Open to hourly or a fixed monthly retainer based on experience. **To Apply, Please Answer the Following:** 1. What is your experience with QBO for construction job costing? What features or setup do you use? 2. How have you handled non-profit fund accounting in QBO? 3. What is a recent QBO feature or update you've implemented for a client that made a meaningful difference? 4. Are you a QBO ProAdvisor? If so, what certification level? 5. Your hourly rate or proposed monthly retainer We're looking for a long-term partner who will grow with both organizations and help us get the most out of QuickBooks Online.
