Balanced Office Solutions is Hiring!

We’re looking for a detail-oriented, forward-thinking, tech-savvy, high-achieving, loyal intrapreneurial, experienced bookkeeper who loves numbers, improving systems, and troubleshooting who has a go-getter attitude and a figure it out mentality.

Does this sound like you?

You are a planner & implementer and you can manage your own deadlines– you are a master multitasker and don’t mind tracking your time for multiple projects and task lists.

You are a natural problem solver with a figure-it-out mentality. When you see a problem arise, you are determined to find the solution because you are a go-getter, but you know there’s a time and place to ask for help.

You’re analytical and strategic– you love numbers and embracing technology.

You are detail-oriented– attention to detail is one of the highest ranking necessary skills for any bookkeeper, all while new requests and needs are generated, and the ability to handle all with little to no error (we all make mistakes) is imperative as this directly affects each Client and their business.

You are someone who loves to support entrepreneurs and small businesses, but don’t have the desire to be an entrepreneur yourself– you are born to be an intrapreneur.

You are a great communicator and know communication is key– whether it be with clients, team members, or other connections, you have no problem communicating in a professional and respectful manner.

You are familiar with Balanced Office Solutions’ values and services and are ready to play a critical role in serving our clients and taking Balanced Office Solutions to the next level.

You have a positive student mentality– you love to learn something new everyday.

You have an attitude of contribution– a “How can I help?” approach to each day’s activities is key!

You are trustworthy and can handle confidential information daily– systems and tools will be provided to ensure each Client’s information is kept secure at all times.

Do you want to join a team of professionals looking to help small business owners get clear about their financials, make more money, and scale their business through the power of getting comfortable with their numbers?

Balanced Office Solutions is looking for an Passionate Part-Time Bookkeeper to join our team!

Imagine what it would be like coming to work where you’re respected and have the opportunity to grow and learn in your position while being a part of a responsible, honest, and supportive team encouraging you to have open communication and be ready to work as a productive team player.

Imagine being not only appreciated but supported in your work and your team being open and receptive to your ideas.

We are a growing firm and we’re looking for our one of a kind bookkeeper to join our team and help us in serving our clients.

Let’s get the details out of the way first

The hours start around 5-20 hours per week but as you grow and learn the way Balanced Office Solutions operates, this can quickly become a full-time position, 30+ hours a week, within our company– we’re looking for someone who is in it for the long haul. Hours may increase during the busy season or month end.
If you’re looking to work as a contractor for us and multiple other bookkeeping firms, this is not the right position for you.
Balanced Office Solutions is looking for someone who can add value to our team and transition into a full-time role– if you are looking to start your own bookkeeping business, this is not the right position for you.
Balanced Office Solutions requires all hands on deck during busy times– November through April– this means a bigger time commitment may be necessary to support the influx of work required. While we offer and highly support taking vacations and self-care, we do request all hands on deck during these times. We do offer paid holiday’s and some other perks!
If you are not comfortable with weekly one-on-one meetings and tracking your time on tasks, this is not the position for you.

Now let’s get to the good stuff

We work remotely which means you don’t have to wear ‘business casual’ or sit in traffic. You can come to work in your PJ’s or yoga pants.
The hours are flexible– we will work with you to create a schedule and routine that works for both of us. Our only requirement is that you show up for weekly one-on-one meetings, track your time worked, and be within one of the US time zones. We support clients across the US and our HQ is in Massachusetts.
You will be handling the majority of the weekly bank feeds for most of our clients and possibly bank reconciliations. Our clients are mostly micro-businesses so the work is not overly complex.
You’ll have the time and space to learn and grow. One of Balanced Office Solutions values is growth– personal, professional, and financial. A growth mindset plays a critical role in your success both personally and here at Balanced Office Solutions. Your continued education is required when being a part of our team.
