Accounting Specialist / Bookkeeper – Remote, 4-Day Workweek
Accounting Specialist / Bookkeeper - Remote, 4-Day Workweek
We are a woman-owned virtual accounting firm serving photographers across the U.S., and we’re growing our accounting team. We’re looking for an experienced Accounting Specialist / Bookkeeper who enjoys clean books, accurate reconciliations, thoughtful problem-solving, and helping small business owners feel more confident about their finances.
This is a full-time W-2 position with a 32-hour, Monday-Thursday workweek. You’ll manage recurring bookkeeping responsibilities for a portfolio of photography businesses while working closely with our Accounting Lead and the rest of our team.
What you’ll be responsible for:
- Managing monthly bookkeeping for assigned clients
- Reconciling bank, credit card, loan, and other balance sheet accounts
- Reviewing transactions for accuracy and proper categorization
- Investigating and resolving reconciliation discrepancies
- Preparing and reviewing monthly financial reports
- Maintaining organized supporting documentation
- Following up with clients for missing information or clarification
- Assisting with contractor compliance, sales tax, payroll, and other recurring accounting tasks
- Meeting monthly deadlines and communicating proactively when something needs attention
- Collaborating with the Accounting Lead during review and month-end processes
- Identifying opportunities to improve workflows and client experience
We’re not looking for someone who simply checks boxes. We want someone who notices when something doesn’t look right, asks good questions, follows through, and takes ownership of their work.
You’ll be trained on our systems, workflows, and the Bastian Accounting way, but you should already have a solid bookkeeping foundation and be comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
Starting salary is $32,000-$35,000 annually, depending on relevant experience and demonstrated bookkeeping skills. There is room to grow in both responsibility and compensation as you grow with Bastian Accounting.
