Entry-Level Bookkeeper

You could call this a Bookkeeper in Training because we aren’t requiring experience in Full-Charge Bookkeeping. But, you’d have to have experience in AP/AR using QuickBooks, making this ideal for the AP/AR Specialist who is looking for an opportunity to grow! If you want to become a Full-Charge Bookkeeper and have taken QuickBooks classes or earned QuickBooks certifications but haven't had the chance to use them, read on!

If you’re from the Fort Collins area and enjoy Old Town, you’ve probably seen our building and the Unify sign at the major intersection of College and Laporte. If you’ve got that as a visual, you’ll understand Unify. We’re just that central to the clients we serve. We’re just that solid. And we’re solidly in a college town, as quirky as that can be…meaning we are equally as quirky.

Though we are a CPA firm, we don’t do audits, and our focus isn’t just tax. We provide ongoing strategic business advice to our clients throughout the year on a subscription basis. We get involved in everything from tax planning to menu items. That makes this role a customer-facing position, continually involved in our clients’ businesses.

Our Bookkeepers:

• Assist with processing client financial information
• Prepare monthly bank account reconciliations
• Assist with client projects
• Prepare sales tax returns
• Prepare 1099s
• Prepare general correspondence and reports.

Requirements Include:

• High School diploma, Associate's degree in Business, or equivalent learning preferred
• Experience using QuickBooks for AP/AR; general knowledge of payroll and sales taxes is a huge plus
• Competence in QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, and Microsoft Office products
• An aptitude for figures and problem-solving
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• A love for small businesses, small business owners, and their team.

This Will Not Be the Right Opportunity For Those Who:

• Lack experience working with QuickBooks doing AP/AR or similar Accounting work
• Aren’t able to do accounting tasks without a lot of oversight, once trained
• Create or experience a lot of workplace drama
• Approach new ideas, new clients, new team members, or new technologies with skepticism or pessimism rather than seeing potential
• Do not know how to speak with a confident, professional voice to instill customer confidence.

Notes:

• We have openings for experienced Full-Charge Bookkeepers. If that’s you, please don’t apply for this role. Apply for our Bookkeeper position instead (not both!)
• We expect to have this position posted through October 31, 2026
• The starting pay for this position is $40,000 annualized.
