## About this task

This specialty insurer for homeowners (201–500 employees) is looking for a senior Bookkeeper for a monthly bundle of recurring tasks, 12–30 h a month. Brings late books up to date and ready for the accountant.

The company wants one reliable owner for a list of small jobs instead of five different people. It is an insurer, so accuracy and an audit trail come before speed.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (CT).

## What you deliver

- Clean up six months of unposted transactions for a retail LLC and deliver reconciled accounts and a trial balance.

- A named list of items moved to next month, so nothing is lost

- A running log of open questions, reviewed at the start of each week

- A month-end summary with hours used against the cap

## What a month looks like

- Start of month: the company shares the items and the priorities

- Mid-month: progress check of 15 minutes

- Month end: hours used against the cap, results and open items

**Duration:** 8 weeks, with a monthly hours cap. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.

## Tools

QuickBooks Online Xero Excel

## Who fits

- 5-10 years of hands-on work as a Bookkeeper, or the equivalent mix of roles

## Not included

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.
