Are you an experienced accounting professional who would love a part-time, work-from-home position allowing you to achieve the optimal work/life balance that you have always dreamed of? Would you enjoy using your accounting expertise to remotely help businesses thrive and support multiple clients without having a draining tax season, all from the comfort of your own home office? If you’re interested in working part-time, 25-30 hours a week, during traditional daytime business hours (8:00 am – 5:00 pm EST, CST, MST, or PST) and embracing new technology, then we may have the perfect opportunity for you! What We Do… Since 2004, we have been empowering business owners by taking bookkeeping and operational support functions off their plates allowing them to focus on their core business. Supporting Strategies’ experienced professionals use our cutting-edge cloud-based platform, virtual infrastructure, and proven process to deliver a suite of outsourced transactional, full-cycle accounting services.

What You’ll Do… The responsibilities associated with this role are organized into areas that are very important to Supporting Strategies as an organization. We have purposely chosen the word “delight” when defining these responsibilities because it appropriately captures how passionate we are about these initiatives, and we naturally hope you will share in our sentiment. Your day-to-day will shift as you grow in the organization and into your role; but you can expect to work directly with clients, discover and implement software, manage and document our internal workflow and provide guidance to your clients.
