Remote Part-Time Bookkeeper

Vision Education & Media dba Robofun provides exciting, hands-on after-school programs using emerging technologies for PK–12th grade youth. We ignite kids' passion to explore, solve problems, and invent, build, code, and troubleshoot — because learning should be fun!

We're seeking a highly capable, entrepreneurial Part-Time Bookkeeper. This is a primarily remote, 1099 position averaging 12 hours per week, with biweekly in-person meetings at our Manhattan office. The rate is $45.00–$75.00/hour, commensurate with experience, and offers a unique opportunity to directly influence the company's growth strategy.

The ideal candidate has 3–5 years of small-company bookkeeping experience, strong organizational skills, and clear, direct communication. This role suits someone equally comfortable working independently or with colleagues and clients. Reporting directly to the President/CEO, the Bookkeeper proactively flags issues and solutions before being asked, checks in with the CEO and Assistant Director of Operations to report progress rather than seek instruction, and retains context from prior conversations so recurring questions aren't re-asked.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Accounts Receivable & Reconciliation

• Manage Accounts Receivable, including timely and accurate invoice coding and posting, and consistent client follow-up for prompt payment


• Execute journal entries and perform comprehensive bank reconciliations

Planning & Reporting

• Maintain and update 13-week cash flow projections, yearly revenue trackers, historic year-over-year revenue tracking, and annual budgets


• Support end-of-year tax preparation
