ASSISTANT BOOKKEEPER JOB DESCRIPTION

Across small and mid-sized businesses in the United States, accounting accuracy depends far less on the senior accountant than on whoever processes invoices, reconciles bank statements, and catches coding errors before month-end close. That daily operational layer is where the Assistant Bookkeeper works. Reporting into a Lead Bookkeeper, Finance Manager, or CFO depending on company size, this role owns the transaction record for accounts payable and receivable, general ledger maintenance, and payroll support. The work demands close adherence to federal and state tax filing schedules and internal controls.

You will own the day-to-day transaction cycle and ledger integrity, serving as the Assistant Bookkeeper who keeps financial records accurate, current, and audit-ready across the full AP, AR, and reconciliation workflow. The role sits within a small accounting team and operates with direct visibility to senior finance leadership, carrying accountability for timeliness and accuracy across monthly and quarterly close cycles.

Career Impact: Consistent exposure to AP, AR, payroll processing, and month-end close at the SMB level builds the practical accounting depth that accelerates a path toward a full-charge Bookkeeper or Staff Accountant title.

Business Impact: The accuracy of vendor payments, payroll runs, and bank reconciliations this role produces directly determines cash flow visibility for company leadership and on-time obligations to suppliers and employees.

Growth Opportunity: Hands-on ownership of general ledger coding, reconciliations, and financial report preparation positions you to move into a Senior Bookkeeper or Junior Accountant role with measurably broader scope.

• Process accounts payable invoices and prepare payments to vendors, ensuring coding accuracy against the general ledger chart of accounts.

• Assist with month-end and quarter-end close activities including journal entries, accruals, and preparation of trial balances.
• Maintain an organized financial filing system for invoices, vendor contracts, receipts, and supporting documentation.
• Prepare basic financial reports and account summaries for review by the Lead Bookkeeper, Finance Manager, or CFO.
• Coordinate with external accountants during annual audits and tax return preparation by supplying requested schedules and documentation.

• Prior experience supporting payroll tax filings, quarterly returns, or annual W-2 preparation.
• Familiarity with accounts receivable collections processes, including aging report analysis and payment arrangement monitoring.
• Experience in a multi-entity or multi-company accounting environment.

• AP invoice processing accuracy rate, measured as the percentage of invoices coded and entered without errors requiring correction.
• Bank reconciliation completion within 5 business days of month-end close, with zero unresolved variances carried forward.
• Payroll processing on-time rate across all weekly or bi-weekly payroll runs, with no late filings incurring penalties.
• Accounts receivable aging under 60 days, reflecting consistent follow-up on outstanding client invoices.
• Month-end close task completion rate, tracking timely delivery of journal entries and trial balance support to the Lead Bookkeeper.
• Typical tools: accounting software (commonly QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online); spreadsheet applications (commonly Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets).

• Base Salary Range: $38,000 to $50,000 annually, depending on experience and market
• Bonus: Discretionary annual bonus; performance-based, typically 3 to 5%
• Equity: Not typically offered at this level in SMB settings
