What is a work home bookkeeper?

Work from home bookkeepers are professionals who manage financial records, transactions, and accounts for individuals or businesses remotely, rather than at a traditional office. They handle tasks such as recording income and expenses, reconciling bank statements, preparing invoices, and ensuring that financial records are accurate and up to date. With advancements in cloud-based accounting software, bookkeepers can efficiently perform their duties from home, communicating with clients via email, phone, or video calls. This role is ideal for those who are detail-oriented and comfortable working independently. Many businesses, especially small to medium-sized ones, hire remote bookkeepers to save on overhead costs and gain flexible support.

What are some common challenges faced by work home bookkeepers, and how can they be managed?

Work-from-home bookkeepers often encounter challenges such as staying organized without direct supervision, maintaining clear communication with clients or team members remotely, and ensuring data security when handling sensitive financial information. To manage these challenges, it's important to implement reliable accounting software, establish consistent routines, and use secure cloud-based tools for document sharing and collaboration. Regular check-ins with clients or colleagues can also help maintain transparency and address issues promptly.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a work home bookkeeper?

To thrive as a Work-from-Home Bookkeeper, you need a solid understanding of accounting principles, attention to detail, and often an associate's degree or relevant certification such as Certified Bookkeeper (CB). Familiarity with bookkeeping software like QuickBooks, Xero, and cloud-based accounting systems is typically required. Strong organizational skills, self-motivation, and effective remote communication help you excel in this independent role. These skills ensure accurate financial records, compliance, and efficient virtual collaboration with clients or teams.

While both roles can be remote, their scope and credentials differ significantly.

This is a w-2 position and requires you to sign a non-compete agreement.
You will be working from home, although we have in-person team lunches quarterly and two annual company events. We are looking for residents of Utah, but we may consider out-of-state candidates on a case by case basis.
Qualifications
  • Daytime availability for meetings and client calls. Even though you can do most of the work whenever you want, you must have regular availability during regular business hours in order to communicate with your clients and participate in team meetings and training. In addition, our training is pretty hands-on, and there will be more required daytime Zoom meetings for the first 2-4 months of your employment.

  • Good at managing multiple ongoing projects across several clients.
  • Able to provide good, consistent service to clients who are sometimes assertive and demanding.
  • At least three years of full-charge accounting experience in a small business environment (including data entry, A/R, A/P, reconciliations, etc).
  • Thorough understanding of general accounting/double-entry bookkeeping principles, comfortable making journal entries correctly.
  • Excellent communication skills, including through email, phone, video chat, and other online media; be able to respond to messages within one business day.
  • Self-motivated, able to work effectively under deadlines without much supervision, excellent follow-through.
  • Have your own computer with a number pad, headset, and webcam, along with a good internet connection.
  • Type at least 50 WPM, not afraid of data entry (sometimes it gets tedious, but we do our best to mix it up with more interesting work).
  • Generally tech savvy on computers, Windows, Microsoft Office, and internet; able to learn new software quickly.

Additional Information/Benefits:
  • Flexible hours
  • On the job training and development
  • Work from the comfort of your own home
  • Interact with lots of interesting people and companies in varying industries
  • Have a variety of ongoing projects, rather than keeping the same routine every day and week
  • Mileage and home office expense reimbursements
  • Company IRA matching up to 3%
  • Each team has an in-person meeting (usually lunch or dinner) once a quarter - attendance is required in most cases
  • We hold two events each year in the SLC, Utah area: a company retreat in the fall and a holiday party in early December. Attendance is required at both events if you live within reasonable traveling distance (mileage is reimbursed). If not, the company will pay for a plane ticket to at least one of the semiannual get-togethers.
  • We currently have an office location in Sandy, Utah. You are welcome to take advantage of the office space if you prefer to work outside of your home office some of the time.

***One last note: we have an intensive, careful hiring process because we are dedicated to choosing the best qualified candidates who will work well within our company culture and provide excellent service to our clients. Please be prepared to have as many as five interviews before we make any final decision, and the whole process may take several weeks.
