• Support billing, payroll-related accounting records, vendor records, job-cost documentation, and general accounting administration as needed.
• Provide knowledgeable support for multi-state payroll, benefits-related records, unemployment tax requirements, audits, registrations, notices, and compliance documentation.
• Help leadership evaluate whether the open Billing and Payroll Assistant position should be filled or whether responsibilities can be absorbed through improved structure, clearer processes, and department capacity.
• Maintain confidentiality and professionalism with company, financial, vendor, and employee information.
• Identify practical process improvements that support accuracy, accountability, communication, and long-term financial health as the company grows.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Valid U.S. work authorization.
• Proven accounting leadership experience, such as Controller, Accounting Manager, senior bookkeeper, or similar role.
• Strong understanding of financial statements, reconciliations, general ledger activity, budgeting, cash flow, and job-cost or project-based accounting.
• Required experience working with a multi-state company, including payroll coordination, benefits administration, unemployment taxes, audits, and state‑specific compliance requirements.
• Experience supervising, training, or reviewing the work of accounting staff.
• Strong Excel, Microsoft Office, and accounting software skills, with the ability to improve organization and reporting without overcomplicating daily workflows.
• Ability to handle sensitive information with confidentiality, professionalism, and sound judgment.
• Strong follow-through, communication, problem‑solving, and willingness to work hands‑on in a small-to-mid‑sized business environment.
