## Description

Remote · Part-time (4–6 hours/day) · Pacific Time, 9:00 AM–2:00 PM

## About the role

Our client is a vacation rental business that needs a detail-oriented, tech-savvy bookkeeper to keep their books accurate and up to date. You'll own the day-to-day accounting, from reconciliations to owner payouts, and work directly with the owner, with support from an external accountant and a CPA at tax time.

This role is a great fit for someone who takes ownership, catches small details before they become problems, and looks for ways to work faster and with fewer errors, using integrations, copy-paste and automation instead of manual data entry.

## Requirements

-   Manage the daily bookkeeping in QuickBooks, including transactions coming in from booking platform integrations.
-   Complete bank and account reconciliations accurately and on time.
-   Prepare owner payouts each month, which is the busiest week of the month.
-   Maintain the balance sheet and track the P&L so the owner always has a clear view of the business.
-   Support the CPA with tax preparation, organizing documents and records.
-   Check in daily and send an end-of-day report with what was completed, what's pending and any issues.
-   Spot errors and inconsistencies early and propose better ways to keep the books clean.

## What success looks like

-   First month: You've taken ownership of the day-to-day books, you catch the small details, and the owner can trust your accounting work.
-   By month 3: Owner payouts and reconciliations are completed on time, and the balance sheet and P&L are up to date.
-   By month 6: You're supporting the CPA with tax preparation.
-   Tools you will use

-   QuickBooks: primary accounting tool, with integrations from booking platforms
-   Property management system
-   Google Sheets and Google Drive
-   Slack and WhatsApp: daily communication
