Accountant/Bookkeeper

Slightly-OCD, Accounting focused Mom Sought to Help eCommerce Company

Hi! My name is Ben, I own an ecommerce business in Texas with my wife. We sell awesome home and kitchen products, primarily in the tea and coffee space. The business is growing, and we’re looking for a detail-oriented and motivated key person to add to our team, who can focus on various parts of finance/accounting for our business.

 

We are looking to bring on someone who will work as a Junior accounts person, who has an accounting background and has some experience working in an inventory based business. This person will work closely with our accountant, monthly working on the monthly P&Ls, reconciling inventory, tracking/updating COGS, and so forth. Eventually, we’d like this person to grow in responsiblity and oversee pricing of our various products, making recommendations on prices to maximize profitability and also clearing out stale inventory.

 

I am looking to expand in a slow-but-steady kind of way. This job averages only 10 hours per week to begin with. Some weeks might be more, some less, but average is 10 hours per week. The hours worked can be flexible, but I would like you to check in every day and work about an hour (less if not a lot to do, more if there is) and not miss important deadlines.

 

If things go well between us, and you’re interested, the opportunity may exist to increase to more hours per week/month. Obviously I’d like to grow alongside the winning applicant (you?) to offer as much employment as you’d like, although we need to walk before we can run.

 

The winning applicant (possibly you?) must absolutely have the following:

– Reliable high-speed Internet access

– Webcam-equipped computer for occasional Skype Call

-Reliable and Accessible phone line access (cell or land land)

The winning applicant (possibly you?) must absolutely have the following characteristics:

– Very detail-oriented

– Deadline-obsessed

– Experience reconciling back to payments

– Experience with Profit & Loss/COGS

– Experience with Inventory/Balance sheets

– Good at analyzing data

– Must be able to prioritize many different tasks

– Canada or USA-based

– Tech-comfortable

– Fluent in English, both written and spoken

– Comfortable logging details in spreadsheets

– Trust-worthy, communicative and reliable

 

For our company to grow, everything must run on checklists / working procedures. You will be expected to:

– Follow step-by-step procedures that already exist (follow them *exactly*)

– Make suggestions to me on how to improve checklists (when you see legitimate improvement opportunities – I may say yes or no)

– Create step-by-step checklists for other staff to follow

 

Timeline:

– Starting as soon as I find a qualified applicant; next few weeks would be nice, although I’m not going to rush the process. I need the right person in this position

– 30-day trial to begin; if we like each other we’ll continue

Pay:

– First month (paid) at $20-30/hr, with the potential to grow more.

– Each week may fluctuate somewhat, but average of 10 hours per week

NOTE: I know I’m going to sound like a jerk for saying this, but I really respect both my time and yours, so I’ll say this bluntly: if you dislike rules, checklists, guidelines, and/ or pride yourself in being a “free spirit”, antiauthority, counter-culture, wildly creative, or super-alternative, this job is not for you. I’m looking for someone who will work within the current business “machine” I’ve built, and is eager to help me make it bigger, stronger, faster by embracing the checklist mindset. Following checklists is imperative. For the sake of your time and mine, do not apply if you feel bogged down by checklists. Thank-you.

If you’re interested…Email leigh@willowandeverett.com. In the subject line please write “Slightly OCD Mom from (insert your city/ town) interested in PM job”

In the body, please write me a 14-sentence email including: Three sentence opening salutation that says: “Hey there Ben! My name is _____, I’m slightly OCD, am comfortable with technology, and love checklists. I’d like to apply for the job you posted on HireMyMom.com.”
