craiglist newyork -: Flexible p/t bookkeeper guru for our clients around WestLA (WestLA Area)

Flexible p/t bookkeeper guru for our clients around WestLA (WestLA Area)

Hello, thanks for reading.

You may have seen this ad before, but this time we need a PART-TIME bookkeeper to meet with our clients around the Westside, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, etc. We're estimating about 30 hours per week.

You'll probably be working from our office in Playa Del Rey some of the time, but there will be a significant amount of work at client locations.

The schedule will be pretty flexible, though of course we need you to be VERY dependable once a time has been set.

About Us

We are a small, rapidly growing, bookkeeping firm serving a pretty wide range of clients around West LA. We are fun, work hard, and like what we do. We're fairly casual, with that small-company feel, though we do clean up nicely if our clients stop by. We offer our clients excellent work with a very high level of service and attention to detail. Some of our work is done in-house, some from the client's location.

Note that this is a small business, currently operating out of a converted apartment where the owners used to live before they were (mostly) pushed out by the expanding business. This is not a high-power corporate setting, so if you need glass towers, a deli inside the building, and an assistant to the v.p. of cubicle affairs to report to, this may not be your place to thrive.

That said, no, you won't be working from a couch with a slow laptop on a coffee table (yes, we've been asked). Your workstation will include a desk, fast computer (complete with built-in detachable grumpy IT guy who also writes our craigslist ads), dual-monitors, printer, scanner, assorted office supplies, coffee, tea, and yes - the mainstay of every office - the trusty water-cooler.

About You

  • We feel perfectly confident having you work directly with our clients. Yes, our bread-and-butter, the light of our eyes, the fat of our wallets, with whom we have worked so hard to build relationships based on trust, pleasant experience, and truly impressive service. We won't hesitate to entrust our income and good name to you for safekeeping, because you are just that good.

  • You have the patience of a medicated oak tree. You don't get frustrated easily.

  • You have a nice phone personality, a nice email personality, and well, a nice personality.

  • You're highly organized. Working on lots of different stuff won't have you spinning in circles.

  • You have a strong accounting background, including some payroll (working with payroll company) and HR experience.

  • You are a QuickBooks whisperer. With a snap of your fingers, you can make the program sit up and beg for treats. You're reasonably confident in walking somebody through a basic procedure over the phone from memory. You take different versions in stride and you're familiar with QBOE. You probably haven't memorized (yuck!) everything about QuickBooks, but you know how to look it up or figure it out faster than lesser people can say "I memorized that!"

  • You are a hero at fixing systems that have been brutaly abused and neglected by those imposters, those cretins, those beady-eyed-miscounting-imposters - you know of whom I speak - lesser bookkeepers (Aaaahgh!). Sometimes multiple, conflicting, incompetent, baaaad bookkeepers who hated each other and are all unavailable for questions because they've been chased away by the enraged, incoherently gibbering, rock-throwing client.

  • You know your way around a PC pretty well. Sure, you're not a network engineer, but you won't have problems with email, file management, online banking, printing to PDF, uploading, downloading, running reports, working with spreadsheets, scanning etc. You can usually coax unfamiliar software into doing your bidding, at least well enough to get the job done.

  • You spend a lot of time communicating textually (texts, email, messaging, you know, the written word)... People won't wonder which of the many meanings to attribute to that sentence, or why you are typing all caps at them.

  • You'd rather get help than be left with that nagging feeling that you missed something.

  • You can wade hip-deep into an ambiguous situation with a panicked client, nail it down tight, and leave them feeling relieved and grateful (that's where the love is!).

  • You are mobile, and don't mind working from multiple locations.

  • Some of our clients may require a background check. Your identity doesn't go back three years and dead-end into a burned-down city hall in Potokie Arkansas.

  • Some of our clients may be home-based, or just have weird offices. They may have cats, dogs, children, flora, fauna, incense, good vibes, bad vibes, or smelly perfume. Your respiratory system is up to the task (no smoke or dangerous chemicals, just household stuff).

Now What?

Now, we're so glad we found you! Drop us a note - tell us whatever you want us to know, and include a resume and salary history for at least your last job or project.

We also hate having to open attachments -- consider just pasting everything in the body of your email. It's ok if it's not perfectly formatted.
