Job Description
About the Role
We are a growing, fast-paced bookkeeping and tax firm in the heart of Covina, CA, looking for a skilled Full-Charge Bookkeeper to join our team. This role is designed for a detail-oriented professional who excels at both the technical mechanics of accounting and the human side of client service.
You will manage the day-to-day financial health and full-cycle payroll for a diverse portfolio of local small businesses. If you love taking a client’s messy books, cleaning them up, and processing their payroll this is the perfect role for you.
Key Responsibilities
- Bookkeeping: Manage the day-to-day financial transactions in QuickBooks Online and Desktop. Perform monthly reconciliations for bank accounts, credit cards, and loans.
- Payroll Administration: Process regular payroll for clients, manage direct deposits, track employee hours, and file quarterly/annual payroll tax returns (including California EDD forms).
- Financial Reporting: Generate, review, and send monthly Profit & Loss statements and Balance Sheets to clients, helping them understand their financial health.
- Year-End Clean-Ups: Perform "clean-up" work to ensure books are ready for tax season.
- Client Collaboration: Act as a primary point of contact for your portfolio, proactively communicating to gather missing documentation, answer accounting questions, and collect firm billing.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience: 3-5+ years of combined experience in bookkeeping and payroll (experience in a multi-client tax firm is preferred).
- Payroll Expertise: Strong understanding of full-cycle payroll, payroll taxes, and California labor/filing requirements.
- Software Savvy: Proficiency in QuickBooks Online & Desktop, Lacerte tax preparation software, and MS Excel.
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills; comfortable translating complex tax and accounting concepts to clients via phone, email, and in-person meetings.
- Reliability & Integrity: A high degree of ownership over your work. You take pride in "clean" books and meet strict compliance deadlines without being prompted.
Why Join Our Team?
- Growth: Real mentorship from tax professionals—we don't just want you to crunch numbers; we want you to grow with us.
- Retirement: SIMPLE IRA with a 3% employer match
- Benefits: Group health and dental insurance
- Work-Life Balance: Paid holidays, vacation time, and sick days, with flexible scheduling available outside of peak tax season
- Atmosphere: A friendly, supportive small-office environment where you are a valued member of the team
