About Us

We’re Basta & Company, a San Francisco–based CPA firm specializing in real estate and construction businesses nationwide. We're built on three principles: obsessively clean books, straight-talk communication, and treating clients like professionals (not spreadsheet numbers).

About the Role

You’ll own the day-to-day and month-end bookkeeping for a portfolio of U.S. small business clients. Most of your day will be spent in QuickBooks Online and our internal tools, keeping books accurate, closing months on time, and answering basic client questions about their numbers. This is remote, but it’s not “work whenever” — we need you online, responsive, and available 10am–6pm PST. Why You’ll Want to Work Here We’re not promising ping-pong tables and fake “startup vibes.” Here’s what you actually get:

• Stability, not gig-hopping – long-term role with one firm, consistent workload
• Real growth, not busywork – chance to grow into Senior Bookkeeper / Client Manager over time
• Annual performance bonus – when the firm wins, you share in it
• PTO + paid holidays – because burnout is useless to everyone
• Weekly team fun time – short online team game/hangout to keep things human
• Training & tools – we’ll train you on Keeper, Karbon, and how we run workflows
• Respect for your time – clear expectations, no nonsense, no last-minute fire drills “just because.”

What You’ll Do

• Handle day-to-day bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online for multiple clients
• Work bank feeds and perform bank and credit card reconciliations in QBO
• Post and reconcile payroll entries and keep payroll-related accounts clean
• Manage the month-end close and hit deadlines consistently
• Assist clients with troubleshooting QBO and payroll issues
• Spot and flag issues early (missing info, weird transactions, cash flow concerns)
• Communicate with clients via email and online calls in a clear, professional, and friendly way
• Follow and help improve our internal workflows in Keeper / Karbon

What We’re Looking For Must-haves:

• 2–3 years of recent, hands-on bookkeeping experience in QuickBooks Online
• Solid understanding of basic accounting (debits/credits, reconciliations, month-end close)
• Excellent customer service and communication skills – you’re comfortable talking to business owners
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through
• Able to manage multiple clients without dropping balls
• Available online 10am–6pm PST, Monday–Friday
• Resident of Arizona

Nice-to-haves (big plus):

• Experience working at a CPA firm or bookkeeping firm
• Experience with construction clients
• Experience with workflow tools like Keeper or Karbon

Compensation & Benefits

• Hourly rate: $21–$24/hour (depending on experience)
• First 90 days: 1099 contractor (same hourly rate)
• After successful 90 days: W-2 employee with:
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Paid holidays
• Annual performance-based bonus

How to Apply

Apply through LinkedIn and include:

• Your resume
• A short note on your QuickBooks Online experience (types of clients + what you actually did: month-end close, AP/AR, payroll, etc.)

Optional, but very helpful: Record a quick 1–2 minute video (phone is fine) where you:

• Introduce yourself
• Talk about your most recent QBO bookkeeping role
• Share what part of QBO you enjoy most (month-end close, AP, AR, payroll, etc.)

If you want steady work, clear expectations, real benefits, and room to grow within a single firm, I’d like to hear from you. Samy B. CEO Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
