Schedule: Hybrid – 2–3 set days per week in office, remaining hours remote

Hours: 15–20 hours/week to start, growing to full-time as the client base grows

ABOUT THE ROLE

T. Creasy & Company is a growing accounting and tax practice in Cloverdale serving small businesses, nonprofits, and individuals across the Roanoke Valley. We handle bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, multi-state returns, and advisory work for owners who want clean books and real answers.

We're looking for an experienced, self-directed bookkeeper to own a portfolio of client books from month to month. You'll work directly with the firm's owner, and this is a hands-on, team-oriented role: we work side by side in the office several days a week because that's where the best work and the best working relationships happen. The position starts part-time and is built to grow into full-time as the practice expands.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Client bookkeeping

• Maintain books for a portfolio of small-business and nonprofit clients in QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop

• Complete monthly and quarterly closes, including bank, credit card, and loan reconciliations

• Categorize transactions, manage bank feeds and rules, and keep A/R and A/P current

• Perform cleanup and catch-up work on books that have fallen behind

• Prepare month-end financial statements and flag issues for review

Payroll

• Process client payroll accurately and on schedule

• Prepare and file quarterly and annual payroll returns, including Forms 941 and 940, Virginia withholding and VEC unemployment filings, W-2s/W-3s, and 1099s

• Maintain employee setup, deductions, and payroll records

Tax-season support (January–April)

• Send and track client organizers and document requests

• Organize incoming client documents and prepare year-end books for tax preparation

• Enter data into Drake Tax under the owner's review

Firm operations

• Communicate with clients professionally by email and phone to gather information and resolve questions

• Follow firm procedures and checklists, and help improve them as we grow

WHAT YOU BRING

Required

• 5+ years of hands-on bookkeeping, with experience managing multiple clients or entities at once

• Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop

• Experience processing payroll and preparing federal and state payroll filings

• Solid grasp of accrual vs. cash accounting, reconciliations, and the month-end close

• Strong attention to detail and the discipline to meet recurring deadlines without reminders

• Clear, professional written and verbal communication with clients

• Reliable transportation to the Cloverdale office 2–3 days per week

• Ability to handle confidential financial information with discretion

Preferred

• Experience in a CPA or accounting firm setting

• Familiarity with Drake Tax or another professional tax software

• Experience with Virginia payroll and VEC filings

• QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification

• Nonprofit bookkeeping experience

WORK ARRANGEMENT AND WHAT WE OFFER

This is a hybrid role with 2–3 set in-office days each week; the rest of your hours can be worked remotely. In-office days are scheduled in advance and are a firm requirement, not optional. Expect heavier hours from January through April.

• A clear path from part-time to full-time as the client base grows

• Direct work with the firm's owner, with real input into how the practice runs

• Remote flexibility on non-office days

• Current tools, including the Intuit Accountant Suite and AI-assisted workflows

• A varied client mix: small businesses, nonprofits, and contractors

• SIMPLE IRA retirement plan once eligible, plus paid holidays
