Remote Bookkeeper (QuickBooks Expert)

Now Hiring: Remote Bookkeeper (Contract, Part-Time to Full-Time)
Work from Anywhere | Must be US based (1099)

Sound Advice Bookkeeping is on a mission to bring clarity, structure, and peace of mind to growing businesses through thoughtfully optimized bookkeeping. Since 2006, we've been the financial backbone for small businesses, startups, and nonprofits in over 12 states.

As we grow, we're looking to add an experienced, detail-obsessed Remote Bookkeeper to our fully virtual team of accounting professionals. If you thrive in a flexible, fast-paced environment where quality work and client care come first—and where results matter more than clock-punching—we want to meet you.

About the Role

As a Bookkeeper, you’ll provide remote financial support to a portfolio of assigned clients (typically 18–25 once fully ramped). Reporting to the Managing Partner and working closely with our team, you’ll use your expertise in QuickBooks Online to ensure timely, clean books and accurate reporting. This is a 1099 contract role requiring approximately 100–140 hours/month after ramp-up (minimum 20–25 hours/week).

We use a Results-Oriented Work (ROW) approach: no micromanagement, but you must be available for client Zooms and team meetings during standard business hours (MST).

Key Responsibilities

You’ll own and manage all aspects of full-charge bookkeeping for your clients, including:
  • Chart of Accounts review, design, and alignment with business operations
  • Import historical bank/credit card transactions (YTD or specified range)
  • Reconcile prior periods (bank, credit card, loans, etc.)
  • Identify and clear duplicate or uncategorized transactions
  • Review outstanding AR/AP balances for accuracy
  • Sync and test financial integrations (e.g., financial institutions, PayPal, Stripe, Square, Gusto)
  • Verify and clean vendor and customer lists
  • Organize and file historical financial documents digitally
  • Download/import bank/credit card transactions
  • Categorize income and expenses
  • Reconcile bank/credit card/loan accounts
  • Enter vendor bills (Accounts Payable / AP)
  • Prepare vendor payments (Client must authorize/send)
  • Record and apply customer payments (Accounts Receivable / AR)
  • Enter or generate customer invoices
  • Generate and send invoices to customers
  • Track open AR / collections status
  • Record recurring journal entries (e.g., loan payments, depreciation, fixed asset tracking)
  • Collection of W9s and 1099 vendor tracking for year-end 1099 processing*
  • Record reimbursable expenses based on approved reports or receipts
  • Sales tax reporting and filing (monthly, quarterly, or annually)
  • Generate monthly management reports: Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, AR, AP
  • Meet monthly or quarterly to review management reports
  • Maintain digital file organization of supporting docs (e.g., receipts, statements)

Qualifications

The right candidate will check most (if not all) of these boxes:

  • 5+ years of professional bookkeeping experience
  • Expert-level QuickBooks Online user (QBO ProAdvisor preferred); QBD experience a plus
  • Strong knowledge of small business accounting workflows and best practices
  • Proficient with Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, basic formulas, etc.)
  • Comfortable with cloud-based tech stacks and integrations (see tools below)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Obsessed with detail, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple clients
  • US based, authorized to work as a 1099 contractor (no visa sponsorship)

Tools We Use

Experience with the following tools is a plus:

  • QuickBooks Online & QuickBooks Desktop
  • Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Chat, Meet)
  • Double (formerly known as Keeper)
  • HubDoc
  • Gusto
  • Salesforce
  • Zoom
  • QuickBooks Time (TSheets)

Why Work With Us?

  • 100% remote, flexible schedule (ROW: Results-Oriented Work environment)
  • Supportive, collaborative team that meets weekly via Zoom
  • Opportunity to grow your client base within a stable, fast-growing firm
  • Access to a wide variety of client industries across 12+ states
  • Work that makes a real difference in the lives of small business owners
  • A reputation you can trust - 35+ 5-star reviews from happy clients on Google

Education & Work Eligibility

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred—but equivalent experience is welcomed
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States as a 1099 contractor
  • Must have access to your own computer, reliable internet, and a quiet work environment

Compensation

$32–$37/hour, depending on experience.
This is a 1099 contractor role (no benefits provided).

No Agencies Please

We are not accepting inquiries from third-party recruiters, corp-to-corp vendors, or candidates seeking visa sponsorship at this time.
