Job description
From Assistant Launch’s job post, as they wrote it.
Remote · Part-time (4–6 hours/day) · Pacific Time, 9:00 AM–2:00 PM
About the role
Our client is a vacation rental business that needs a detail-oriented, tech-savvy bookkeeper to keep their books accurate and up to date. You'll own the day-to-day accounting, from reconciliations to owner payouts, and work directly with the owner, with support from an external accountant and a CPA at tax time.
This role is a great fit for someone who takes ownership, catches small details before they become problems, and looks for ways to work faster and with fewer errors, using integrations, copy-paste and automation instead of manual data entry.
