Job DescriptionPart-Time Bookkeeper

Agee Business Solutions, LLC is seeking an experienced Part-Time Bookkeeper to join our accounting team in Canyon Lake, CA. This position is responsible for managing the monthly bookkeeping for a portfolio of small-business clients across multiple industries.

Position Summary

The Bookkeeper will be responsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date financial records for multiple client accounts and independently managing assigned client work from start to completion. This role includes transaction review and categorization, account reconciliations, month-end bookkeeping, resolving discrepancies, obtaining missing information, and ensuring assigned work is completed accurately and on schedule.

Our clients range from smaller businesses with straightforward bookkeeping needs to medium and larger businesses with more complex accounting activity, including multiple bank and credit card accounts, loans, payroll, intercompany transactions, multiple entities, and sales activity across multiple platforms and payment processors.

The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, persistent, comfortable working across multiple companies, and able to independently prioritize and manage a recurring workload. This position requires someone who takes ownership of incomplete items, follows up when information is missing, and tracks work through completion rather than allowing unresolved items to remain outstanding.

This is an onsite position in Canyon Lake, CA.

• Demonstrated ability to independently manage a recurring workload with multiple clients, priorities, and deadlines

• Strong follow-through and persistence in obtaining missing information and completing outstanding work

• Ability to maintain an organized workflow and accurately track work that is complete, pending, or awaiting client information
