Job description

MAVENTRI is seeking a Senior Bookkeeper to support multiple clients with day-to-day accounting execution, month-end close preparation, and financial accuracy. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how transactions flow through the financial statements and can confidently manage books with minimal oversight.
The ideal candidate has strong experience with payroll mapping, journal entries, accrual versus cash basis accounting, and working with nonprofits and government contractors.
This position requires availability during standard business hours (EST) and direct communication with clients.
Transaction Management & Posting
  • Record and categorize transactions accurately in QuickBooks Online and/or Xero
  • Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable
  • Maintain general ledger accuracy
  • Perform bank and credit card reconciliations
  • Post payroll journal entries and ensure proper account mapping
  • Maintain payroll-related liability accounts
Journal Entries & Adjustments
  • Prepare and post adjusting journal entries
  • Record accruals, deferrals, and reclassifications
  • Apply accrual versus cash basis accounting appropriately
  • Support month-end and year-end close preparation
Financial Statement Support
  • Generate and review financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow)
  • Ensure accounts are properly categorized and financials are clean and review-ready
  • Identify inconsistencies or errors and resolve them proactively
  • Support Controller review process
Nonprofit & Government Contractor Accounting
  • Maintain proper fund or class tracking for nonprofits
  • Understand restricted versus unrestricted funds
  • Support DCAA-compliant accounting practices where applicable
  • Ensure proper cost allocation and expense tracking
Nonprofit & Government Contractor Accounting
  • Work directly with clients via email and virtual meetings
  • Respond to client communications in a timely and professional manner
  • Request documentation and follow up as needed
  • Maintain strong client relationships

Workload Expectations
  • This role may support up to 15-20 clients over time
  • Client load will increase gradually and not immediately
  • Must be comfortable managing multiple deadlines and prioritizing effectively

Requirements
  • 7+ years of bookkeeping or accounting experience
  • Senior-level, hands-on bookkeeping experience
  • Strong understanding of payroll posting and account mapping
  • Deep understanding of accrual versus cash basis accounting
  • Experience generating and understanding financial statements
  • Experience working with nonprofits and/or government contractors
  • Proficiency in QuickBooks Online (Xero experience a plus)
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple clients independently
  • Must be available to work during standard business hours

Schedule & Availability
  • Up to 25 hours per week
  • Must be available during regular business hours
  • Flexible within business hours, but not evenings-only

Compensation
  • Hourly rate commensurate with experience
  • Part-time, remote position

Ideal Candidate
This role is ideal for a seasoned bookkeeping professional who:
  • Takes ownership of their clients
  • Understands how transactions impact financial statements
  • Communicates confidently and professionally with business owners
  • Can manage volume without sacrificing accuracy
  • Thrives in a structured, deadline-driven environment
