Bookkeeper

ABOUT US We're building the next major player in the explosive Ready-to-Drink (RTD) and canned cocktail space. THE ROLE We're hiring a fractional Bookkeeper to run the day-to-day financial record-keeping as we prepare for launch and build out our business routines. You'll own the work that keeps our books clean and our numbers trustworthy: accounts payable and receivable, reconciliations, payroll support, and month-end close. You'll be the right hand to the COO across the broader finance function. Accurate, timely books directly shape the decisions we make, so this is a high trust position. The engagement is approximately 5 to 10 hours per month, and can be structured as a monthly retainer for the right candidate.

Startup or small-team experience strongly preferred. ● Strong grasp of double-entry bookkeeping, reconciliations, AP/AR, and the month-end close cycle ● Hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online, Ramp, Gusto (or similar platforms) and comfort learning new tools fast ● Excel power user. Comfortable building and maintaining financial trackers and schedules ● Working knowledge of payroll, sales tax, and multi-state compliance, or you can get up to speed fast ● Detail-obsessed and accurate. Clear communicator. Comfortable with ambiguity. Take ownership without being asked twice ● Trustworthy with confidential financials, scrappy, and eager to help build something from the ground up
