Job Description

We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Full-Time Senior Bookkeeper to manage the day-to-day financial operations across multiple affiliated businesses, including a real estate brokerage, franchise operations, investment entities, and support companies.

This role is responsible for maintaining clean, accurate books, overseeing commission accounting, processing payroll, managing accounts payable, and ensuring financial systems run smoothly. Our commission software handles the majority of calculations and ACH payments, so this role focuses on oversight, reconciliation, and accurate recording — not commission engineering.

This is a trusted position requiring integrity, discretion, and strong organizational skills.

Key Responsibilities

Bookkeeping & Accounting

  • Maintain accurate books for multiple business entities
  • Perform monthly bank and credit card reconciliations
  • Record journal entries and intercompany transactions
  • Produce monthly P&L and Balance Sheet reports
  • Prepare clean financials for CPA review

Commission Oversight

  • Review and record commission payouts generated by commission software
  • Ensure proper expense allocation and reconciliation
  • Manage corrections and exceptions as needed

Payroll Administration

  • Process payroll for employees
  • Manage payroll tax compliance
  • Oversee benefits deductions and reporting

Accounts Payable & Cash Management

  • Manage vendor payments and recurring expenses
  • Monitor cash flow and report concerns
  • Track owner distributions
  • Oversee personal recurring bill payments

Compliance & Organization

  • Maintain organized financial records
  • Assist CPA with tax preparation
  • Ensure internal financial controls are followed

Qualifications

  • 3+ years bookkeeping or accounting experience
  • Experience managing multiple entities preferred
  • Strong knowledge of QuickBooks Online (required)
  • Payroll processing experience
  • Strong Excel skills
  • High level of integrity and confidentiality
  • Exceptional attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently and manage deadlines

Preferred but not required:

  • Real estate brokerage accounting experience
  • Commission accounting familiarity

Compensation & Benefits

  • $55,000 – $60,000 annual salary (based on experience)
  • Health insurance
  • Paid Time Off
  • Paid vacation
  • Stable, long-term position
  • Supportive leadership environment
  • Opportunity to grow with expanding organization

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a steady, dependable professional who takes ownership of their work, values accuracy, and thrives in a structured, organized environment. This is not a controller-level or strategic finance role — it is a hands-on operational accounting position essential to the smooth functioning of our businesses.
