An evening bookkeeper performs accounting duties outside of regular business hours. You use accounting software like Intuit Quickbooks to track spending and income, record account information, prepare invoices, and create a financial statement for each day or week. If you work for a retail business or restaurant, you often have to verify each transaction for the day. In some cases, a bookkeeper plans and tracks a budget for a business. An evening bookkeeper can work for an employer or perform tasks for different clients on a freelance basis. The definition of evening can vary, but you typically work after 5 pm.
