Now Hiring: Remote Bookkeeper (Contract, Part-Time to Full-Time)
Work from Anywhere | Must be US based (1099)

Sound Advice Bookkeeping is on a mission to bring clarity, structure, and peace of mind to growing businesses through thoughtfully optimized bookkeeping. Since 2006, we've been the financial backbone for small businesses, startups, and nonprofits in over 12 states.

As we grow, we're looking to add an experienced, detail-obsessed Remote Bookkeeper to our fully virtual team of accounting professionals. If you thrive in a flexible, fast-paced environment where quality work and client care come first—and where results matter more than clock-punching—we want to meet you.

About the Role

As a Bookkeeper, you’ll provide remote financial support to a portfolio of assigned clients (typically 18–25 once fully ramped). Reporting to the Managing Partner and working closely with our team, you’ll use your expertise in QuickBooks Online to ensure timely, clean books and accurate reporting. This is a 1099 contract role requiring approximately 100–140 hours/month after ramp-up (minimum 20–25 hours/week).

We use a Results-Oriented Work (ROW) approach: no micromanagement, but you must be available for client Zooms and team meetings during standard business hours (MST).

Import historical bank/credit card transactions (YTD or specified range)
