PROJECT 1

The first project is one we need as a focused commitment until it is fully implemented. Ideally, full-time or some efficient near equivalent. Bookkeeping and QuickBooks experience is essential--good communication skills to discuss options and considerations are required.

Optimizing our chart of accounts and streamlining processes for moving ahead, with QuickBooks set up and expeditiously getting caught up with reconciling expenses and identifying and discussing methods and adjustments to consider for our chart of accounts to structure ongoing processes with considerations of efficiency and streamlining as we transition into a phase of growth.

The priority is to ensure all expenses and transactions are being captured and recorded.

By nature, this is a position of trust, character, confidentiality and references, or alternatively, being bonded or similar.

We'd like to accelerate this process with full time or near full time engagement to be set up and have the new system operational and caught up as quickly as possible.

There are many receipts that need to be reconciled.

PROJECT 2:
