Someone who demonstrates exceptional reliability, accuracy, work ethic, and ability to learn can grow within the role. IMPORTANT — How to Apply Please do not send a generic application. Start your application with the words “ACCOUNTING SUPPORT” so we know you read the entire posting. Then answer these five questions: -How many years of experience do you have using QuickBooks Online, and what did you personally handle inside QuickBooks? -Describe your experience processing or assisting with payroll. -Have you handled employee or contractor onboarding/offboarding? If so, explain what you were responsible for. -What reports have you personally prepared for business owners or management? -You discover that the payroll spreadsheet, QuickBooks, and the company's payment records show three different amounts paid to the same contractor. What would you do before reporting the amount owed? We are looking to hire quickly, but we are looking for the right person. Accuracy, reliability, initiative, and work ethic will matter more to us than an impressive-sounding application.
