I like the family feeling of a small team.

I'm self-proclaimed AWESOME.

Why is this an AMAZING opportunity?

You will learn a TON! You will learn lots of accounting, as well as operations and different business models and industries.
You will work very closely with your assigned small business clients and be a key resource for them.
They have long-term relationships with their clients so it is very rewarding when you see them succeed as a result of what you do.
You get to meet each month via video conference with entrepreneurs who are trying to change the world!
You’ll have a career path for you to grow and be promoted as soon as you're ready.
Flex-time so you can work from home periodically.

Responsibilities

This will be a client-facing role, so you must love interacting with people! You'll eventually be assigned up to four clients that you'll work with on a daily & weekly basis. Here's what you'll be doing (basically everything):

Enter and maintain all accounts receivable - aka show me the money!
Enter and code accounts payable and credit card transactions - control spending the money.
Process payroll to keep happy employees.
Perform bank reconciliations so everything is captured.
Reconcile and maintain balance sheet accounts so the balance sheet doesn't become a black hole of unknown balances.
Work with your manager on the client's budget and cash flow.
Prepare monthly financial packets with assistance from a manager and present the packet to your clients - they will love you for this.
Maintain organized digital files - a messy Dropbox is a messy employee.

Experience

Understanding of accounting principles and practices (duh...)
3+ years of previous accounting experience.
Proficiency in QuickBooks and/or Netsuite
Proficiency in Excel.
