Current Opportunities

Position Overview
We are a growing, dynamic small business looking for an organized financial pro to join us at our office. If you love clean data, efficient digital workflows, and want a steady part-time role where you can truly own the books and see your direct impact on a local business, we would love to meet you. You'll work closely with the General Manager and Operations team, and you'll be the person who makes sure every number ties out, every receipt has a home and every report is one we can trust. Every great adventure needs someone keeping the compass true. As our Part-Time Bookkeeper / Accountant, you'll own our day-to-day finances, from vendor bills and client invoices to the month-end close, so the rest of the team can focus on delivering unforgettable trips.
What You’ll Do (Your Impact)
In this role, you will take full ownership of our daily accounting workflows and month-end reporting right from our local office.
Your main responsibilities will include:
- Accounts Payable: Review, verify and enter all vendor invoices directly into QuickBooks, making sure every expense is properly categorized and payments are scheduled on time.
- Accounts Receivable: Create and issue client invoices in QuickBooks, record incoming payments, monitor aging reports and follow up on outstanding balances. •Reconciliations: Run regular, thorough reconciliations of bank accounts, credit cards and lines of credit so the books stay balanced.
- Spend & Expense Management: Keep our corporate cards, employee budgets and receipt tracking in order using BILL Spend & Expense, and reconcile card activity to the general ledger.
- Month-End Close & Reporting: Lead the monthly close on an accrual basis and produce a clean financial package, including the Income Statement (P&L) and Balance Sheet.
- Cash Flow Monitoring: Keep a close eye on cash coming in and going out, and keep management up to date on our cash position.
- Data Organization: Maintain accurate Excel spreadsheets and financial summaries to track internal metrics outside our accounting software.
- Payroll
What You'll Bring

- Experience managing corporate cards, budgets and receipts in BILL Spend & Expense.
- Confidence in Microsoft Excel (data entry, basic formulas and formatting).
- A sharp eye for detail. You can spot a data entry error from a mile away, and you take pride in getting things right.
