Jo Landers Bookkeeper in Northampton, Massachusetts

Data Entry/Bookkeeping Intern In search of a data entry whiz to assist my company in performing bookkeeping/payroll/administrative tasks for multiple clients. The ideal candidate will be someone interested in a bookkeeping career and longterm employment. We are looking to staff 50-60 hours/week, divided between two positions. One could be full-time and one part-time or both people could be part-time 20-30 hours/week each. This is a career opportunity for at least one person, as our long-term goal is to hire someone interested in taking on management responsibility, moving into a full-time benefited position and eventually becoming an owner/partner. Both positions require excellent attention to detail, the ability to both follow and create procedures, good computer and typing skills, the capacity to perform repetitive, sometimes tedious tasks without losing attention, and client confidentiality. Some real-world experience with bookkeeping and/or Quickbooks and Excel software is preferable but not required; however, the ability (and desire) to problem solve and learn new things is very important. We work with 35-40 clients every month, and each one is unique. The people we hire will learn real-world bookkeeping and how to work in multiple versions of Quickbooks desktop and online, payment and payroll systems, navigate state and federal websites, and maintain client files and client relationships. Our office space is in the Smith Glass building at 6 Service Center Road, Northampton. We have two office cats and several fish that live here fulltime; please keep this in mind if you have allergies or they would be too much of a distraction. The office has a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, and toaster oven, and we keep coffee, tea and snacks onhand. Casual dress is fine. There is limited parking on-site and a PVTA bus stop on the corner of Service Center Rd and Pleasant St, a block away. This position will start at \$16-\$20 based on experience, with a review after 90 days. All employees are eligible for paid sick time. Additional paid time off, vacation and wellness benefits are available once someone is scheduled an average of 30 hours/week for at least three months. After one year of employment, all staff may participate in a SIMPLE retirement plan with up to a 3% employer match.
