Job Description
Remote Bookkeeper (New Jersey Clients)
Shape Financial Clarity from Anywhere
What does it feel like to know you’re the one making complex finances simple for busy entrepreneurs and small businesses across New Jersey, without ever leaving your home office? In this remote bookkeeper position, your precision, discipline, and integrity will create the kind of peace of mind clients didn’t realize was possible. You’re not just keeping numbers in order—you’re giving leaders the confidence to plan boldly for the future, all while growing your own expertise in cloud-based accounting and remote collaboration.
Why This Role Matters
Every invoice you process and every report you deliver has ripple effects: clients use your insights to make payroll decisions, to launch new products, or to keep a dream alive in uncertain times. When you reconcile accounts, file tax documents, or untangle messy ledgers, you’re not just checking boxes—you’re helping businesses in New Jersey thrive with reliable, actionable data at their fingertips. Your work means their focus stays on growth and innovation.
What You’ll Achieve
- Deliver monthly, quarterly, and year-end financial statements that inspire trust and drive better decisions.
- Simplify the complexities of accounts receivable, payable, and payroll management for diverse clients.
- Analyze financial transactions and flag anomalies before they become issues.
- Harness cloud accounting tools like QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks to automate workflows and reduce friction for clients.
- Ensure compliance with state and federal regulations, guiding clients through tax deadlines and audits with calm expertise.
- Foster clear, concise communication—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or Loom—to keep everyone aligned and confident in the numbers.
Your Day-to-Day Flow
Imagine opening your dashboard in the morning and seeing exactly what matters: flagged transactions, overdue invoices, or a client question waiting in your inbox. You’ll dive into bank reconciliations, review cash flow reports, and craft clear explanations for non-financial audiences. Some days bring deep focus, such as untangling a year’s worth of transactions for a new client; others are about quick check-ins and proactive reminders to keep teams on track. Throughout, your attention to detail shapes an environment where clients feel seen and supported, not just managed.
Tools & Technology
You’ll use the latest in cloud bookkeeping solutions—think QuickBooks Online, Xero, Bill.com, and secure file-sharing platforms—to streamline every process. Familiarity with remote workflow tools like Slack, Asana, and Google Workspace means you can collaborate and solve problems as they arise, no matter where you are. Your comfort with spreadsheets is second nature, but your real skill is making complex data feel accessible and actionable for others.
Who Thrives Here?
Curiosity, integrity, and clear thinking are your superpowers. You know that behind every spreadsheet row is a business owner with hopes and worries. You find satisfaction in both routine and complexity, balancing daily transactions while solving unique challenges for clients from various industries. If you appreciate quiet concentration but also enjoy connecting with people over video chat, this is the ideal environment for you. You’ll have space to grow your knowledge in remote bookkeeping best practices and sharpen your skills in client-focused communication.
The Impact You’ll Make
Your expertise empowers clients to approach tax season with confidence, rather than dread. Your proactive approach helps them avoid penalties and discover savings they didn’t know existed. By demystifying finances, you become a trusted partner, not just a vendor. Every workflow you improve, every system you automate, and every insight you share is an investment in your clients’ long-term stability and growth.
What Sets You Apart
- Mastery of cloud-based accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks).
- Deep experience with monthly close processes, reconciliations, and detailed financial reporting.
- Comfort navigating remote work—leveraging digital tools to collaborate, problem-solve, and stay organized.
- The ability to turn complex accounting data into stories and strategies that clients can act on.
- Commitment to ongoing learning in both bookkeeping practices and technology.
- Prior experience with New Jersey business tax codes or multi-state compliance is a bonus.
Compensation & Benefits
Annual salary: $51,344. You’ll find flexibility, a supportive team culture, and the autonomy to set your own schedule around the needs of your clients. We encourage professional development and provide access to continuing education in accounting, tax law, and remote work best practices.
