Heyo!! My name is Matt and I am the owner of MPNW LLC, a small and growing Bookkeeping company. Over the past year, my company has tripled in size and it's finally time to bring on Team Members to grow a little larger. This is my second time starting and growing and firm - my last Firm had 16 employees and over 500 clients - and from that experience I'm set on a keeping this new group small, comfortable, manageable, promote from within, and keep things simple. Our current and future clients are remote-only, of quality standards, and not too difficult. My current employee, based of this exact same post, just hit full time and thus the need to meet you! DETAILS / BEST FIT (I think) * At First, I need about 20-40 hours a month of your time at this point. I don't want to overshoot expectations. As new clients in - we'll have more work. I hope this will turn into a full time job in about year, or it could remain part time if that's what's good for you. * I want to train you on my style of things: what to look for, answering "why a client did this," solutions ethical vs what a client wants to, payroll, basic HR, Quickbooks (Desktop/Online), other softwares, client communication. Hopefully you'll have some experience with Quickbooks, basic accounting, excel, Google Docs. * At first, you won't have direct contact with any clients - let's deal with the basics. You will also work with my other staff member, who will show you the ropes and you two are going to divvy up some client work. * Later on, we'll introduce you to clients and you will go on auto-pilot with these clients. When you have vacations or need time off, I'll have basic knowledge of your clients and I've got your back. (And vice-versa) * The more you can take on, the harder the tasks, the less hands on I am, the more I pay you. * Hours of Operations: Not concerned, whatever works for you. I'm generally a 9-5. If you have school or another job in the morning, we can do afternoons. * LOCATION: I do not have a physical office, but we should have co-working spot nearby where we can meet a few times for training by the summertime. So - this will be a 80-90% remote-only job. You'll be provided a PC Laptop, extra monitor, and other supplies that you need and you'll work from home or wherever you want. * TIMELINE: I am looking to start interviewing this month via Zoom. 2nd interviews at a local coffee shop. Hopefully we're working together in October ABOUT ME: I am 45, married into a large Scottish family, a HUGE concert goer, non-corporate, and very extroverted. I'm always optimistic, very helpful and giving, and always friendly! I have a cat that I'm obsessed with and I suck at woodworking - but practicing at that in my spare time. I've been in the accounting world about 18 years or so now, son of a CPA. I'll be a celebrity chef in my next life. :) COMPENSATION: $35/hour Please feel free to email me any questions and I am looking to start interviewing soon! Tell me a bit about yourself, add a swear word, be yourself! Looking forward to hearing from you!!!!
