What are the responsibilities and job description for the Administrative Assistant position at Krause Accounting Group?
About us
Krause Accounting Group is a growing accounting and fractional-CFO firm serving small businesses and nonprofits across Washington. We handle bookkeeping, tax, and advisory work, and we're building a team that delivers excellent work without burning out. This is a newly designed role at the center of how we operate.
The role
We're hiring an Administrative Assistant to be the right hand to one of our owners and keep client work moving. You'll be the person who keeps the machine running: owning the inbox, coordinating with clients, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks so our senior team can focus on high-value work.
This is a long-term role with real room to grow. You'll work closely with the owners, learn directly from them, and take on more responsibility, and earn raises, as you build your skills.
What you'll do
- Triage and manage a busy inbox: sort, prioritize, handle routine replies, and flag what needs an owner's attention
- Coordinate with clients: request and follow up on documents, schedule calls, answer straightforward questions, and keep things moving
- Keep tasks and deadlines on track in our practice-management and bookkeeping software (for example, Canopy and QuickBooks Online, experience not required)
- Prep for client meetings and help the owners stay on top of follow-ups
- During tax season, help with document handling: scanning and organizing client documents at our office, and occasionally dropping off or picking up documents
- Bring order to the day-to-day so the whole team can do its best work
Location and schedule (please read carefully)
This is a hybrid role built around our Puyallup / South Hill, WA office.
- Mostly remote: you'll work from home most of the time
- Up to about one day per week in the office, with more in-person time during tax season (roughly February to April)
- Some tasks are inherently in person: scanning documents at the office, and occasionally dropping off or picking up documents
- You must live within reasonable commuting distance of Puyallup / South Hill and be able to come in on short notice when needed
Who you are
- Driven and eager to grow: you want to build a career and take on more over time, not just fill a seat
- Exceptionally organized and detail-oriented, the person who never lets things slip
- A clear, professional written communicator (most of the job is email)
- Discreet and trustworthy, since you'll handle confidential client and financial information
- Proactive and self-directed, comfortable working independently and running your own day
- Tech-comfortable and quick to pick up new software (we'll train you on ours)
- Reliable and responsive, especially during busy periods
We hire for drive over experience. No accounting or bookkeeping background needed. What matters most is that you're motivated, organized, great with people, and eager to learn. Bring the hustle and the right attitude, and we'll teach you the rest, and invest in your growth as you take on more.
Nice to have (but not required): customer-service experience, or prior work as an executive or administrative assistant.
What we offer
- Two weeks (10 days) of paid time off per year
- Health insurance available after your first 90 days
- A company Mac, plus home-office setup covered after 90 days
- Flexible, mostly-remote schedule built around the Puyallup / South Hill office
- Direct mentorship from the firm's owners, with a genuine growth path and real raises for strong performers
