Job description

Accounting Assistant (Controller Support – Collision Industry)

Honolulu, HI (On-Site)

UNIBODY Autotech Collision

$20–$28/hr | Full-Time or Part-Time

Join a High-Performance Team

UNIBODY Autotech Collision is Hawaii’s premier collision repair center. We run a fast-paced, high-volume operation where accuracy, speed, and accountability matter.

We’re looking for an Accounting Assistant to work directly with our Controller and help manage a collision-specific accounting system — including parts, job costing, and insurance receivables.

What Makes This Role Different

This is not traditional accounting.

You’ll learn how accounting connects to:

• Collision repair job costing
• Parts purchasing + inventory posting
• Insurance payments + supplements
• OEM procedures tied to repair operations

We use CCC ONE (collision management system) — we’ll train you — but you must be ready to learn automotive + OEM terminology and how it impacts financials.

What You’ll Do

• Support Controller with daily accounting + financial tracking
• Manage Accounts Receivable (insurance + customer payments)
• Post and track parts invoices, vendor bills, and job costs
• Reconcile repair orders with financial records
• Assist with payroll, journal entries, and month-end close
• Perform bank + credit card reconciliations
• Keep books clean, accurate, and audit-ready

What We Want

• 1+ year accounting / bookkeeping experience
• Strong attention to detail (numbers must match)
• Comfortable learning new systems + industry terminology
• QuickBooks + Excel experience preferred
• Ability to follow up, solve problems, and stay organized
• Willing to learn CCC ONE + collision repair workflows (we train)

Bonus (Big Advantage)

• Experience in auto body, dealership, or repair shop accounting
• Familiarity with parts invoicing, job costing, or inventory
• Understanding of OEM parts / procedures (or willingness to learn fast)

Why Join Us

• Work directly with leadership (Controller)
• Learn a high-value niche skillset (collision accounting)
• Growth opportunity into higher accounting roles
• Full benefits (health, dental, vision, PTO)
• Stable, high-performing company
