About the role

Our client is a vacation rental business that needs a detail-oriented, tech-savvy bookkeeper to keep their books accurate and up to date. You'll own the day-to-day accounting, from reconciliations to owner payouts, and work directly with the owner, with support from an external accountant and a CPA at tax time.

This role is a great fit for someone who takes ownership, catches small details before they become problems, and looks for ways to work faster and with fewer errors, using integrations, copy-paste and automation instead of manual data entry.

Requirements

• Manage the daily bookkeeping in QuickBooks, including transactions coming in from booking platform integrations.
• Complete bank and account reconciliations accurately and on time.
• Prepare owner payouts each month, which is the busiest week of the month.
• Maintain the balance sheet and track the P&L so the owner always has a clear view of the business.
• Support the CPA with tax preparation, organizing documents and records.
• Check in daily and send an end-of-day report with what was completed, what's pending and any issues.
• Spot errors and inconsistencies early and propose better ways to keep the books clean.
