Careers with Host Bookkeeping
A message from the founder
I’m so glad you’re here.
I started Host Bookkeeping Systems because I wanted to build something different. A place where you can have a real career and still have a life. A place where people feel supported, trusted, and genuinely happy.
We’re a small, mighty team that cares deeply about our work, our clients, and each other. And right now, we’re growing.
We’re looking for an experienced, client-facing bookkeeper who wants to be part of something that feels good to be a part of. If you’re reading this and thinking, “wow… this feels different”, you might be in the right place.

The kind of person who thrives here
You’ll do really well here if you:
● Have strong bookkeeping experience (5+ years full-cycle)
● Are confident with QuickBooks Online
● Enjoy working with people, not just numbers
● Can stay calm and organized, especially when things get busy
● Ask questions and communicate openly
● Take ownership of your work (and your mistakes)
● Are tech-savvy and open to learning new apps (and even curious about AI)
● Like working independently but still want to feel part of a team
● Enjoy being part of a supportive, down-to-earth team
● You’re comfortable being part of a visible, human brand — this may include having your photo on our website or occasionally joining in on the occasional fun team content or social post (nothing forced, just being open to it).
