Small Accounting Company Seeking Assistant

And by small, I mean SMALL, as in it's just me in a home office.

About a decade ago, I changed careers and took a chance on starting a small accounting firm. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but now things have gotten to the point where I have to admit that I need help continuing on - a conclusion that took me a while to get to since this is essentially inviting someone into my home every day.

Now I understand that this already is driving some people away just because of the setup. And if that is the case, good job, you should avoid situations that make you feel uncomfortable.

For those that remain, I admire your boldness.

And as I have grown to love working from home and the extra freedom and benefits it can offer, I am hoping to be able to offer this to someone else, as well. As such, I am much more concerned about finding the right person individually to fill this role than someone with the best resume. I am confident that I can teach you anything you need to know to complete the work, but I can't make someone into the person who feels comfortable as we work that closely alongside each other.

This is a different type of opportunity, but hopefully it will really fit well with what someone is seeking. If that is you, tell me why this would work for you and maybe it will be the start of something that helps us both.

So who answers this job posting?

I would like to play out this type of unorthodox working relationship from the start and see what it can grow into.

I have to admit that from my end this is based in my own life, but I don't expect my partner to have to play themselves. Instead, I think this could go in many different directions and all of them would be enjoyable. So I am hoping this gives someone a character idea of their own and we can run with it.

So if you have read this and have such an idea, please come say hi and let me know.
