<p>Our direct-to-consumer site pulls 50k–200k unique visitors a month and handles quarterly royalty statements for a portfolio of licensed designs. Until now, a desktop-only workflow and a single part-time accountant kept the numbers straight. We’re migrating to QuickBooks Online, expanding the product mix, and need fresh horsepower to keep books tight, reports clean, and cash flowing without friction.</p><p></p><p>⸻</p><p></p><p>What You’ll Own</p><p> • Full-cycle monthly accounting</p><p>Reconcile bank, credit-card, and payment-gateway activity; close the books by the 10th business day.</p><p> • Quarterly licensing & royalty reporting</p><p>Aggregate sales data, apply contract-specific royalty rates, draft partner statements, and prep cash-out schedules.</p><p> • QBD → QBO migration</p><p>Map COA, import historical data, stand up automated bank feeds, and document new SOPs so the team can self-serve basic lookups.</p><p> • eCommerce clean-up</p><p>Align Shopify/Stripe (or similar) settlements with the GL; resolve timing differences on sales tax, refunds, and chargebacks.</p><p> • Process-improvement guardrails</p><p>Flag scalability gaps, propose dashboards, and lay the groundwork for SKU expansion and higher traffic bands.</p><p></p><p>⸻</p><p></p><p>What Success Looks Like in 6 Months</p><p> 1. Zero-variance closes — Every bank and gateway account ties out, licensing accruals match contracts, and P&L/BS roll forward without suspense entries.</p><p> 2. Audit-ready royalty trail — Source data ➜ calculations ➜ partner statements are buttoned-up and searchable.</p><p> 3. QBO humming — The team pulls real-time snapshots (cash, COGS, royalty liability) without pinging you for basic exports.</p><p> 4. Scalable playbook — Documented SOPs let us flex from a handful of SKUs to hundreds without reinventing the wheel.</p><p></p><p>⸻</p><p></p><p>The Nuts & Bolts We’re After</p><p></p><p>Must-Have Nice-to-Have</p><p>3+ yrs small-biz or eCom accounting (cash + accrual) Prior royalty/licensing accounting</p><p>Hands-on QuickBooks Online (setup & cleanup) Experience with Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce finance workflows</p><p>Advanced Excel/Sheets (v-lookups, pivot tables) Familiarity with A2X, Synder, or similar eCom integrators</p><p>Comfort owning month-end solo & presenting to leadership Exposure to inventory or COGS standard-cost setups</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>⸻</p><p></p><p>How We Work</p><p> • Asynchronous first.

Ship the MVP, show us the delta, and we’ll back the upgrade.</p><p> • Build for scale. Do the hard thinking now so we don’t bottleneck later.</p><p></p><p>⸻</p><p></p><p>Compensation & Logistics</p><p> • Hourly contract, paid bi-weekly via ACH.</p><p> • 10–15 hours per week to start; likely to expand as traffic and SKU count scale.</p><p> • U.S. time-zone overlap preferred for easier hand-offs.</p>
