Bookkeeper and Office Administrator Hiring Pack
Not every small business needs a pure bookkeeper. Not every small business needs a pure office administrator. Many need one person who can do both, and knowing which one you actually need before you post a job description template is the difference between a great hire and an expensive mistake. This pack helps you figure that out first, then gives you everything you need to hire properly.
Three candidate profiles: Profile A is the pure bookkeeper focused on financial accuracy, AR, AP, reconciliations, and payroll. Profile B is the blend, financially literate and operationally capable, the most common small business hire at this level. Profile C is the pure office administrator focused on operations, coordination, and keeping the business running day to day.
Three job descriptions. Three job ads. A two-track behavioural interview guide, one for the financial role, one for the operational role. A candidate scorecard. A reference check guide. An offer letter template. And rejection templates.
Small business owners who need financial or operational support and want to make the right call on which type of hire actually fits their business before they post anything.
