Bookkeeper Jobs in West Covina, CA

A Bookkeeper in the accounting industry plays an essential role in maintaining, verifying, and recording financial transactions for a company. They handle day-to-day accounting tasks such as data entry, managing accounts payable and receivable, processing payroll, and preparing financial reports. Productivity, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of basic accounting principles are crucial skills for this role. Having proficiency in accounting software such as QuickBooks, Excel, and other data management programs is also beneficial. Additionally, a Bookkeeper should have strong analytical skills to interpret and present financial data accurately.
