Part-Time Bookkeeper / Payroll Accountant

This is a mostly remote role with the flexibility to work from home the majority of the time. We ask that you come on-site to our Phoenix location once or twice a month as needed. You will have a defined scope, report directly to ownership, and submit a simple weekly time sheet for management review.

BOOKKEEPING

• Enter and categorize all transactions in QuickBooks weekly
• Record customer payments and apply to open invoices
• Monitor accounts receivable and follow up directly with customers on outstanding balances
• Review and pay approved vendor invoices in a timely manner
• Reconcile bank accounts and credit card monthly
• Issue 1099s to qualifying contractors at year-end

PAYROLL

• Process payroll for 40 employees accurately and on time each pay period
• Apply all deductions correctly — taxes, benefits, garnishments, and 401(k) contributions
• Ensure 401(k) deferrals are remitted to the plan provider on time each pay period
• Remit federal and state payroll tax deposits on schedule
• Handle new hire setup and termination processing
• Issue W-2s and file W-3 at year-end

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Hands-on QuickBooks experience — this is required, not preferred
• Prior bookkeeping and payroll experience in a small business setting
• Comfortable communicating professionally with customers regarding outstanding invoices
• Experience processing 401(k) payroll deductions and remittances is a strong plus
• Someone who understands payroll tax deposit schedules and filing deadlines and takes them seriously
• Organized, self-directed, and communicates proactively — we should not have to chase you for updates

Pay: $30.00 - $40.00 per hour

Benefits:

• Paid sick time
