I'm a US-based real estate and small business owner with multiple companies and properties, all using Xero. My books need a full cleanup and catch-up across 2023, 2024, and 2025, in preparation for tax filing with my CPA.
This is not simple data entry. I need someone detail-oriented who understands bookkeeping fundamentals — categorizing transactions correctly, reconciling bank feeds, and flagging anything that looks off rather than just guessing. You'll be working across 2-3 separate Xero organizations (a business entity and personal/property accounts), so accuracy and the ability to keep entities separate is critical.
What you'll be doing:
Reconciling bank and credit card transactions in Xero across multiple organizations
Categorizing historical transactions correctly (2023–2025) based on chart of accounts and guidance I'll provide
Cleaning up a large backlog of "Uncategorized Expenses"
Entering recurring income that hasn't been recorded (e.g., owner-financed note payments)
Matching invoices and bills to bank transactions
Flagging transactions you're unsure how to categorize rather than guessing
Preparing clean monthly reports once cleanup is complete
Eventually: setting up recurring monthly invoicing/billing workflows to owners (this becomes the ongoing part-time role)
What I need from you:
Solid experience with Xero (required — please don't apply if you've only used QuickBooks)
Experience with multi-entity or multi-property bookkeeping is a strong plus
Comfortable with bank reconciliation, AP/AR, and basic US accounting categorization
Detail-oriented and comfortable asking questions when something is unclear, rather than guessing and moving on
Able to work independently once given clear direction, but communicate proactively
Available for daily or near-daily check-ins during the cleanup phase
English fluency for clear written communication
Nice to have:
Experience working with US-based real estate, property management, or rental income (STR/owner-financed notes)
Experience preparing books for CPA tax handoff
Familiarity with Hubdoc, Dext, or similar receipt/invoice capture tools
To Apply, please include:
Your years of experience specifically with Xero
Whether you've worked with multiple entities/organizations for one client before
Your availability (full-time hours, time zone overlap with US Central Time preferred)
Your expected monthly rate for full-time work
A short note on how you'd approach a backlog of "uncategorized" transactions spanning 3 years
Please do not send generic copy-paste applications — I will prioritize candidates who clearly read this posting.
