WE'RE HIRING BOOKKEEPING SIDELINERS!

What's a "Bookkeeping Sideliner?"

 Serena Shoup (Founder of Of Course Financial) & Alyssa Lang (Founder of Magnetic Bookkeeping & Consulting) are joining forces and looking to expand both their firms team and are seeking Senior Bookkeepers.

You won't just be any special Senior Bookkeeper but what we're coining as a 'Bookkeeping Sideliner'. 

For this role, we're both looking to build a roster of Senior Bookkeepers to have in our back pocket for when life, emergencies or team members need to step out and we need someone (like YOU) to step in temporarily. This is an on-call basis role with room to grow with our firms as needed. 

While the hours are not guaranteed, the pay starts at $30 per hour and depends on experience. If you're a seasoned bookkeeper who is interested in a flexible work arrangement and the opportunity to work with leaders in the industry actively growing their firms, then feel free to check out the job description below to learn how to apply.

 

 

Does this sound like you?

You’re a planner & implementor and you can manage your own deadlines. Your superpower is managing multiple projects and task lists

You’re a natural problem solver. When you see a problem, you know there’s a solution and you’ll find it. You’re super resourceful!

You’re analytical & strategic. You like to know the why behind what you do and figure things out.

You love details but know when not to let them bog you down.

You take ownership and bring ideas to the table, ready to implement them.

You’re someone who loves the entrepreneurial world, but doesn’t want to be an entrepreneur yourself. We call this the INTRAPRENEUR.

You aren’t afraid of communicating with vendors, clients, team, and others virtually, and you understand how important it is!

You understand what Of Course Financial and Magnetic Bookkeeping & Consulting are all about and you’re ready to play a critical role in helping us level up our clients!

 

DO YOU WANT TO JOIN AN ENTHUSIASTIC TEAM OF FAST-PACED GO-GETTERS, WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO HELP CLIENTS UNDERSTAND THEIR NUMBERS SO THEY CAN GROW THEIR NUMBERS AND HAVE MASSIVE IMPACT?

We are looking for Senior Bookkeeping Sideliners 

to join our teams!

 

Imagine what it'd be like coming to work where you're respected and have the opportunity to grow and learn new things while truly making an impact in the lives of others. You're surrounded by a team of ambitious bookkeepers who are supportive, encouraging, and push you to grow into the best version of yourself!

 

Imagine being not only appreciated but also celebrated for your hardwork and being able to streamline the way you do things instead of being told "that's just how we've always done it."

 

We're growing companies and we're looking for a four-leaf clover (Hint, that could be you!) to join our teams and help us meet our missions.

Let's get the bad news outta the way first:

🔘 The hours aren't guaranteed, and you'll be on-call but don't worry, we'll ask you for your general availability and we're flexible on when you login to do the work. BUT as you (and we) grow, this can become a fulltime position with our companies.

🔘 We're looking for someone who can step in as-needed and immediately bring value.  

🔘 We need a go-getter who already understands advanced bookkeeping concepts and has the ability to problem solve without hand-holding.

 Now let's talk about the good stuff:

  1. WE WORK REMOTELY (AKA VIRTUALLY💻)... Which means you don't have to wear 'business casual' or sit in traffic. You can come to work in your PJs or yoga pants. Whatever floats your boat. Just please wear clothes.

  2. THE HOURS ARE ON-CALL BUT FLEXIBLE...
    We support clients across the US so our only requirement is that during your time supporting us, you hit deadlines and work within the US Timezones.

  3. THE WORK IS ACCOUNTING, BUT IT'S STILL FUN & YOU'RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
    Since this is an as-needed role, you'll be supporting either of our firms in different areas as needed, but mostly related to client work for online business clients who are doing incredible things. 

Must Haves:

✅ Firm grasp of QBO &/or Xero accounting software

✅ Has superior grasp of the English language and can communicate verbally and in writing without coming across brash and abrasive to clients (soft skills are important!)

✅ Has an associates degree in accounting or a bookkeeping certificate PLUS a minimum one year of experience and has a firm grasp on debits and credits

✅ Ambitious, self-motivated, and enjoys problem solving

✅ Always thinking 5 steps ahead and takes initiative

✅ Loves researching & answering questions—being the 'go-to person'

✅ Flexible with shifting priorities and managing time

❌ Not a procrastinator

✅ Comfortable on Zoom & camera

✅ We use Loom to record processes, Notion, & Asana, so we expect you to use them too. Don't worry, we'll show you how!

✅ Comfortable working independently with technology and in a 100% cloud-based environment (no paper!)

Preferred:

➕ Has worked 1+ years in some sort of bookkeeping or accounting role but understands advanced concepts (like payroll entries, inventory, etc).

➕ Has knowledge of cloud-based technology. Some of the systems we use (and can train you on): Google Workspace, Gusto, Stripe, PayPal, Xero, Asana, Notion, Excel/Google Sheets, Slack, Canva, Shopify, Dubsado, Spark, Hubdoc, Adobe Acrobat, 1Password, TaxJar)
