Bookkeeper

Columbus, Ohio

Who We Are & What We’re Building

At Goodwin, we build tech for companies that sell private charter flights. We work with charter brokers who manage client relationships, price trips, secure aircraft owned by operators, and keep complex itineraries moving under constant time pressure. Much of that work still depends on manual coordination across emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls, especially when matching client requests with the right aircraft. 

Our tech gives brokers clearer visibility, faster workflows, and better control over their day-to-day work, so they can serve clients confidently as their businesses grow. In a detail-driven, high-responsibility industry where judgment matters and mistakes are costly, it helps reduce friction and brings clarity to complex charter workflows.

Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio with distributed talent across the US, Goodwin is on a fast-growth trajectory as we redefine private aviation technology from the ground up.

Why This Role Exists

Behind every successful finance team is someone who keeps the details organized, accurate, and moving forward.

As our Bookkeeper, you'll help maintain the financial records and day-to-day accounting operations that allow our business to run smoothly. You'll work closely with our Head of Finance to keep transactions organized, reconciliations current, company records accurate, and compliance activities on track. Your work will create the strong operational foundation that supports Goodwin's continued growth.

What You’ll Work On

  • Record and categorize financial transactions accurately and in a timely manner.
  • Organize and maintain accounting records, financial documentation, and company files
  • Perform reconciliations and investigate discrepancies to help ensure accurate financial reporting
  • Assist with Federal Excise Tax (FET) filings and payment preparation.
  • Support accounts payable, accounts receivable, and other day-to-day accounting activities
  • Help prepare information needed for month-end close and other recurring accounting processes
  • Maintain accurate records within QuickBooks, Excel, and other financial systems.
  • Support special projects and other accounting initiatives as Goodwin continues to grow
  • Maintain accurate financial records within QuickBooks, ERP systems, and Excel-based reporting
  • Support month-end close activities and other operational accounting initiatives as the company grows

How You’ll Know You’re Succeeding

  • The Head of Finance never has to wonder whether the books are organized, transactions are recorded, or reconciliations are up to date. She knows you've got them handled accurately and consistently.
  • Financial records stay organized, current, and reliable because you take pride in getting the details right the first time.
  • Reconciliations don't pile up. You catch discrepancies early, investigate them thoroughly, and resolve them before they become larger issues.
  • Month-end is smoother because you've kept the day-to-day accounting work organized instead of letting it accumulate.
  • Your teammates know they can count on you to keep accounting operations moving. When someone needs documentation, answers, or support, you're responsive, organized, and dependable.
  • As Goodwin grows, you help create better processes that make the finance team more efficient and scalable.

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–5 years of bookkeeping, accounting assistant, or operational accounting experience.
  • Experience working in a remote, fast-paced business environment where priorities shift quickly.
  • Strong attention to detail with a commitment to producing accurate work.
  • Experience performing reconciliations and maintaining organized financial records.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and accounting software such as QuickBooks or similar platforms.
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
  • A proactive, results-driven mindset and willingness to take ownership of your work.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams.
  • Authorization to work in the United States without employer sponsorship now or in the future.

 

Pay Range

  • This position has an anticipated hourly pay rate of $25/hour

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
