Our Client
Our Client is an established, high-integrity US-based CPA firm managing robust accounting, bookkeeping, and tax compliance operations for a diverse portfolio of business accounts. While the firm serves standard industries, a significant portion of their client base operates within the rapidly growing, highly regulated US cannabis sector. Our Client prioritizes meticulous financial hygiene, absolute accuracy, and close, professional relationships with the businesses they serve.
The Role
Our Client is seeking a highly detailed, dependable, and communicative Senior Full Charge Bookkeeper to own the day-to-day books for multiple client accounts. This is a sophisticated, core bookkeeping role that sits heavily within legacy and modern software systems. The vast majority of the firm's clients rely on QuickBooks Desktop, making advanced, standalone proficiency in QB Desktop non-negotiable. This position is ideal for an accountant who understands financial records from start to finish and can manually trace, input, and reconcile data without relying purely on automated bank feeds.
