    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

    • 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

    Ideal Candidate

    This role is ideal for a seasoned bookkeeping professional who:

    • Takes ownership of their clients
