We’re Hiring: Rockstar Bookkeeper – Client Accounting Services (CPA Firm)

Firm: Senter CPA, P.C.

Location: Clarkston, MI – In-Office Position

Hours: Monday – Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Position: Full-Time Bookkeeper / Accounting Tech Extraordinaire

Salary: $50,000 – $65,000 (based on experience)

This Isn’t Your Typical Accounting Firm

At Senter CPA, we don’t just keep the books—we keep small businesses moving. We’re a tight-knit team that’s proudly powered by coffee, cloud tech, and a whole lot of care for the clients we serve.

We’ve been supporting entrepreneurs, family-run businesses, and community builders for years. But we don’t live in spreadsheets from 1997. We’re the kind of firm that automates what can be automated, embraces fresh tools, and dares to rethink what accounting support should feel like.

What You’ll Be Doing

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just “do bookkeeping”—we want someone who owns it:

· Managing multiple client books with confidence and care

· Handling reconciliations, AR/AP, journal entries, and clean-up work like a pro

· Leveraging tools like QuickBooks Online, Tax Dome, Gusto, Bill.com, Xero, and more

· Communicating with clients like a real human (not a robot)

· Thinking one step ahead to flag issues before they become problems

· Helping us level-up our processes with your ideas and tech savvy

· Processing payroll

This Role Is For You If You’re:

· Confident, curious, and tech-forward — you don’t wait to be told, you figure things out

· Organized and reliable — you know when something’s off in the numbers (and love solving it)

· Energized by fast-paced work — you thrive juggling a few moving pieces at once

· Someone who “gets” small business clients — and loves helping them grow

· Comfortable in cloud-based workflows — and excited to try something new if it makes things better

What You’ll Need

· 2–5 years of bookkeeping experience (public firm or multi-client work preferred)

· Proficiency in QuickBooks Online, Excel/Google Sheets, and cloud accounting tools

· Strong written and verbal communication skills

· The ability to work independently and collaboratively

· Bonus: experience with payroll systems, client onboarding, or catch-up/clean-up work

Why You’ll Love Working Here

· Close-knit, no-drama team who genuinely support each other

· Room to grow your role and shape how we do things

· A culture that values people first—team, clients, and community

· Embrace of technology and flexibility

· Competitive pay, benefits, and the chance to make a real impact

National Reading Month at Senter, CPA 

March is National Reading Month, and it’s a reminder of something simple but incredibly powerful: books change lives.

Most of us can remember our favorite childhood story. You know the one we asked to hear again and again before bedtime, or the book that first made reading feel fun instead of like homework. Those early moments matter more than we often realize. They help children build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

That’s one of the reasons Senter, CPA has chosen to support the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

A Day in the Life of a CPA During Tax Season (Please Send Snacks)

If you’ve ever wondered what happens after you drop off your tax documents, here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at life inside a small CPA firm during tax season.

Sharing Online Banking with Your Accountant

To allow your accountant access to your bank’s online banking system, follow these general steps. This typically involves navigating to a “User Management” or “Account Access” section, where you can add a new user and set permissions—usually “view-only” for accountants.

The 7 Deadly (Tax) Sins of Small Business Owners

Running a business is hard enough — between serving customers, managing staff, and juggling invoices, your taxes can feel like an afterthought. But beware, small business owner: the IRS has seen it all, and a few “little” mistakes can cost you big.

What the New “No Tax on Tips” Rule Means for You

The treatment of tip income is changing in 2025, thanks to the new “No Tax on Tips” provision introduced under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). While tips remain taxable in several respects, eligible workers may now claim a federal income tax deduction of up to $25,000 annually for “qualified tips.”

Why QuickBooks Can’t Replace Your Accountant (Even If It Thinks It Can)

Let’s face it — QuickBooks is amazing. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of bookkeeping. It tracks your income, pays your bills, and even sends friendly reminders that you forgot to reconcile your bank account… again. But while QuickBooks can do a lot, it can’t do everything — especially the things that can make or save you money. And that’s where your accountant (hi, that’s us) comes in.

Business Mileage Deductibility: What Qualifies and What Does Not

Vehicle expenses can be a valuable tax deduction, but only when mileage is properly classified and documented. For tax purposes, the deductibility of mileage depends on whether the travel is considered business, commuting, or personal. Understanding these distinctions is essential to support allowable business mileage deductions.
