Join the Team at Limestone, Inc. as a Professional Bookkeeper!

Tired of being just a number-cruncher? At Limestone, you’ll own a full client portfolio, build real relationships, and grow your career on a schedule that works for your life. Limestone, Inc. is seeking a Bookkeeper to manage full-cycle services for our diverse clientele. You’ll be the bridge between data and clarity, performing self-reviews and working alongside our team to provide peer-reviewed reports that our clients trust.

Why Limestone, Inc.? At Limestone, we don't just value numbers; we value people. That shows through the long tenure of our employees. You’ll join a supportive, collaborative team that genuinely enjoys working together and upholding our core values of Efficiency, Dedication, Knowledge, Communication and Teamwork. We believe that your best work happens when your life is in balance. That’s why we offer a flexible, hybrid schedule once you are assigned to your client portfolio. While we start with a focused training period to get you up to speed, your long-term role is built around autonomy and a schedule that works for you!

Responsibilities

Core Bookkeeping (70% of your time)

• Manage Full-Cycle Accounts: Deliver end-to-end bookkeeping including Payroll, AP/AR, Account Reconciliation, and Tax Filing (Sales/Use/Excise).

• Quality Control: Ensure accuracy through self-review and records management to produce client-ready financial statements.

• Engagement: Bring a positive, "fun" energy to every client interaction and team collaboration.

Communication & Management (20% of your time)

• Client Advisory: Present financial data clearly, helping clients define problems and draw valid conclusions from their data.

• Ownership: Act as a self-reliant lead on your portfolio, managing deadlines with high attention to detail and proactive communication.

Growth & Development (10% of your time)

• Continuous Learning: Participate in weekly training and company-wide events to become a subject matter expert.

• Contribution: Actively improve internal processes and assist with special projects as assigned.

Key Competencies

• Technical Excellence: Solid accounting knowledge and business math skills; QuickBooks Online experience preferred (we work in both QuickBooks Online and Desktop, with a growing focus on Online).

• Analytical Mindset: Ability to collect data accurately and establish reliable facts.

• Soft Skills: Exceptional interpersonal communication, customer focus, and a "team-first" attitude.

• Self-Direction: Highly organized with the ability to perform to a high standard without constant supervision.

Room to Grow

We promote from within. Bookkeepers advance from Coder to Advanced Bookkeeper, with a clear path from there into roles like Client Manager, Controller Services, Tax Preparer, or Production Manager as you build your skills and take on more ownership.

• High client retention and satisfaction scores.

• Reliable, on-time delivery of all financial tasks and reports.

• Active participation in the Limestone "continuous improvement" culture.

• Accurate monthly billing that reflects the true value provided to our clients.

Once you’re trained and assigned to your client portfolio, you’ll have flexible hours built around your schedule.

• Tech-Forward Support: We set you up for success. Every team member is provided with the top-tier technology and tools necessary to perform their work effectively and efficiently.

• Collaborative & Responsive: While we prioritize work-life balance, our commitment to our clients means we occasionally "gear up" together to meet seasonal workloads or critical deadlines.

• Community-Centric: We are proud to be a part of the Sioux Falls business community and value the face-to-face relationships we build with our local clients.
