Bookkeeper

Part-Time Bookkeeper | QuickBooks Desktop

Massapequa, NY | 20–25 Hours per Week | Flexible Schedule | On-Site

Do You Take Pride in Getting Every Detail Right?

There's something satisfying about reconciling an account, tracking down a discrepancy, and knowing everything balances.

If you're someone who enjoys keeping things organized, takes pride in accurate work, and likes being the person others can depend on, this might be the perfect opportunity for you.

Nexus Staff is recruiting an experienced Part-Time Bookkeeper for a growing, privately held specialty manufacturing company in the Massapequa area of Long Island.

Our client is a small, entrepreneurial business that combines technical expertise, craftsmanship, and creativity to deliver specialized products to customers nationwide.

We're looking for someone who can bring structure, accuracy, and consistency to the financial side of the business while working directly with its owner.

This isn't a large corporate accounting department. It's a hands-on environment where your work matters, your contributions are visible, and your ability to keep things organized makes a real difference.

What You'll Be Doing

• Manage daily bookkeeping activities using QuickBooks Desktop .
• Handle accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoicing, and payment tracking.
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and financial transactions.
• Maintain accurate, organized financial records.
• Prepare financial reports and provide timely updates to the owner.
• Track expenses, vendor transactions, and outstanding balances.
• Investigate discrepancies and follow through until they're resolved.
• Support month-end bookkeeping and reporting activities.
• Assist with inventory-related bookkeeping as needed.
• Potentially support a transition from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

You'll Enjoy This Role If...

You notice the little things. Accuracy matters to you, and you take satisfaction in knowing the numbers are right.

You finish what you start. You don't like loose ends, missed details, or unfinished tasks.

You appreciate a good process. Once you understand how something needs to be done, you follow through consistently without needing reminders.

You're naturally organized. Keeping records accurate, maintaining order, and staying on top of details comes naturally to you.

You enjoy working independently. You appreciate clear expectations and the freedom to take ownership of your responsibilities.

You're dependable. You show up when expected, meet your commitments, and take pride in being someone others can count on.

You can adapt when things change. You understand that small businesses move quickly, priorities sometimes shift, and flexibility is part of being a good team member.

You work well with creative people. You appreciate entrepreneurial thinking and enjoy providing the organization and consistency that help great ideas become successful businesses.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Previous hands-on bookkeeping experience.
• Strong QuickBooks Desktop proficiency is required.
• Experience with accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Ability to take direction, learn established procedures, and work independently.
• Strong follow-through, punctuality, and dependability.
• Good communication skills and the ability to provide clear, timely updates.
• Ability to work on-site in Massapequa, NY.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with QuickBooks Online.
• Experience transitioning from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
• Bookkeeping experience in manufacturing, distribution, or an inventory-based business.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel.
• Familiarity with purchasing, vendor transactions, inventory accounting, or job costing.

A Little About the Opportunity

You'll work directly with a creative, hands-on business owner who is passionate about growing the company.

Your role will be to help keep the financial side of the business organized, accurate, and running smoothly.

The work will require attention to detail, consistent follow-through, and a willingness to adapt as business needs evolve.

It's a small team, which means everyone occasionally pitches in. You'll need to be comfortable with changing priorities while maintaining the accuracy and reliability that good bookkeeping requires.

We value someone who can provide structure without being rigid, take direction without needing constant supervision, and bring a positive, can-do attitude to work every day.

• Flexible scheduling Monday through Friday, between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM
• 100% on-site in the Massapequa, NY area
• Temporary or temp-to-hire opportunity through Nexus Staff

This opportunity is well suited to an experienced professional seeking meaningful part-time work, whether you're returning to the workforce, transitioning from a full-time schedule, or looking to contribute your expertise while maintaining flexibility.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Your Work Matters. You'll have a direct impact on the day-to-day financial organization of a growing business.

Flexible Scheduling. Enjoy part-time hours while continuing to do meaningful, rewarding work.

Independence & Ownership. Take responsibility for your work and enjoy the satisfaction of seeing tasks through to completion.

A Creative, Entrepreneurial Environment. Be part of a small team where craftsmanship, innovation, and hard work come together.

Room to Grow. As the business expands, there may be opportunities for additional hours and responsibilities.

Sound Like Your Kind of Work?

You don't need to be the loudest person in the room or someone who constantly seeks the spotlight.

You just need to be someone who takes pride in being accurate, organized, dependable, and exceptionally good at what you do.

If you enjoy keeping things running smoothly, solving problems, and knowing that your work makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
