A small but rapidly emerging consumer product start up in the wellness space is looking for a Part‑Time Bookkeeper to support their day‑to‑day accounting operations. The company has their chart of accounts established and their systems in place. They now need someone who can step in, bring clarity and keep things running smoothly as they grow.

Ensuring the founders are paid accurately and compliantly
Tracking and categorizing expenses
Performing monthly reconciliations
Preparing documentation and supporting information for annual tax filings with their CPA
Reviewing inventory and sales entries to ensure accurate accounting

Direct impact – you’ll help build the financial foundation of a growing brand
Founder exposure – work side‑by‑side with passionate entrepreneurs
Long‑term potential – while this starts as a contract, there is potential to join them permanently
Requirements

Top Skills:
Prior bookkeeping experience (ideally 2-3 years)
Comfort working independently with minimal oversight
Reliability, responsiveness and attention to detail
