• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.
• Support payroll by ensuring accurate labor and job cost allocations.
• Work closely with operational leaders to provide financial insight and improve business performance.
• Coordinate with the Divisional Controller on monthly reporting, audits, tax preparation, and other accounting initiatives.

• Experience in the home services, construction, or skilled trades industry is preferred.
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is preferred but not required. Equivalent experience will be considered.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to grow into a Controller position if you're an experienced bookkeeper looking for the next step in your career.
• Work directly with company leadership and play an important role in financial decision-making.
• Join a growing company where your ideas and contributions will make a meaningful impact.
• Be part of a collaborative team committed to excellence and continuous improvement.

As a small business owner, I am extremely pleased with the work performed by Hometown Plumbing that answered my panicked call! Not only were we met with ease and professionalism from Megan, but Jimmy and his team were so helpful in finding a solution that would best fit our needs at the business. Reasonably priced and explains their thought process. Highly recommend working with this team and will be calling again when in need!

Best. Plumbers. Ever. I have used this business for multiple issues in my house, the latest being a whole house replumb. Professional, courteous, clean. Rusty and Joseph were wonderful! Did I mention they showed up on time every day? Definitely went above and beyond. I would give them 10 stars if google would let me.
