The Dog House Catering is looking for a reliable freelance bookkeeper to help keep our books current on a flexible schedule.
We're looking for someone interested in building a long-term working relationship with a small local business. Initially, the focus will be bringing our 2026 bookkeeping up to date and then keeping everything current going forward.
The workload varies throughout the year based on our business needs. At times there may be up to 40 hours of work available, while during slower periods there may be little or no work. This position is best suited to someone who values flexibility and is comfortable with a variable workload.
You'll work independently while communicating directly with the owner. We value accuracy, reliability, and good communication. We'd rather answer questions and get things done correctly than have someone make assumptions.
Responsibilities
- Reconcile bank and credit card accounts
- Record transactions accurately in Xero or QuickBooks Online
- Keep our 2026 bookkeeping current
- Review transactions and communicate any questions or discrepancies that require clarification
- Help keep our records organized and ready for year-end
Requirements
- Experience using Xero or QuickBooks Online
- Strong attention to detail
- Able to work independently
- Reliable communication
- Able to manage time independently and consistently meet agreed deadlines
