JOB OVERVIEW

Overview

I'm an Irish founder based in Bali running two businesses and I need a sharp, reliable bookkeeper to keep my finances clean and put meaningful numbers in front of me every week — not just at tax time. This is a long-term retainer role for someone who actually gives a sh*t about small business finance and can communicate clearly and proactively.

The two businesses

Beyond the Fold (BTF)

Branded CRO & design agency. Retainer-based B2B clients. Revenue in GBP/EUR/USD. Expenses: contractor fees, software, ads.

Digestly

DTC eCommerce supplement brand (UK market). Shopify-based. Revenue in GBP. Expenses: inventory, testing, ads, fulfilment.

What I need from you

Monthly bookkeeping for both businesses — P&L, cash flow, balance sheet reconciled and sent to me in a clear, clean format

Weekly KPI summary every Friday — sent to me via WhatsApp as a concise, scannable message (not a PDF, not an email — WhatsApp, short, punchy numbers)

Flag anything that looks off — cash flow issues, unusual expenses, margins drifting — before I ask

Keep both books separate and clean — different revenue models, different expense structures, different currencies

Be reachable and responsive — I move fast and I need someone who does too

Ideal background

Experience with DTC eCommerce bookkeeping (Shopify, COGS, inventory, ad spend reconciliation)

Comfortable with agency/service business financials alongside product-based businesses

UK-aware (VAT, UK filing standards) — Digestly is a UK market business

Proficient in Xero or QuickBooks (state which you prefer)

Multi-currency experience (GBP, EUR, USD, IDR)

Strong communicator — plain English, no jargon unless I ask

The role

Type

Long-term retainer

Budget

Commitment

Monthly + weekly cadence

To apply — answer these three questions

Keep it brief. I read every response and I will not open generic proposals.

1.

What questions would you ask me to set up the books for both businesses — list them out

2.

Write me a sample Friday WhatsApp KPI message for either business — show me what I'd actually receive

3.

What accounting software would you use and why for this setup specifically
