Hire a Bookkeeper.

Weekly books, reconciliations, AR/AP, and the kind of ledger discipline that lets your accountant focus on close, not cleanup.

Overview

What a Bookkeeper actually does.

Bookkeepers in our network keep the daily ledger in shape — invoices reconciled, expenses categorized, vendor records clean — so month-end takes a day instead of a week. We vet for software fluency (QuickBooks, Xero), reconciliation accuracy, and the discipline to flag an anomaly before it becomes an audit comment.

Responsibilities

Categorize and reconcile bank, credit-card, and merchant feeds weekly
Process AR and AP — invoices in, bills out, ageing reports
Maintain vendor and customer records in QuickBooks or Xero
Prepare ledgers and supporting schedules for monthly close
Flag anomalies and unreconciled items to the senior accountant

How We Vet This Role

Role-scoped, not one-size-fits-all.

Bookkeeping candidates reconcile a sample three-month feed with seeded errors — we grade catch rate, categorization consistency, and the questions they ask before guessing.
