Bookkeeper

81 North • Somerset County, New Jersey • Full Time

Posted on Wed, May 20, 2026

Job Description

We’re working with an established client who is looking to hire an On-Site Bookkeeper to serve as the day-to-day financial presence within their business.

This is not a traditional back-office role.

You’ll be based full-time at the client site, working directly with ownership and staff, while being backed by an experienced external accounting firm that provides ongoing oversight, structure, and support. You’ll handle core accounting responsibilities while acting as the go-to resource for financial questions on-site.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in operational environments (construction, trades, manufacturing, etc.) and is comfortable working closely with business owners.

What You’ll Do

Day-to-Day Accounting

Own bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online (transactions, coding, reconciliations)

Manage accounts payable and receivable

Handle invoicing, collections, and vendor coordination

Reconcile bank and credit card accounts

Assist with payroll coordination and inputs

On-Site Operations

Act as the primary point of contact for day-to-day financial questions

Provide visibility into cash flow, payables, and receivables

Communicate proactively when something doesn’t look right

Bring structure and organization to a fast-moving environment

Collaboration & Support

Work closely with an external accounting partner for oversight and support

Follow established processes and best practices

Participate in regular check-ins and reviews

What We’re Looking For

Experience

5+ years of bookkeeping experience

Strong QuickBooks Online (QBO) experience (required)

Background in operational industries is a plus

Experience working directly with business owners or operators

Profile

Comfortable in fast-paced, sometimes unstructured environments

Self-directed with strong ownership mentality

Clear, direct communicator

Highly organized and detail-oriented

Reliable and consistent — this role is critical to daily operations

What Makes This Role Different

You’re the on-site financial presence, not just behind the scenes

Direct exposure to ownership and day-to-day operations

Backed by an experienced accounting team — guidance, structure, and support when needed

Opportunity to bring organization and make a real impact

Important Notes

Fully on-site (5 days/week)

Client-facing role

Active, operational environment — not a quiet back-office position
