Bookkeeping Associate 🔥


Bookkeeping Associate

We’re looking for a self-directed, detail-obsessed, customer service aficionado to join our team providing top-notch bookkeeping to diverse small businesses.


About Us:

Wanderwell is a small business consultancy dedicated to giving visionary business owners trainings, tools, and services to find success while staying true to their values and beliefs. Our team works both remotely and in person with a results and relationship-driven approach. Our clients are a motley crew of inspiring, driven, passionate & compassionate, and interesting businesses covering a breadth of fields of practice.

 

Our bookkeeping service provides a crucial financial foundation for our clients, and we aim to build strong relationships, providing information, expertise, and clean books to support their success and growth. In addition to bookkeeping, we offer consulting services focused on a breadth of business development, all with a focus on humans, happiness, and grounded in social justice and a feminist ethos.

 

We strive to be thoughtful about how we approach our work and lives, and we believe “work-life-integration” is a better framework than balance, and thus strongly believe in structuring our work and jobs in the direction of happiness. We allow for flexibility in work hours, and we regularly take time during “normal business hours” to spend time with family, take a yoga class, or walk in the woods with a friend, and we balance that freedom by showing up 110% when we are at work. As a small and growing company, with some seasonal ebb and flow to our work (we're looking at you, IRS) there will be moments of "all hands on deck", and our goal is to balance those moments with the support to rest and take time off when you need.

 

The Position:

 

A successful candidate will independently manage a diverse range of small business accounts, utilizing Quickbooks online and cloud-based systems and applications, ensuring that our clients receive clean books and up-to-date financial information on a weekly or monthly-basis. Ideal candidates are organized and clear communicators, both with internal WW team and with clients, and obsessive in attention to detail.

Successful candidates love to problem solve, work with people, and are excited to serve the small business community and help our awesome clients do their best work by taking care of the behind the scenes bookkeeping for them.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Independently manage day-to-day relationships with assigned clients, including communicating proactively with clients and Wanderwell Team.
  • Perform full charge bookkeeping functions for assigned clients, including entering bills and recording payments; preparing monthly summary reports and supporting in year end report delivery; managing accounts receivable and supporting collections; filing sales tax.
  • Communicate and meet with clients regularly to answer questions, troubleshoot, or explain financial information.
  • Employ exceptional customer service and communication skills to respond gracefully and punctually to clients and Wanderwell, while continually finding ways to improve our services.
  • Independently manage schedule and workload, proactively keeping up with our internal operational reporting to ensure our whole team is on the same page.

 

Skills & Qualifications

 

  • Minimum of 4-5+ years of bookkeeping experience; Quickbooks Online experience required.
  • Experience with a range of small business bookkeeping and/or client-based experience preferred.
  • Ability to identify potential problems, analyze issues, and provide proactive solutions.
  • Exceptional customer service skills, with demonstrated ability to communicate clearly and graciously.
  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and proven ability to manage multiple projects and prioritize to meet deadlines.
