Bookkeeper Jobs in Fairburn, GA

A Bookkeeper in the accounting industry plays an essential role in maintaining, verifying, and recording financial transactions for a company.

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.
