Part-Time Senior Bookkeeper (QuickBooks Online)

About Bridge Marina: Bridge Marina, Inc. is a family-owned, award-winning marina and boating hospitality company with locations on Lake Hopatcong and the Jersey Shore. We operate boat rentals, a boating club, education and training, service, storage, slips, and new and used boat sales.

We are growing and strengthening our financial operations. We’re seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Senior Bookkeeper who can take ownership of our QuickBooks Online environment and deliver accurate, predictable month-end numbers. This is a part-time role ideal for someone who wants meaningful, flexible work without the corporate intensity found in family owned business.

Pay Range: $25–$35/hour (based on experience and value brought)
Hours: 10–20 hours/week, flexible
Location: Lake Hopatcong, NJ (Hybrid: remote + occasional on-site)

Important Fit Notes (Please Read):

This is not a fully remote role. We want someone local enough to come on-site occasionally for smoother coordination, accountability and being part of a greater team.
This role is a consistent, long-term, part-time position with growth opportunities. We’re flexible with scheduling, however we’re primarily seeking someone who can give it reliable attention and isn’t juggling the role as an additional position alongside full-time employment.

Month-End Close (10th–15th each month)
