Bookkeeper

Bookkeeper

Location: Shafter, CA (Onsite)

Salary: $49,920 - $54,080 DOE

Balance Bookkeeping is a growing bookkeeping and accounting services firm that supports multiple businesses with accurate financial reporting and day-to-day transaction management. With a reputation for personalized service and strong client relationships, the team plays a critical role in helping business owners stay organized and informed. This position offers the opportunity to step into a highly visible role where your attention to detail and accounting expertise will have an immediate impact.

The Opportunity

This role has been created to support the company during a period of increased workload as key team members take maternity leave. You'll work directly with the owner and collaborate with a small, experienced team in a fast-paced office environment. The position focuses heavily on maintaining accurate financial records across multiple client accounts while helping keep essential bookkeeping functions on track. For someone who enjoys independent work, organization, and making a measurable contribution every day, this is an excellent opportunity.

What You'll Do

• Process high-volume data entry and bookkeeping transactions within QuickBooks Online
• Review and categorize bank and credit card transactions across multiple company files
• Perform account reconciliations and ensure financial records remain accurate and up to date
• Maintain organized accounting documentation and support ongoing bookkeeping activities
• Partner directly with the owner to help manage workload priorities and address accounting backlogs

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of hands-on accounting or bookkeeping experience in a professional setting
• 2-3+ years of recent experience using QuickBooks Online with confidence and accuracy
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage work across multiple entities or company files
• Bilingual English/Spanish skills and public accounting or multi-entity experience are preferred but not required

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a well-established local firm that has earned repeat business and long-term client trust
• Work directly with ownership and gain visibility into a variety of businesses and accounting situations
• Opportunity to make an immediate impact by helping support critical operational needs
• Potential for long-term growth, with the possibility of a full-time permanent opportunity based on business needs

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys focused, detail-oriented work and takes pride in producing accurate results. The team values professionalism, reliability, and a strong work ethic while maintaining a friendly and collaborative office atmosphere. Business casual attire, regular weekday hours, and a supportive environment make this an attractive opportunity for bookkeeping professionals who enjoy stability and meaningful work.

This position is fully onsite in Shafter and follows a Monday through Friday schedule from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Candidates who are comfortable working independently, can quickly learn priorities, and have the ability to keep multiple tasks organized will be especially successful in this role.

If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact while continuing to grow professionally, this could be the right next step.
