Job description

Bookkeeper/Office Manager

Location: Moscow, ID

Be the Financial Backbone of a 5-Star Electrical Service Company

If you love keeping things organized, keeping customers taken care of, and making sure the office runs like clockwork, this role will fit. Cheetah Electric has served Moscow, Pullman, and the Palouse region since 1978, delivering reliable electrical service and a true 5-star customer experience.

We're hiring a full-time, in-office Bookkeeper/Office Manager to be the steady operational center of our busy service office, supporting phones, scheduling flow, paperwork, and the "hands-on" office tasks that keep our field team moving. This is a 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM position Mon.-Fri

Important note based on our workflow: We are restructuring this position to work alongside a remote bookkeeper for month-end close and higher-level accounting work. This in-office role does not need to own the month-end close, but it does need to be highly organized, dependable, customer-friendly, and comfortable handling day-to-day office operations and finance support tasks.

Ideal Candidate

• Thrives in a small business environment and enjoys wearing multiple hats
• Is highly organized and detail-oriented
• Communicates directly and follows through

• Support leadership with meeting notes, action items, and follow-ups
• Assist with HR/admin paperwork, onboarding, and internal documentation
• Manage vendor accounts, supplies, and office purchasing
• Perform Apprentice and Journeyman technician hourly reporting for Idaho and Washington.
• Ensure apprentices are registered for and progressing in required training programs.

Bookkeeping Support (In-Office/Hands-On)

• Manage and route incoming bills, invoices, and financial paperwork for processing
• Support accounts payable and receivable tasks (as assigned)
• Assist with payroll prep support and time/technician hours tracking
• Support job costing data collection (gathering, organizing, and submitting to the remote bookkeeper)
• Help maintain compliance documentation (Idaho/Washington as applicable), including contractor/license-related paperwork support
• Coordinate clean handoffs to the remote bookkeeper (scans, uploads, coding notes, documentation)

Process Support

• Help improve and maintain written procedures, so work is consistent and easy to follow
• Keep systems organized so leadership always has visibility and confidence

Qualifications

• 2 or more years of experience in office management, admin operations, bookkeeping support, or similar
• Skilled in handling phones, customers, vendors, and internal coordination
• Detail-oriented with strong follow-through and organization
• Proficiency with QuickBooks (or ability to learn quickly) and basic Excel/Sheets
• Ability to work full-time during our office hours of 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM in the office in Moscow, ID
• Must pass a background check and drug test upon conditional offer
• Preferred: experience in a service business, trades, or construction environment

Pay & Benefits

• Full-time, W-2 employment
• Pay: $22 -$26 per hour, based on experience
• Medical benefits (including dental & vision)
• Paid holidays
• Paid vacation
• Stable, long-term position
• Direct access to leadership decision-making
• Modern software and office tools/new technology
• Paid training and continuing education opportunities
• Work culture: a tight-knit, family-oriented team that values integrity, accountability, and clear communication
