How it works
Bookkeeping work from Georgia
Contractors keep small business books current each month: categorizing, reconciling accounts and producing reports in QuickBooks Online, Xero or the client's own software. We are a young firm and take a limited number of contractors, so we do not promise a volume of work. We do not have an office in Georgia, and the work is done online. The larger cities in Georgia that our pages cover include Atlanta, Savannah.
If you live near Atlanta or elsewhere in Georgia, you can work from home; finance, insurance, technology, manufacturing, logistics, transportation, film and tourism are among the sectors in the state.
What you need
Requirements
- Confidence reconciling accounts every month and explaining the results plainly
- Working knowledge of QuickBooks Online, Xero or comparable software
- Care with client records and a commitment to confidentiality
- A W-9 and a signed independent contractor agreement
- Knowing Georgia's filing calendar helps, but it is not required
- Your own computer and connection, and a space where client files stay private
Georgia work
What Georgia clients' books involve
The Georgia Department of Revenue sets sales tax returns monthly for most taxpayers, due the 20th of the month after the reporting period, and a return is still required in a month with no sales. We confirm the rate for your location and your schedule on your own Georgia Tax Center account.
In Georgia, the routine around the books usually includes:
- The annual registration with the Secretary of State, due April 1 (the Secretary of State lists a $60 fee and a $25 late penalty)
- Withholding and unemployment insurance reports for employees
- Monthly sales and use tax returns, due the 20th, prepared for you to file
- Records for local sales taxes that depend on where you sell
Georgia sales tax rates vary by location, so we record where each sale lands. Your tax professional will ask.
Official sources: Georgia Department of Revenue and Georgia Secretary of State. Rates and deadlines change, so confirm with the agency. We do not give tax or legal advice.

Georgia details
What to know about Georgia work
The state tax agency is Georgia Department of Revenue. You do not need to be an expert in its rules, but you should be comfortable reading its notices and knowing which filings belong to the client and which to their tax professional.
We do not hire for a location. A Georgia bookkeeper works from home, in the client's own file, on a monthly schedule.
What it pays
Pay and terms
Rates are discussed on a short call and confirmed in writing before you take on any client. We do not have a posted rate. This is independent contractor work with a 1099 at year end, and you choose what you accept.
This page is not legal advice. Honest note: we are a young company, and we keep the team small so the contractors who join early get the work as it grows.
