Careers at Northwest Wine Accounting

Make a difference and be seen

In a small firm, every team member makes a huge difference. With us, you can live up to your full potential, collaborate in an affirming culture, and get the flexibility and work-life balance you need.

We are a 100% virtual firm and employees can work from anywhere. However, we are especially interested in candidates located in Washington and Oregon.

  • We are a small, tight-knit team. It is absolutely essential that are able to work collaboratively within a remote environment. If you need a job where you are left alone, or where nothing ever changes, this is not the job for you. Communication and responsiveness are key. You must not only be a problem-solver, but someone who naturally shares what they learn from problem-solving and thereby elevates the the entire team.

    We value transparency, positivity, learning, flexibility, and collaboration.

    We believe that documented processes are the foundation of our ability to work together to serve our clients efficiently and effectively. All team members are responsible for following, building, documenting, and improving all the processes they work within.

Open Position: Bookkeeper

At Northwest Wine Accounting, we exist for two reasons:

  1. To help wineries thrive by delivering top-notch accounting

  2. To build a workplace that is genuinely rewarding for our team

What We Do

We are a 100% remote accounting firm based in Washington state. Our core offering is to serve as the outsourced accounting department for small and midsized wineries.

Our services include:

  • Bookkeeping & payroll

  • Controllership & inventory costing

  • Regulatory compliance

  • Data analytics

  • Fractional CFO support & advisory

We’re a modern, people-first accounting firm that uses tools like QBO, Gusto, Dext, and BILL to streamline our work, so that we can make the accounting experience smoother and more transparent for both clients and team members.

Who We Serve

Our clients are often family-owned wineries at a crossroads—either growing quickly or tired of piecing things together on their own. They’re looking for an expert partner who understands the complexity of winery accounting and can help them get it right.

We love helping our clients make better decisions, build sustainable businesses, and spend more time on the craft (and less time in the books).

What It's Like to Work Here

We’re a small, collaborative, and fully remote team that values service, flexibility, and real human connection.

We take pride in being dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful to our clients and each other. Whether it’s replying to a client question quickly or jumping in to support a teammate, we believe that showing up with care and competence is part of what makes us great at what we do.

We currently have a team of 5 accountants, 1 compliance specialist, and 2 advisors spread across the country.

About the Role

As a Bookkeeper, you’ll be the main point of contact for your clients. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Document intake and transaction processing

  • Bill pay, payroll, and sales tax

  • Bank and credit card reconciliations

  • Month-end close prep

  • Communicating with clients via email, apps, phone, and Zoom

This is a client-facing role that’s ideal for someone who enjoys structure, precision, and being genuinely helpful.

As a Bookkeeper, you'll work closely with our Controllers, who handle inventory costing, final reviews, and financial statements. You'll always have someone to check your work, answer questions, and back you up.

What We're Looking For

You'll be great in this role if you...

  • Can work efficiently and stay focused on routine, detail-heavy tasks

  • Can juggle multiple clients and projects without dropping the ball

  • Are confident with technology

  • Communicate clearly, professionally, and transparently

  • Can work independently and ask for help when needed

Qualifications

We're open to training the right person, but we're ideally looking for someone who has:

  • A certificate or degree in accounting (or working toward one)

  • 1–2 years of solid bookkeeping experience

  • QuickBooks Online experience

  • Bonus points if you’ve used tools like Gusto, Dext, BILL, or Uncat

  • Even more bonus points for experience in the wine industry, remote work, or working with multiple clients

Schedule & Compensation

  • Full-time preferred

  • Part-time possible

  • Salary: $45-$60K depending on experience

Perks

  • 3 weeks PTO your first year, 4 weeks after

  • 8 paid holidays
