  • Solid understanding of bookkeeping and small business accounting principles.
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive under seasonal deadlines and shifting workloads.
  • A collaborative, team-oriented mindset and commitment to quality work.
  • EA or CPA credentials are preferred, but not required, experience and skill matter most.

    • What We Offer :

  • Competitive seasonal compensation based on experience (hourly or project-based)
  • Flexible work hours and remote options available
  • Typical schedule : Monday–Friday, 8 : 00 a.m.–5 : 30 p.m. (February through mid-April)

  • Potential to transition into a permanent, year-round role for the right candidate
  • Seasonal position anticipated from January through April, with onboarding in December

    • What Makes This Role Great :

  • Supportive, team-focused culture that values your expertise
  • Flexibility to balance work and life — even during busy season
