We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Accountant to support the financial operations of our flooring supply retail and installation business. This position will be responsible for maintaining accurate accounting records while closely monitoring the financial activity associated with flooring sales, material purchases, inventory, installation labor, subcontractors, and individual customer jobs.
The ideal candidate understands that profitability in a flooring business depends on more than accurate bookkeeping.

The Accountant will work closely with Sales, Operations, Installation, Warehouse/Purchasing, and Management to maintain strong financial controls and provide timely reporting on company and job performance.
