Bookkeeper (Part-Time, Remote)

Multi-Client Bookkeeper — Part-Time, Remote

Lakesite Accounting is seeking an experienced, detail-oriented Multi-Client Bookkeeper to join our bookkeeping team.

This is a hands-on, client-facing position managing day-to-day and month-end bookkeeping for a portfolio of small-business clients. You’ll work across multiple sets of books, manage competing deadlines, identify and resolve accounting issues, and communicate directly with business owners, CPAs, and other professionals.

• Hours: 15–20 hours/week initially, with the expectation of growing to 25–30 hours/week
• Location: Fully remote — U.S. based
• Schedule: Flexible schedule within normal business hours
• Compensation: $24–$26/hour, based on experience and qualifications

Why Join Lakesite?

• Grow with us: Opportunity to build from 15–20 hours/week to 25–30 hours/week
• Meaningful work: Manage client books rather than simply performing data entry
• Variety: Work with multiple businesses and industries
• Professional team: Collaborate with experienced accounting professionals
• Autonomy: We trust experienced professionals and don't micromanage
• Long-term opportunity: We're looking for someone to become a valued member of our growing team

Responsibilities

• Manage bookkeeping for multiple clients simultaneously
• Maintain QBO and/or Xero accounts
• Perform bank, credit-card, loan, and other reconciliations
• Handle AP, AR, payroll, journal entries, and month-end close
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies and unusual transactions
• Maintain clean, organized, audit-ready digital files
• Prepare sales tax filings and 1099s
• Support year-end closing and work with CPAs and tax professionals
• Communicate professionally with clients and team members
• Manage deadlines and priorities independently

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional bookkeeping experience
• Prior experience managing multiple clients simultaneously
• Public accounting, outsourced accounting, or bookkeeping-firm experience strongly preferred
• Strong QuickBooks Online experience and QBO ProAdvisor Certifications I & II
• Experience with reconciliations, month-end close, AP, AR, and payroll
• Strong Excel, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and exercise sound judgment
• U.S. based and authorized to work in the U.S.
• Xero experience and an accounting/finance degree or certification are a plus.

Who Thrives Here

You’ll be a strong fit if you:

• Take ownership and follow issues through to resolution
• Enjoy investigating discrepancies and solving problems
• Can effectively manage multiple clients and deadlines
• Communicate proactively and professionally
• Value accuracy, accountability, and continuous learning
• Take pride in delivering clean, accurate books—not simply finished books

This may not be the right role for someone whose experience has primarily been internal bookkeeping for a single company or who prefers repetitive, task-oriented work with limited client interaction.
