Bookkeeper (Remote, Full-Time) — Pet Care Industry
Tiny Paws Bookkeeping | $25–$30/hr Remote (US only) Flexible schedule (40 hrs/week) — meetings + deadlines must be covered
This is not just bookkeeping — it’s clarity and care.
We support pet care business owners who want clean books and a calm, trustworthy partner. This role includes client meetings, relationship-based communication, and explaining the Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flow in plain language.
If that energizes you, you’ll love it here. If that sounds draining, this likely isn’t your role — and that’s okay.
Our Bigger Why
Tiny Paws exists for one big reason: pet care business owners deserve financial clarity that feels supportive—not scary. Our Big Promise is simple: we keep the books clean and the client cared for. We’re hiring now because we’re growing — and growth only works if quality stays high. This role protects the client experience, keeps the month-end close consistent, and provides clear financial reports.
Role Snapshot
· Portfolio: ~20–25 clients (existing + new)
· Meetings: Monthly + quarterly (Zoom)
· Includes: Payroll + sales tax payments (as scoped)
· Mentorship: You’ll mentor/review a junior bookkeeper
· Tools: QuickBooks Online, Gusto, ADP, Pumble, Go High Level CRM, Zoom
· Culture note: We value flexibility and timeliness. Once a meeting is scheduled, we keep it.
What Winning Looks Like
Winning here looks like calm, consistent month-end closes across a whole portfolio — reconciliations are clean, documentation is solid, and deadlines don’t become emergencies because you stay proactive. Clients feel supported and clear because you can explain the P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow in plain English during meetings, with a warm, confident tone. You protect trust by keeping commitments, you run payroll, and
sales tax workflows like a steady system, and you mentor your junior in a way that raises quality over time.
If you prefer minimal communication, dislike meetings, or need constant direction, this probably won’t be a fit. If you want real ownership and you love turning messy books into clarity for real humans, you’ll thrive here.
What This Job Is Not (Please Read)
· Not micromanaged — you won’t get a minute-by-minute task list
· Not “no clients” bookkeeping — meetings and relationships are part of the role
· Not constant chaos — we use systems and timelines (the pace is steady and deadlines matter)
· Not “whenever” flexibility — flexibility exists inside commitments and deliverables
· Not a fit if you frequently reschedule, avoid accountability, or prefer to stay in the background
What You’ll Own
· Month-end close: accurate categorization, bank/CC reconciliations, cleanup, and consistent close for multiple clients
· Issue-spotting + resolution: catching duplicates, miscategorizations, unclear deposits, and subscription creep before it snowballs
· Payroll + sales tax workflows: managing payroll through Gusto/ADP, coordinating sales tax payments, and ensuring proper reflection in QBO
· Client meetings + reporting: leading monthly/quarterly meetings and translating financials into clear takeaways and next steps
· Mentorship: reviewing a junior bookkeeper’s work with kind, specific feedback that teaches the “why.”
· Organization: keeping tasks, notes, and communication documented in Go High Level and team systems
Non-Negotiables (Must-Haves)
· 5+ years of multi-client bookkeeping experience (firm or equivalent portfolio)
· Strong QuickBooks Online skills (reconciliations + month-end close)
· Payroll experience using Gusto and/or ADP
· Experience coordinating sales tax payments
· Strong working knowledge of P&L, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flow
· Ability to explain reports in clear, non-technical language (especially in meetings)
· Reliable follow-through, strong organization, and a high standard for accuracy
