JOIN OUR GROWING TEAM AS WE HELP OTHERS GROW THEIR DREAM

BOOKKEEPERS FOR LANDSCAPERS IS SEEKING A
NEW MEMBER TO JOIN OUR TEAM

Position: Remote Part-Time Lead Bookkeeper

We're growing and need your help to make our team even better for our clients!  This role begins as a part-time subcontracting position, but with the right fit, will quickly evolve into a long-term employee position.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

Are you looking for a flexible position with a small team of hard workers who are enthusiastic about helping others?  Do you like the idea of doing the "bookkeeping work" without the hassle of owning your own business, making sales calls, creating marketing content, or dealing with client interaction?  If so, your attention to detail, professionalism, ease and willingness to be accountable and proactive will ensure your success in this role. 
If you love to flex your skills for turning a set of messy books into a masterpiece of beautifully organized and accurate books by digging into the work without having discussions with the client, then you'll enjoy the fact that this role is completely behind the scenes and does not include any client-facing communication.  If you like creating detailed processes and instructing others with encouragement and kindness, you'll be perfect for guiding our bookkeepers on ways to improve and be successful with their work.  Oversight and precision are your strengths.  Reviewing the books and ensuring quality control at month-end is your jam!  You thrive on preventing problems by being meticulous and driven, yet enjoy helping others find solutions in a considerate manner. 
We specifically serve business owners in the Lawn Care and Landscaping industry, so having any experience working in this field will benefit you greatly.  Having an understanding of job costing and industry-specific software like Jobber and Yardbook is beneficial as well.  Ideal candidates have past experience working professionally in a remote setting, a computer with a secure, high-speed internet connection, and a webcam (can be internal to your laptop - does not have to be external).
