Senior/Quality Control Bookkeeper

About Moose Creek Bookkeeping LLC
We’re Moose Creek Bookkeeping—Colorado natives who now call the Pacific Northwest home. We specialize in bookkeeping and advisory services for the construction industry. We’re animal lovers (dogs, cats, chickens, even a turtle) and big believers in work-life balance. Our remote team is collaborative, approachable, and dedicated to making bookkeeping feel a little less overwhelming for our clients. We mix professionalism with personality and always look for ways to improve processes while keeping things human.
Description
We’re looking for a detail-loving, tech-comfortable, and organized professional who brings great energy to their work. If you like being part of a supportive, fun team, enjoy working with amazing clients, and want to be in an inclusive environment with friendly leadership, we think you’ll feel right at home with us.

About the Role:

We’re hiring a Senior Manager to help us keep our financial work top-notch in our construction-focused bookkeeping firm. This role is ideal for someone with hands-on experience in construction accounting, including industry-specific nuances like job costing, work in progress (WIP), accounts payable, and progress billing.

In this role, you’ll review bookkeeping work, catch and resolve discrepancies, and guide our team on best practices specific to construction clients. You’ll lead and participate in client meetings, serve as a key point of contact for ongoing client communication, and help ensure our clients feel confident, informed, and supported.

You’ll also play a critical leadership role internally—mentoring and managing a blended shore team — while helping shape and refine our processes. This includes creating and maintaining SOPs, developing training materials, and supporting quality control standards across the team.

Think of this role as part coach, part problem-solver, and part detail-checker. It’s perfect for someone who’s precise, proactive, comfortable leading both clients and team members, and who enjoys helping others grow while still rolling up their sleeves and doing the work themselves.

*To best support collaboration and team coverage, candidates must reside in either the Pacific or Mountain time zones.

Who We Are:

Moose Creek Bookkeeping is a construction-focused bookkeeping and advisory firm serving contractors and trade businesses across the country. Founded by Colorado natives who now call the Pacific Northwest home, we understand the unique financial challenges of the construction industry and partner closely with our clients to bring clarity to their numbers.

We believe bookkeeping should feel supportive—not overwhelming. Our fully remote team is collaborative, approachable, and committed to delivering accurate, reliable financials while continually improving the way we work. We value clear communication, thoughtful processes, and a human-first approach to client service.

We’re big believers in work-life balance and building a company people genuinely enjoy being part of. We’re animal lovers (dogs, cats, chickens, and even a turtle 🐢), and we believe professionalism and personality can and should coexist.

If you’re looking for a place where your expertise is valued, your ideas are welcomed, and you can be yourself, we think you’ll enjoy working with us.
