’re growing like crazy around here!)
TIME COMMITMENT
This is a part-time position to start at 20 hours/week but will likely be full-time within 4-8 weeks of hire. Flexible work schedule offered.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
This is a virtual/remote position – our team is distributed across the US. 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 day to respond to emails and occasional phone calls. Read more about Blue Fox services here.
