Full Charge Bookkeeper

Wills and Associates is a growing tax and accounting firm in Charlottesville, VA, serving high-net-worth individuals, Schedule C filers, and small business owners. We're looking for an experienced Full Charge Bookkeeper who can take full ownership of a client's books from start to finish — no hand-holding required.

This isn't a data-entry role. You'll be trusted to run the full bookkeeping cycle for your clients independently, using your judgment to solve problems as they come up, and deliver clean, accurate, tax-ready books without needing a manager to walk you through it.

What You'll Do:

• Own the full bookkeeping cycle for a portfolio of clients: transaction coding, account reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, and payroll journal entries
• Prepare and deliver accurate monthly, quarterly, and year-end financial statements
• Manage the monthly close independently, from start to finish
• Identify and resolve discrepancies, coding issues, and reconciliation problems on your own
• Maintain GAAP-compliant, audit-ready books at all times
• Ensure books are clean and tax-ready ahead of filing deadlines, working directly with our tax team
• Communicate directly with clients on day-to-day bookkeeping and financial questions
• Flag planning opportunities or red flags to firm leadership when they come up — you're the eyes on the ground for your clients

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of full-charge bookkeeping experience, ideally across multiple clients or industries
• Proven ability to run a full close independently, start to finish, with minimal oversight
• Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online (QBO Certification a plus)
• Solid grasp of GAAP and general accounting principles
• Comfortable learning new technology — we lean into AI tools and automation
• High attention to detail and strong problem-solving instincts
• Ability to manage multiple clients and deadlines at once without dropping the ball
• Clear, professional communication skills — you'll be client-facing
• TaxDome or similar practice management software experience a plus

Why Join Us:

• Real autonomy — you own your book of clients and are trusted to run it
• Modern, cloud-based tech stack, not a paper-and-filing-cabinet office
• Established workflows and SOPs, so you're not building from scratch
• A firm actively growing through acquisitions, with real room to grow into a larger role

Pay: $65,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Vision insurance
