[Hiring] Senior Bookkeeper @RecruitMyMom

Role Description

This is a remote position. An established global software company in the fleet management and telematics space is seeking a seasoned Part-time Senior Bookkeeper to take over and manage their financial operations across a multi-entity structure (5 entities). Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a fully remote, independent contracting role offering high autonomy, competitive rates, and a flexible working schedule of approximately 10 to 15 hours per week (on an initial 6-month independent contract with the potential to extend).

Note: Initial onboarding will require a short burst of increased capacity (e.g., equivalent to one full-time week split over 1-2 weeks) to facilitate a smooth handover with the CEO.

  • Daily Cash & Bank Monitoring: Perform routine bank account checks twice daily to capture incoming client payments, maintaining strictly up-to-date account records.

  • System Agnostic & Adaptable: Proven capability to easily pick up accounting platforms (e.g., QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Sage)—we value overall system adaptability over specific software loyalty.
  • Zero-Training Mandate: You must be highly experienced and ready to hit the ground running; none of these accounting tasks should be new to you.
  • High Reliability & Structure: Ability to maintain daily consistency (checking bank feeds twice daily) while working fully autonomously.
  • Equipment: Must have your own laptop, high-speed internet, and a reliable load-shedding/backup power setup.
