QuickBooks Online Support for Cleanup, Troubleshooting & Ad Hoc Projects (Not Monthly Bookkeeping)

I run a small bookkeeping and consulting firm and am looking for an experienced bookkeeper to provide occasional, on-demand support with special projects. This is not ongoing monthly bookkeeping work. The focus is on cleanup, troubleshooting, and investigative tasks that require critical thinking. I’m looking for someone who can step into a situation, assess what’s going on, and work toward a solution without needing step-by-step direction. I will provide context and direction as needed, but I’m not looking to manage tasks step-by-step. Type of Work: - QuickBooks Online cleanups and catch-up work - Investigating discrepancies (reconciliation differences, balance issues, etc.) - Reviewing and correcting prior bookkeeping errors - Researching proper accounting treatment for unusual transactions - Organizing and documenting findings clearly What I’m Looking For: - Strong experience with QuickBooks Online (required) - Experience with cleanup and troubleshooting work (not just data entry) - Ability to think critically and work through ambiguous situations - Clear and concise written communication - Comfortable asking questions when needed, but not dependent on constant direction - Preference for US-based or excellent English communication - Ability to take ownership of a task from start to finish and communicate findings clearly What This Is Not: - Not ongoing weekly/monthly bookkeeping - Not high-volume data entry - Not a rigid, checklist-only role Engagement Structure: - Ad hoc / project-based (hours will vary) - Small initial paid test project (2–3 hours) - Opportunity for ongoing project work if it’s a good fit - Work will be assigned as needed rather than on a set weekly schedule Please include the word ‘reconcile’ in your response so I know you’ve read the full posting. Bonus if you’ve worked with other bookkeeping firms or supported multiple clients at once. Looking for someone reliable who I can build a go-to relationship with for overflow and special projects.
