Key Responsibilities
1. Senior Technical Support & Client Advisory
- Act as the internal escalation point for the bookkeeping team, resolving sophisticated accounting items (e.g., complex journal entries, revenue recognition, multi-entity consolidations, loan amortizations).
- Step into direct, client-facing scenarios to unpack complex financial situations, provide high-level clarity, and build deep client trust.
- Conduct quality assurance reviews on high-stakes client files to ensure compliance, accuracy, and GAAP standards.

- Evaluate, test, and implement AI-driven accounting software and automation tools to streamline our day-to-day bookkeeping workflows.
- Identify bottlenecks in our current tech stack (e.g., QuickBooks Online, Xero, Dext, Hubdoc) and introduce modern solutions to maximize team capacity.
- Train and upskill the existing bookkeeping team on how to effectively use AI tools and automated workflows, fostering a culture of continuous tech adoption.
Qualifications & Experience
