Jr Accountant-Bookkeeper

Imagineeer • Remote • Part Time

Posted on Sat, Aug 15, 2026

About the Role:

THE DAIMLER WATERFORD GROUP LLC is seeking an experienced Part-Time Junior Accountant / Bookkeeper to provide fullcycle accounting and bookkeeping support to a diverse portfolio of clients across multiple industries, including government contractors (GovCon). This is not an entry-level position. The successful candidate must be able to work independently, manage recurring client deadlines, identify and research accounting discrepancies, and produce accurate, well-supported books for senior review with limited supervision.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS:
• Minimum five (5) years of professional bookkeeping or accounting experience.
• Minimum three (3) years of hands-on QuickBooks Online experience and three (3) years of QuickBooks Desktop experience.
• Demonstrated experience with full-cycle bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll accounting, general ledger           maintenance, reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close.
• Experience supporting multiple clients or business entities simultaneously and the ability to move efficiently among differing accounting structures and priorities.
• Strong practical knowledge of debits and credits, accruals, prepaid expenses, payroll liabilities, loans, fixed assets, and adjusting entries.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, including formulas, sorting/filtering, lookup functions, and reconciliation schedules.
• Strong organizational, analytical, communication, confidentiality, and time-management skills.
ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Perform full-cycle bookkeeping and maintain accurate general ledger and chart-of-account records for assigned clients.
 • Process and maintain A/P and A/R; prepare invoices, record receipts, enter vendor bills, apply payments and credits, and monitor outstanding balances.
 • Perform payroll accounting, including recording payroll activity, employer taxes, deductions, payroll liabilities, and payroll clearing accounts. • Complete monthly bank and credit-card reconciliations and reconcile applicable balance-sheet accounts, including A/R, A/P, payroll liabilities, loans, prepaid expenses, and accruals.
 • Prepare routine and adjusting journal entries; review the general ledger for duplicate transactions, misclassifications, unusual balances, missing transactions, and other discrepancies.
 • Complete assigned month-end close procedures and prepare/review Balance Sheets, Profit and Loss Statements, Trial Balances, A/R and A/P aging reports, and supporting schedules.
 • Maintain complete supporting documentation and audit trails; communicate directly and professionally with clients regarding missing information, questions, reconciliations, and deadlines.
 • Research and resolve routine accounting discrepancies independently and escalate unusual, material, or technically complex matters for senior review.
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING EXPERIENCE:
GovCon experience is strongly preferred. Familiarity with direct and indirect cost classification, fringe/overhead/G&A accounts, job or contract cost tracking, labor and payroll allocation, timekeeping reconciliation, contract billing support, unallowable-cost segregation, and DCAA-ready accounting environments is highly desirable. The position does not require a GovCon compliance expert, but the candidate must be able to follow established GovCon accounting procedures and recognize when a matter requires escalation.
INDEPENDENCE & ACCOUNTABILITY:
The successful candidate must be able to take ownership of assigned client books and move the accounting process from transaction recording through reconciliation and month-end close. The individual should organize assignments, identify missing information, communicate with clients, investigate discrepancies, make appropriate routine corrections, and deliver clean, accurate, well-supported records without continual direction.
Candidates whose experience is primarily limited to data entry, bank-feed categorization, or basic transaction processing without responsibility for reconciliations, general ledger review, and month-end close will not meet the requirements of this position.
 
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
• Associate or bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related discipline; QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification preferred.
 • Experience in an accounting, bookkeeping, CPA, outsourced accounting, or professional-services firm; experience with ADP or another payroll platform is a plus.
• Experience with job costing, class/project tracking, indirect-cost structures, and government-contracting accounting is a plus.

 

This is a remote position.
