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.

We are looking for an experienced Controller / Client Accounting Lead to own accounting delivery for a portfolio of startup clients. This is a senior, client-facing role for someone with startup accounting experience, multi-client services experience, strong systems fluency, and the ability to manage close, reporting, review, and client communication with a high degree of autonomy. This is not a bookkeeping role. We are looking for a controller-level accounting owner who can review work prepared by senior accountants, communicate directly with clients, and help improve delivery through better systems, process discipline, automation, and AI-enabled workflows. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Serve as the primary accounting lead for assigned startup clients. - Own monthly close, financial reporting, reconciliations, workpapers, and client accounting workflows. - Review work prepared by senior accountants and other supporting team members. - Communicate directly with founders, finance leads, operators, auditors, investors, and other stakeholders. - Work across QuickBooks Online and related systems that feed the general ledger, including payroll, AP, spend management, billing, revenue, inventory, project accounting, and reporting tools. - Apply practical accounting judgment across SaaS, hardware, inventory, manufacturing, CapEx, project accounting, government contracts, grants, reimbursable programs, and multi-entity structures. - Help improve internal accounting workflows through templates, documentation, automation, AI tools, and scalable processes. WHO THIS IS IDEAL FOR This role is ideal for someone who has been a controller, senior accounting manager, or outsourced accounting lead for startups and wants meaningful client ownership, technical complexity, and a role in shaping a modern accounting delivery model. REQUIRED EXPERIENCE - 8+ years of progressive accounting experience. - Prior multi-client experience in an accounting firm, outsourced accounting firm, fractional finance firm, or similar client-service environment. - Hands-on accounting experience with venture-backed startups, high-growth companies, or similarly dynamic operating environments. - Experience owning month-end close and financial reporting end-to-end for at least one company or client. - Experience serving as the primary accounting point of contact for clients, founders, executives, or senior stakeholders. - Experience reviewing accounting work prepared by other accountants. - Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and QuickBooks Online. - Strong systems fluency across tools that feed the general ledger. - Must be based in the United States. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE - CPA or public accounting, audit, advisory, or operational accounting background. - Experience with deeptech, hardtech, applied AI, robotics, defense, climate, manufacturing, or R&D-heavy companies. - Experience with SaaS, usage-based revenue, hardware, inventory, manufacturing, CapEx, project accounting, services revenue, government contracts, grants, or reimbursable programs. - Interest in using AI, automation, and workflow tools to improve accounting efficiency, documentation, and client delivery. WORKING RELATIONSHIP There is potential to expand depending on fit, client needs, and availability. The role will work directly with Alta’s Managing Partner and collaborate with senior members of the client accounting team. WHY THIS IS INTERESTING - Work with technically complex startups building world-changing technologies. - Operate as a trusted accounting partner to founders, operators, and finance leaders. - Help build a scalable, technology-enabled accounting delivery model.
