Harlequin’s is Hiring a Bookkeeper!
We are seeking someone who preferably has a passion for working at a small business that is committed to Harlequin’s values (supporting pesticide-free local gardening and gardeners; sustainable, low energy use greenhouses; reusing materials as much as possible; etc.). Someone who takes pride in clean, organized reporting that the ownership and company leadership can trust. You are organized and you take pride in proactive communication. You ask “why” because you want to understand the business, not just record it. You’re self-directed and don’t need to be chased down to accomplish a task. You’d rather build a clean system than patch a mess forever. Most of all, you’re excited to help us with our mission and consistently do your best to bring a positive attitude to your work!
