JOB TYPE: Full Time SALARY: $ - $ USD per month HOURS: [40 hrs/week] - must include 3-4 hours of daily overlap with US Pacific Time business hours
===========================================
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are a multi-location retail company in California, USA. We operate a group of retail stores plus supporting production and distribution operations, organized under a number of separate legal entities. Our back office is small and we need a dependable, detail-obsessed bookkeeper to keep our books accurate and current.
This is a long-term position. We are not hiring for a short project. We want someone who will still be with us in three years and who knows our chart of accounts better than we do.
IMPORTANT: This is high-volume, repetitive transaction entry work. You will spend most of your day inside QuickBooks. This is not a strategy, analysis, or advisory role. If you are looking for variety and creative problem solving, this is not the job. If you find genuine satisfaction in a clean reconciliation and a zero-variance month, keep reading.
===========================================
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Enter daily transactions into QuickBooks across multiple company files - sales, deposits, vendor bills, expenses, payroll journal entries, and transfers
Code every transaction to the correct entity, class, location, and GL account
Reconcile daily retail sales from our point-of-sale reports to bank deposits and QuickBooks
Perform monthly bank, credit card, and merchant account reconciliations
Enter and code accounts payable; maintain vendor records and backup documentation
Record intercompany transactions and transfers between entities
Maintain organized digital filing of receipts and invoices
Flag discrepancies and missing documents to your supervisor instead of guessing
Support month-end close checklists and year-end document packages for our CPA
===========================================
WHAT WE REQUIRE
Minimum 3 years of hands-on bookkeeping experience with US-based clients or employers
Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online (QuickBooks Desktop experience is a plus)
Experience working in more than one company file at a time without mixing them up
Solid Excel or Google Sheets skills - sorting, filtering, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, pivot tables
Excellent written English
Reliable computer, stable high-speed internet, and a quiet place to work
Able to commit to 3-4 hours of daily overlap with US Pacific Time business hours
Ability to follow an established chart of accounts and coding conventions exactly as documented
Available for a paid test assignment before we make an offer
STRONG PLUS
QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification (please include proof)
Experience with multi-entity or multi-location accounting
Experience in cash-intensive retail, restaurant groups, or multi-unit operations
Familiarity with US sales tax and excise tax reporting
Experience segregating cost of goods sold from operating expenses for tax purposes

Answer these five questions directly in your application. Short, specific answers are better than long ones.

What do you do, and why? d) A monthly bank reconciliation is off by $482.15. Walk us through your process for finding it. e) Describe how you have used Classes and Locations in QuickBooks Online.
Tell us your years of QuickBooks experience and the industries of the clients you supported.
