In-House Full-Time Bookkeeper

About the role

Maintain accurate, current books in Xero — AP/AR, bill pay, transaction categorization. Manage and reconcile spend/card activity in Ramp, matching transactions to receipts with correct coding. Perform General Ledger reconciliations across bank, credit card, and balance-sheet accounts; research and resolve discrepancies. Post manual journal entries (accruals, prepaids, reclasses, adjustments) with supporting documentation. Reconcile vendor statements against internal payment records; resolve unmatched and aged items. Support month-end close and provide clean schedules to reviewers.

• GL reconciliation — able to find why an account is off and fix it
• Solid grasp of manual journal entries and double-entry accounting fundamentals
• Strong spreadsheet fluency — comfortable building and maintaining reconciliation workbooks across multiple tabs
• Proficient with core spreadsheet functions for matching and analysis — lookups (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP), pivot tables, filtering/sorting, and conditional logic
• Able to clean and structure messy data (text-to-columns, deduplication, handling inconsistent formatting) to make it reconcilable
• Attention to detail and the discipline to document work for review

Additional requirements

• Must successfully pass a cognitive assessment as part of the hiring process
• Must successfully complete a typing test to validate typing speed and accuracy
