Accounting / Bookkeeping Assistant

About Kirby Landscaping

Kirby Landscaping is a growing landscaping company built on reliable work and strong client relationships. As we continue to grow, we're building out our accounting team to keep pace. This role was created as part of that growth, and it's a real chance to grow with the company.

The Role

We're looking for an organized, detail-oriented Accounting/Bookkeeping Clerk to support our accounting team with day-to-day bookkeeping. This is a permanent position that starts part-time (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–2:00 PM), with full-time hours likely in early 2027. You'll work closely with our Senior Staff Accountant, handling the transactional work that keeps our books accurate across two systems (Aspire and QuickBooks), and you'll be trained into month-end close over your first few months. This is a great fit for someone who enjoys steady, process-driven work and wants to build real accounting skills.

Is This a Good Fit for You?

We'd rather be upfront now than have either of us find out a few weeks in. Here's the honest picture:

● Most of the day is data entry and reconciliation. A lot of it is repetitive, and much of it gets entered in two systems. If you like getting numbers to tie out, you'll enjoy this. If you're looking for variety or a client-facing role, this probably isn't it.

● This job starts part-time: 30 hours a week, Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–2:00 PM. We expect to need more hours, likely full-time, starting in early 2027, for a stretch and possibly longer. If you want part-time now but would be open to full-time hours when that comes, you're exactly who we're looking for.

● Most of your day overlaps with our Senior Staff Accountant, so help is right there when you need it. The last hour is usually heads-down work on your own.

● The first month is a learning curve: two systems, multiple cardholders, and a lot of vendors. We expect questions and we'll train you. Accuracy matters more than speed early on.

What You'll Do

Daily & Weekly

● Reconcile daily bank deposits and transactions across Aspire and QuickBooks

● Enter customer payments against invoices in Aspire

● Enter expenses and record transactions in both Aspire and QuickBooks

● Process credit card payments on a weekly/bi-weekly schedule

Monthly

● Enter and track NET 30 vendor invoices and payments (Accounts Payable)

● Code and reconcile credit card statements across multiple cardholders (AMEX & Capital One)

● Support revenue entry, copying invoices from Aspire to QuickBooks, organized by division

● Assist with accounts receivable aging and outstanding balance tracking

As You Grow

● Direct, hands-on training from our Senior Staff Accountant on month-end close: journal entries, intercompany transactions, COGS, depreciation, and prepaids

What We're Looking For

● 2–4 years of bookkeeping, AP/AR, or general accounting experience, some exposure to month-end close (journal entries, reconciliations) strongly preferred, since this role grows into that work

● Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks (required); familiarity with Aspire is a plus but not required, we'll train you

● Comfortable handling high transaction volume and juggling multiple vendors/accounts without losing accuracy

● Strong attention to detail, this role directly supports our monthly financial close

● Reliable, organized, and able to work independently once trained

● Good communicator, you'll be coordinating with our Senior Staff Accountant regularly

Nice to Have

● Experience in construction, landscaping, home services, or another field-based industry

● Experience with multi-entity or intercompany accounting

What We Offer

● Competitive pay: $25.00–$27.00 per hour

● Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–2:00 PM to start (about 30 hours a week), with full-time hours likely beginning in early 2027. The starting hours work well with school drop-off and pickup.
