Part-Time Accounting & Operations Assistant (20 hrs/week)
$21/hour | Flexible Schedule | Remote (Local Candidates Preferred)

We are looking for a dependable, detail-oriented assistant to support day-to-day accounting and administrative tasks. This role is primarily focused on maintaining accurate records, managing spreadsheets, and handling routine financial processes.

This is a part-time, execution-focused role. It’s best suited for someone who enjoys structured, repetitive work and can stay organized without constant supervision.

What You’ll Do

  • Enter and maintain financial data in QuickBooks
  • Assist with accounts payable, including setting up payments and wires
  • Manage and update tracking spreadsheets (daily/weekly)
  • Send routine emails and follow-ups
  • Maintain organized records and documentation
  • Perform basic data checks and assist with reconciliations
  • Support ongoing cleanup and organization of financial data

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience with QuickBooks or similar accounting software
  • Strong Excel skills and comfort working in spreadsheets daily
  • High attention to detail and accuracy
  • Reliable, responsive, and able to work independently
  • Comfortable with repetitive, process-driven tasks

Important Notes

  • This role requires someone who can work with minimal supervision and follow established processes
  • Workload may vary week to week, but consistency and reliability are key
  • While remote, preference is for candidates local to the area who can occasionally assist with small in-person tasks (e.g., picking up mail)

Details

  • Part-time: ~20 hours per week
  • Pay: $21/hour
  • Flexible schedule (within standard business hours)
  • No benefits

This role is a good fit for someone looking for steady part-time work, flexibility, or supplemental income—not a full-time accounting career track.

To apply: Please include a brief note describing your experience with QuickBooks and Excel, and confirm your current location.

Pay: From $20.00 per hour

Benefits:
