As we continue to expand, we're seeking a highly organized, detail-driven Bookkeeper / Office Administrator to join our core team. This role demands someone who can manage complex accounts payable, maintain accurate financial records, and handle administrative operations with professionalism.

About the Role:

This is not your typical bookkeeping position. We're looking for a proactive problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can confidently manage both accounting and administrative duties. You'll be a key player in supporting project-based accounting, managing high-volume AP, and ensuring smooth internal operations.

Core Responsibilities:

• Manage and accurately enter all transactions into QuickBooks Desktop
• Own the full-cycle accounts payable process, including invoice verification, coding, and vendor communication
• Prepare and maintain trial balances and assist with month-end close
• Maintain detailed credit card records and reconcile monthly statements
• Track budgets, flag variances, and generate financial reports using Excel
• Assist with tax filings, 1099s, and compliance documentation
• Support reporting related to construction project costs and client billing

Administrative Operations

• Organize and maintain digital records for insurance, compliance, and fleet documentation
• Handle scanning, uploading, and record-keeping for vendor bills and project documents
• Assist with office logistics and coordination across departments
• Support onboarding processes and internal documentation for operational systems
• Serve as a go-to team player for daily administrative needs

What We're Looking For:

• Minimum 3+ years of experience in a high-volume accounting role using QuickBooks Desktop
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, formulas, formatting)
• Strong understanding of bookkeeping, job costing, and reconciliation
• Exceptionally organized with the ability to multitask and follow through
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a small, collaborative team
• Prior construction industry experience or working with project-based accounting is highly preferred

What You'll Gain:

• A key role in a growing and well-respected construction firm
• Direct exposure to project-level financial operations
• Opportunities for professional growth and cross-training
• Supportive team culture focused on precision and accountability
• Competitive compensation and benefits package
