The ideal candidate has strong experience with payroll mapping, journal entries, accrual versus cash basis accounting, and working with nonprofits and government contractors.

  • Support Controller review process

Nonprofit & Government Contractor Accounting
  • Maintain proper fund or class tracking for nonprofits

  • 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

    • Senior-level, hands-on bookkeeping experience

    • Strong understanding of payroll posting and account mapping

    • 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
