Experienced Bookkeeper - Early Mornings

1 Reason Insurance & Real Estate is hiring TWO full-time long-term position work at home bookkeeper and office assistants to process the daily paperwork associated with our company as well as service our clients who subscribe to Quickbooks Online through us.

Generally, the position involves the entry of invoices, credit memos, processing payroll, reporting and reconciliation of dozens of accounts on a monthly basis. Processing and management of various documents. A successful candidate will not require any QuickBooks Online training and will be ready to perform on the first day.

A complete and full understanding of excel/Google Sheets for complex data manipulation is highly desired.

A successful candidate will have two monitors connected to their computer, high speed internet, and the ability to work in a (very) quiet distraction-free home environment using remote desktop technology during Chicago business hours.

All office staff connect using Skype to talk and "stay connected" in real time. All work is performed on local office computers and manipulated using remote desktop software connected to your home computer. While some monitoring of work performed occurs, you must be capable of problem solving and working independent often.

For the right candidate who doesn't want to work full time, a minimum availability of 25 hours a week is required, however, a strong preference will be given to someone dedicated to this one position and available about 35+ hours per week.

This is an early morning job. A typical day will begin at 6 AM (GMT +8) with a 45 minute break in the middle, followed by an ending time of about 2:45 PM (GMT+8). However, during the initial training and likely 2-3 times a month, an earlier starting time as early as 4 AM may be required.

We offer you the ability to work from home, take a somewhat self-directed role in a growing small business involved in real estate, insurance, accounting, and legal services.

STARTING AND TRAINING COMPENSATION IS $4.50 per hour, increased to $5.50 per hour after a probationary period of 90 days. If required, we're willing to pay once a week initially and during the probationary period. Otherwise, our normal pay cycle is twice a month. Annual reviews dictate pay starting with the first annual review.

A total of nine (9) paid time off (PTO) days per year begin accruing upon completion of the probationary period. PTO may be used for vacation and/or paid sick days.

Payment is made twice a month, using Paypal (worker bears transaction expenses, albeit while paid based in US Dollars, the worker has the option of Dollars or Pesos).
