Senior Bookkeeper

We’re hiring a Senior Bookkeeper at BusyBee Bookkeeping Solutions, and we’d love to talk.

We’re a remote, family-owned bookkeeping firm that keeps our clients’ financials clean, their books audit-ready, and their owners out of the weeds. We’re growing, and we need an experienced right-hand who can own month-end review, field team questions, and eventually run our weekly huddles independently.

What we ask: show up, follow through, and be honest about your capacity. We’re building a team we can count on.

ROLE DETAILS

Job Type: Contract (Part-Time)

Location: 100% Remote

Rate: ~$45/hr (commission-based)

Starting Hours: ~15 hours/month

Growth Potential: Up to ~40 hours/month

Openings: 2 positions available

HOW THE PAY MODEL WORKS

We use a commission-based structure, strong performers earn more:

• Cleanup projects: you earn approximately 50% of the cleanup fee for the work you complete
• Ongoing monthly work: premiums added for review responsibilities and client-facing calls
• Average effective rate: ~$45–$50/hr or higher depending on the work you take on

This model rewards efficiency. The faster and cleaner your work, the better your effective rate.

BONUS QUALIFICATIONS

• Clio Manage experience (this comes with a bonus on your rate)

HOW WE WORK

Accuracy Over Speed - We handle real money and real decisions. Precision comes first, every time. If it's a choice between fast and correct, we choose correct.

Kind and Direct - We're honest, not harsh. We say what needs to be said, clearly and respectfully, without judgment.

Show Up and Follow Through - We respond. We meet deadlines. We stay present when things get messy. Reliability isn't a bonus, it's the baseline.
