Controller / Bookkeeper

Books To Go is looking to hire a talented and highly motivated Controller to lead the Phillippine team of bookkeepers. You will need to be available to work 9am-5pm PDT and use Quickbooks. We are 100% Quickbooks online but can train you if you have desktop experience. We are a small firm that seeks to provide outstanding personalized customer service and great outcomes for our clients.

Books To Go started 10 years ago by Liz Cox, a single mom who wanted to make an impact by helping business owners with their bookkeeping. Her goal was (and still is) to provide financial reports so business owners could have peace of mind knowing their profitability and that their books are taken care of every month. We grew from one bookkeeper and a couple of clients to 10 tea ---------- mbers and 100+ clients. We have staff members in both the United States and the Phillippines, with a small office in Oregon. We provide bookkeeping for a variety of industries, but our main verticals are in Real Estate, Construction, and Professional Services.

Being a team of mostly parents, we are all about work-life balance. We want to help people achieve their goals and to grow with us. Our goal is to promote our team's well-being and offer support through ongoing and accessible trainings, daily Zoo ---------- etings, and Basecamp, a communication software for all of our primary communication, whether it's updates, questions, or general client information. We take our work seriously but like to have fun also. During Covid lockdown we started celebrating our weekly wins on our Friday Zoom, it was so much fun that we have continued it. We enjoy learning about everyone's families, cultures and vacations, and even have a place to post pictures to share with the team.

If accepted, you will be responsible for supervising and leading our Filipino bookkeepers. You will learn our ways of bookkeeping and will be able to do full-charge bookkeeping. The tasks you will responsible for include:
- cleanup projects (new clients often have really messy books)
- quality control - review tea ---------- mbers work
- month-end reports
- year-end closings
- help us further develop our training program
- adopt our systems and help train new tea ---------- mbers
- work with our team to help stay within the client scope of work
- help facilitate communication via Basecamp and Zoom
