Bookkeeper

Bookkeeper (Remote, Full-Time) — Pet Care Industry

Tiny Paws Bookkeeping | $25–$30/hr Remote (US only) Flexible schedule (40 hrs/week) — meetings + deadlines must be covered

This is not just bookkeeping — it’s clarity and care.

We support pet care business owners who want clean books and a calm, trustworthy partner. This role includes client meetings, relationship-based communication, and explaining the Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flow in plain language.

If that energizes you, you’ll love it here. If that sounds draining, this likely isn’t your role — and that’s okay.

Our Bigger Why

Tiny Paws exists for one big reason: pet care business owners deserve financial clarity that feels supportive—not scary. Our Big Promise is simple: we keep the books clean and the client cared for. We’re hiring now because we’re growing — and growth only works if quality stays high. This role protects the client experience, keeps the month-end close consistent, and provides clear financial reports.

Role Snapshot

· Portfolio: ~20–25 clients (existing + new)

· Meetings: Monthly + quarterly (Zoom)

· Includes: Payroll + sales tax payments (as scoped)

· Mentorship: You’ll mentor/review a junior bookkeeper

· Tools: QuickBooks Online, Gusto, ADP, Pumble, Go High Level CRM, Zoom

· Culture note: We value flexibility and timeliness. Once a meeting is scheduled, we keep it.

What Winning Looks Like

Winning here looks like calm, consistent month-end closes across a whole portfolio — reconciliations are clean, documentation is solid, and deadlines don’t become emergencies because you stay proactive. Clients feel supported and clear because you can explain the P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow in plain English during meetings, with a warm, confident tone. You protect trust by keeping commitments, you run payroll and

sales tax workflows like a steady system, and you mentor your junior in a way that raises quality over time.

If you prefer minimal communication, dislike meetings, or need constant direction, this probably won’t be a fit. If you want real ownership and you love turning messy books into clarity for real humans, you’ll thrive here.

What This Job Is Not (Please Read)

· Not micromanaged — you won’t get a minute-by-minute task list

· Not “no clients” bookkeeping — meetings and relationships are part of the role

· Not constant chaos — we use systems and timelines (the pace is steady and deadlines matter)

· Not “whenever” flexibility — flexibility exists inside commitments and deliverables

· Not a fit if you frequently reschedule, avoid accountability, or prefer to stay in the background

What You’ll Own

· Month-end close: accurate categorization, bank/CC reconciliations, cleanup, and consistent close for multiple clients

· Issue-spotting + resolution: catching duplicates, miscategorizations, unclear deposits, and subscription creep before it snowballs

· Payroll + sales tax workflows: managing payroll through Gusto/ADP, coordinating sales tax payments, and ensuring proper reflection in QBO

· Client meetings + reporting: leading monthly/quarterly meetings and translating financials into clear takeaways and next steps

· Mentorship: reviewing a junior bookkeeper’s work with kind, specific feedback that teaches the “why.”

· Organization: keeping tasks, notes, and communication documented in Go High Level and team systems

Non-Negotiables (Must-Haves)

· 5+ years of multi-client bookkeeping experience (firm or equivalent portfolio)

· Strong QuickBooks Online skills (reconciliations + month-end close)

· Payroll experience using Gusto and/or ADP

· Experience coordinating sales tax payments

· Strong working knowledge of P&L, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flow

· Ability to explain reports in clear, non-technical language (especially in meetings)

· Reliable follow-through, strong organization, and a high standard for accuracy
