QuickBooks Online Bookkeeper – Manufacturing & Construction (CA Payroll + Sales Tax)
About Us We’re a California-based manufacturing and installation company specializing in commercial refrigeration systems. We need an experienced QuickBooks Online (QBO) bookkeeper or accountant who understands California CDTFA sales tax, payroll allocation, and multi-division accounting (manufacturing + construction + parts). If you’re detail-driven, accurate with classifications, and know how fabrication vs. installation should be treated under CA tax law — we’d like to work with you long-term. What You’ll Do Phase 1 – Setup & Cleanup (Oct 2025) Review and optimize Chart of Accounts for manufacturing, installation, and parts sales. Reconcile QBO data and deliver accurate Balance Sheet & P&L. Audit CDTFA sales-tax treatment and prepare correct returns. Deliver clean, GAAP-based financials ready for CPA review. Phase 2 – Monthly Maintenance & Reporting Maintain accurate monthly books in QuickBooks Online. Classify payroll expenses correctly: Direct labor + burden (benefits, taxes, workers’ comp) → COGS Admin/officer wages → OPEX Reconcile payroll journals (BBSI, Paychex, etc.). File and pay California CDTFA sales tax monthly or quarterly. Provide monthly Payroll Allocation Summary and management reports. Phase 3 – Year-End Support Prepare year-end financials and CDTFA reconciliations. Provide CPA-ready reports and supporting documentation.
