Vacancy: Fulltime Experienced Bookkeeper

Who we are

We are Zetique. We empower small businesses to stay on top of their finances. We pride ourselves on being an innovative boutique bookkeeping company, always evolving, and pushing into new dimensions. We consider ourselves saviors of small businesses. Far too often, our clients are overlooked by larger firms, dismissed as merely pursuing ‘hobbies’, and left feeling neglected and unworthy of financial assistance. We are here to guide them, answer their questions, put their numbers in order, and become a part of their team.

Why Join us

At Zetique, we offer the unique opportunity to work 100% remotely and directly with business owners. We are a high-demand, results-focused, and client-oriented company. If you thrive in an ever-evolving environment and excel at providing solutions, we want you on our team.

Our ideal candidate is someone who can work effectively without constant supervision

 

The successful candidate will be self-motivated, organized, confident, deadline-oriented and excellence-driven. You’re equally comfortable working directly with clients as you are overseeing junior staff. Your attention to detail is second to none, and you’re always looking for ways you can improve your clients’ finances. When it comes to technology, you’re an early-adopter who’s passionate about finding a better, faster way to work. This is a permanent, full-time role, with competitive pay and benefits.
