Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/bookkeeper

A Bookkeeper maintains the day-to-day financial records of a business, recording transactions in the general ledger and reconciling accounts to keep the books accurate. Using QuickBooks and Excel, they often also handle payroll processing and monthly reconciliations for small to mid-sized businesses. Bookkeepers are typically detail-oriented and trustworthy, serving as the financial backbone for organizations that may not yet employ a full-time accountant.
