Job Description

Looking to join a fantastic remote team? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Accounting Therapy is a tenacious team of amazing accountants and bookkeepers! In fact, that’s our mission – to cultivate a team of accounting experts who love to serve small businesses. We’re looking for an open-minded human who loves QuickBooks and loves accounting. This human is detail-oriented, extremely coachable, and highly accountable. In terms of accounting, this person understands the difference between an asset and a liability, understands why a payroll liability may be reconciled to $0, and gets the heebie-jeebies when they see a balance in opening balance equity. In terms of personality, we are looking for someone who enjoys working and interacting with a team (yes, even in a remote environment!), likes working a traditional M-F schedule with a healthy work-life balance, and appreciates receiving regular constructive feedback to promote self-development and continuous improvement. If this sounds like you, once you join the cool kids club (aka Team Accounting Therapy), you can expect us to pour our resources into you. We think of each team member as a new member of the family and, in a perfect world, want you to grow and stay with us for a long, long while! Anticipate regular conversations about your professional and personal development and where you see yourself in the next 5-10 years. To drive it all home, this position is for you if… • You are an experienced QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop accountant. • You have a minimum of 3 years of accounting experience in QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. • You are extremely organized and have great time management skills. • You love living by a calendar and are schedule-oriented. • You like working a traditional M-F schedule and enjoy having your weekends off. • You have excellent written and verbal communication skills. • You love working with clients, are personable, and have a passion for helping small businesses achieve their goals. • You love working with a team and don’t mind being on camera in daily virtual meetings. • You are tech-savvy and not afraid to learn and use new apps. • Your attention to detail is off the charts and you regularly go above and beyond the status quo. • You are an inherent self-starter and like trying to solve your own problems! This position is 100% remote (we’ve got team members from coast to coast!), however, there are virtual weekly team meetings, and we highly encourage our teams’ attendance at a daily “Study-Hall Session” – an ongoing, drop-in style virtual group meet up where team members can get facetime, ask questions, and collaborate on projects (in fact, this is required during your 90-day intro period.) This position starts as a part-time position (20-30 hours per week) during the onboarding period but will grow into a full-time position (35-40 hours per week) most likely within 3-6 months of joining our team. Team benefits include up to a 4% 401k match, paid vacation and holidays, and supplemental insurance for eligible team members based on employment status. So, what’s it like to work at Accounting Therapy? • If we haven’t driven this point home yet, we are above all things a Team! Because of our unique remote setup, our team members get a lot of facetime with each other and develop actual, dare we say it… friendships. • We rely heavily on calendars to know what’s going on in each other’s world. We are totally fine with flexibility (i.e. you need to take your kiddo to dance on a Tuesday at 3 pm) as long as it’s on the calendar and work is getting done efficiently and on time. • We value honesty and transparency – if you’re struggling, say so, if you need help, ask for it – in our opinion, this is how trust is built and how improvements are made. • We also love to have fun. Our vibe is casual and personable but still professional, we are client-facing after all. • On the topic of clients… we are ultimately here to provide a top-notch service to our clients. This does not mean hiding our amazing personalities. It does mean we do what we say we are going to do when we say we are going to do it and we do it to the best of our ability utilizing all resources at hand. • We are client-facing and frequently have virtual on-camera meetings with our clients. • We are a very tech-heavy company; we use 6-7 apps daily to perform our jobs. • And finally, we invest a lot of time in cultivating our company culture! This includes hosting quarterly Spirit Rallies (think a fun state-of-the-union meeting), sporadic after-hours virtual happy hours, and an annual company virtual retreat called Space Camp!  Our Application Process Since we’re all about transparency, here’s a quick breakdown so you know what to expect! • Apply Online: Submit your application & resume by clicking the "Apply" button. • Virtual One-Sided Interview: Record a one-sided interview immediately after replying (you’ll receive a link via a message). This virtual interview is super important to us because communicating on camera is a huge part of our internal & external communication practices. We will not only be assessing your responses but also how your spectacular personality fits into our company culture and core values, so make sure to be yourself! • Review of Resume & Interview: We'll review your resume and virtual interview to assess fit. • Financial Assessment: Complete a 20-30 minute financial assessment if selected. • Assessment Review: We'll grade your assessment and inform you of the outcome. • Live Interview #1: If you pass, we'll schedule a live interview. • Live Interview #2: Successful candidates proceed to a second interview. • QuickBooks Assessment: Complete a QBO & QBDT assessment with our team leader. • Reference Check & Verification: We'll verify your employment and conduct background checks. • Offer Letter: Congratulations! If selected, you’ll receive an offer letter! Responsibilities: • The person in this position executes all tasks that a client accounting/bookkeeping project entails including but not limited to categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, reviewing financial reports for accuracy, communicating directly with the client to resolve any issues, preparing reports, and meeting with the client. • Bookkeeping tasks may also include recording sales transactions from 3rd party online platforms, recording 3rd party payroll, and/or reconciling intercompany accounts – as well as a myriad of other client-specific processes. • This position is part of the Accounting and Bookkeeping Team and requires you to be at the team’s weekly “Pulse” meeting that happens on Tuesdays. • There’s an opportunity for other ad-hoc projects as needed/wanted depending on the schedule, availability, and skill level. Qualifications: • Exceptional knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). • Must have a minimum of 3 years of QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop bookkeeping experience. • A high school diploma is required. • An associate or bachelor’s degree in accounting, business, or a related field is preferred. • Must have excellent organization, analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. • Must be extremely detail-oriented. This includes paying attention to the correct capitalization and spelling of QuickBooks as well as ProAdvisor. If either of these terms is incorrect on your resume, you will automatically be disregarded as a candidate. • Must be able available to work scheduled hours between 5 am PST – 6 pm PST, Monday – Friday. • Must be tech-savvy and not afraid to learn new apps or software! • Must have excellent Microsoft Office skills, especially with Excel and Outlook. • Must be eligible to work as a W2 employee in the United States. • Must live and work in a North American time zone. About Company: We are a quirky team that feels like a family. We work hard, we play hard and we value a work-life balance. We have been in business since 1996, ProAdvisors since 1999, and QuickBooks Solution Providers since 2006. We are excellent at what we do and our customers are loyal because we “treat everyone like our favorite aunt” (one of our core values!). Our vision is to grow an awesome team of accounting superheroes who are passionate about serving small businesses and saving them from financial insanity. We are diehard Gino Wickman fans and follow the Traction/EOS business model. If you are looking for a work family to grow with, learn with, and lean on, you’ve come to the right place! We love our team, we love our clients, and we love what we do! We look forward to reviewing your resume and video interview.
