100% Remote (Pacific Time, West Coast preferred) | Full-Time | $22–$27/hr Basta & Company is a San Francisco CPA firm serving construction companies and trade businesses tied to real estate. We're a fully remote team. We automate most of our month-end close with AI and modern tools. We don't need someone to key in transactions. We need sharp eyes and an analytical brain. This is not an entry-level role. We don't train from scratch. You need 2+ years of hands-on, paid bookkeeping experience. What you'll do Review automated month-end close work in QuickBooks Online and Digits, and catch what doesn't look right before it goes to the client. Reconcile bank and credit card accounts and tie out the financials. Investigate discrepancies and figure out the why, not just the fix. Talk with clients over Zoom and email: walk them through their numbers and answer questions. Help build and improve our AI and automation workflows. What you bring 2+ years of paid bookkeeping or accounting experience. Internships and coursework don't count. Strong, hands-on QuickBooks Online experience. Solid grasp of debits and credits, reconciliations, accruals, and payroll. Very comfortable with tech. You've used AI tools in real work. Thinks outside the box and digs in when something looks off. Confident talking numbers with business owners in plain English. Self-managed, responsive, and available during Pacific Time business hours. Nice to have Experience with construction, trades, or real estate clients. Small-business client experience. Familiar with Karbon, Digits, and Double.
