Bookkeeper

Appleton, Wisconsin
onsite
Temporary / Contract
26 - 34 USD / Hourly
Are you an accounting detail oriented who enjoys variety, autonomy, and seeing the full picture behind the numbers? We are looking for a Bookkeeper to support a diverse client base throughout Wisconsin in a long-term contract opportunity. This is more than a traditional bookkeeping role. You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with clients, manage day-to-day accounting activities, and play an important role in keeping their financial operations running smoothly. From financial statements and reconciliations to payroll, tax preparation, and month-end close, you’ll gain exposure to multiple areas of accounting while building strong relationships with the clients you support. What You’ll Be Doing Manage day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting activities for multiple client accounts while developing strong, responsive client relationships. Prepare and review financial statements, including balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and cash flow reports. Reconcile bank accounts, general ledger accounts, and other financial records to ensure accuracy. Manage full-cycle payroll and support compliance with payroll tax, wage, and reporting requirements. Prepare and submit tax documents, government filings, and other required financial reports. Support month-end and year-end close activities and ensure accounting records remain accurate and current. Maintain the general ledger and accurately record financial transactions. Organize and prepare financial information for management, clients, and other stakeholders. Prepare business and individual tax returns using accounting and tax preparation software. Serve as a trusted accounting resource to clients by answering questions, identifying discrepancies, and helping keep their financial processes on track. Why This Role? If you enjoy having ownership of your work, interacting with clients, and using a broad range of accounting skills rather than focusing on one small piece of the process, this could be a great opportunity. You’ll work across bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting, reconciliations, and tax preparation—giving you both variety and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact for the clients you support.
