Bookkeeper - Remote, PT

Part-Time Remote Bookkeeper (Nonprofit Focus)

From $25 per hour | 10–12 hrs/week, fluctuates with client workload | Flexible weekday schedule (between 8am–4pm CST)

We’re a small, remote team supporting nonprofits with clear, reliable financials. We’re looking for an experienced bookkeeper who can take ownership of client work and operate independently.

For submissions to be considered (really):

→ Recent, current working knowledge of QBO is required

→ Screener questions must be completed

→ Availability during daytime business hours is required (this position isn’t an evening/weekend/complete anytime position)

→ If not addressed elsewhere in your submission, tell us why you're applying. If your resume shows a full-time position and you're currently employed, for example, close the gap for us on why you're applying for a part-time position with daytime business hours.

What this role looks like

This is not a task-based support role. You’ll manage a small portfolio of nonprofit clients and be responsible for the quality and accuracy of their books.

What you’ll do

• Manage full-cycle bookkeeping for multiple nonprofit clients in QuickBooks Online (QBO)
• Keep the books clean and accurate by recording transactions, reconciling accounts, and staying on top of the general ledger
• Work comfortably in QBO and other cloud tools to keep things moving smoothly day to day
• Reconcile bank and credit card accounts regularly, catching and correcting anything that doesn’t line up
• Support payroll processing so everything is timely and accurate
• Review accounts with a thoughtful eye, flagging anything that looks off and digging in to understand why
• Prepare monthly financials (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Budget vs. Actual)
• Communicate directly with clients to clarify data and explain results
• Maintain clean, accurate books and improve processes where needed

What you’ll need

• 3+ years of bookkeeping or accounting experience
• Strong, recent QuickBooks Online experience (required)
• Experience managing multiple clients at the same time (required)
• Comfort working independently in a fully remote environment

Nonprofit experience is a plus, but not required.

What we value

• Ownership. You notice issues and take action
• Clear, professional communication with non-accountants
• Ability to manage multiple clients without constant oversight
• Comfort working in different QBO setups and structures
• Calm, reliable follow-through

Role details

• Part-time by design - This role typically averages around 10–12 hours per week. Some weeks may be lighter (closer to 7–8 hours), while others are closer to 15 depending on client needs and timing within the month.
• 100% remote, async-friendly
• Small team, low-drama, high-trust environment

How to apply

Please submit:

• Your resume
• A short note on why this role fits what you’re looking for - extra points if you Include a snack you will always say yes to in your response.
