Bookminders is a premier provider of automated accounting and information management services to small business and nonprofit organizations.  Our sophisticated accounting systems allow clients to access and manage their finances in an efficient and cost-effective manner, providing them an alternative to the burden and expense of maintaining an in-house accounting function.

We are seeking to hire qualified accounting professionals who will work from their homes as our employees, providing accounting and bookkeeping services to our small business and non-profit clients. (No financial investment or sales responsibility required.)

This unique position allows the employee to enjoy a work-life balance that includes:

• A Flexible Schedule – Hours are flexible, but client meetings and trainings must be conducted during normal business hours.

• Working From Home – Approximately two-thirds of the work is performed from a home office.

• High Earnings Potential – Compensation is incentive based, but is also commensurate with a professional level position.  Earnings are scalable based on an employee’s performance and the volume of work an employee chooses to take on.

• Career Development – Employees can work part-time and still have the opportunity for challenging work in the accounting profession.  For CPAs, Bookminders’ training programs are accredited for continuing professional education.

• The size and availability of client workload
• Employee’s ability to learn quickly
