Bookkeeper / Administrative Assistant | Tampa, FL | Competitive Pay + Full Benefits

Join a family-owned, entrepreneurial company in Tampa as a Bookkeeper and Administrative Assistant — a dual-focus role that puts you at the center of daily financial operations and office support in a fast-moving, people-first environment. You will work closely with the owners and Controller, handling everything from AP and AR to scheduling, vendor coordination, and general administrative support, making this an ideal fit for someone who thrives on variety, takes ownership of their responsibilities, and enjoys being the person the team relies on to keep things running smoothly. The company has a strong local presence, a passionate team, and a culture that genuinely rewards reliability and initiative — including an employee discount and real growth opportunity for someone who proves themselves. They run a unique schedule that offers certain weekdays off. If you bring 5+ years of hands‑on bookkeeping and administrative experience, a solid understanding of AP and AR debits and credits, and the proactive, detail‑oriented approach that fast-paced environments demand, this is a stable and rewarding place to build your career.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable in a high-volume environment — including invoice processing, payment runs, collections follow-up, and account reconciliations.
• Work directly with the owners on banking, accounting, and financial management activities.
• Maintain the chart of accounts; perform data entry and basic reconciliations with accuracy and timeliness.
• Assist in the preparation of regularly scheduled financial reports and expense report reconciliations.
• Answer phones and emails professionally; serve as the point of contact for internal staff and external clients.
• Coordinate travel arrangements, meetings, and scheduling for managers and owners.
• Write and distribute correspondence including memos, letters, and forms; develop and maintain organized filing systems.
• Update and maintain office policies and procedures; order and manage office supplies and vendor relationships.
• Maintain accurate contact lists and provide general support to visitors and staff as needed.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands‑on bookkeeping and administrative experience in a fast-paced environment.
• Solid understanding of AP and AR debits and credits; full‑cycle bookkeeping background preferred.
• Comfort learning and working within specialized systems is essential.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel including data entry and basic formulas; strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office overall.
• Reliable, proactive, and detail-oriented — you notice what needs doing and handle it without being asked.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a professional, polished demeanor.
• Ability to multitask effectively and prioritize in a high-volume, fast-moving environment.

Why you’ll love working here
