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

Your Year-End Tax Bill Shouldn’t Be a Surprise

December has a way of making tax planning feel urgent—but by December, you’re already behind the strategy and some of the best planning opportunities could have already passed you.

Fall Accounting

It’s like spring cleaning, but now we’re working on it in between Back to School and Football and Pumpkins and Mostly Great Weather!

Trump Accounts: What Parents—Especially Michigan Families—Need to Know

Trump Accounts are a new type of savings vehicle designed to help families build long-term financial resources for children. Structured as a special type of traditional IRA, these accounts have specific rules governing eligibility, contributions, investments, and withdrawals.

Senter Forward: The Kind of Client Relationship We Want to Build

I will start with something that may sound strange coming from a CPA firm: we are not trying to take every piece of work that walks through the door.
We have reached a point where the question is less “Can we prepare this return?” and more “Can we build a relationship here where our team can actually help?” That difference matters.

Federal Updates on Tip And Overtime Tax Deductions

Recent federal tax legislation introduced new deductions related to qualified tip income and overtime pay. These changes may benefit eligible employees while also creating additional reporting responsibilities for employers. At Senter CPA, we are helping both businesses and individual taxpayers understand how these rules apply and how to stay compliant.

1099 Filing Requirements Update! Yes, this is good news!

The reporting amount threshold has increased. Yes, you read that right! The old $600 filing requirement for 1099-MISC & 1099-NECs has been increased to $2,000, with some minor exceptions.

To jog your memory, if you need it, you are required to file 1099s to those who you pay for rent, contract labor (not through your payroll), interest, etc. The 1099-MISC is most commonly used to report rent, while the 1099-NEC is mostly used to report non-employee compensation to most everyone.

Mid-Year Financial Checkup Checklist: Are You on Track for 2026?

Summer is a good time to check in on your finances. The year is already halfway over, which makes it easier to see what’s working and what might need attention. Maybe your income has changed. Maybe you’ve spent more than expected or fallen behind on a savings goal.

Understanding Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments

If you’re self-employed, a freelancer, or a small business owner, quarterly estimated tax payments are an important part of staying current with your federal tax obligations. Because taxes typically aren’t withheld from self-employment income, the IRS requires many taxpayers to pay taxes throughout the year instead of waiting until they file their annual return. Making timely estimated payments can help avoid a large tax bill and potential underpayment penalties.

Why I Visit Our Accounting Clients

Every couple of years, I spend part of my summer leaving the office.

That probably sounds strange coming from a CPA.
