Jobbeschreibung

About Us

Veritas Consulting & Construction Group is a family-owned residential roofing and remodeling contractor based in Hallsville, serving Columbia and central Missouri. We're a small team of about 14 people, and our office runs on accuracy, follow-through, and people who take ownership of their work.

About the Role

We're hiring a Head Bookkeeper to take over our company books from ownership. This is a hands‑on role: you'll own the general ledger, reconciliations, month‑end close, job costing, and work with our outside CPA firm.

We'll be upfront: you won't start there. Our day‑to‑day bookkeeping is currently shared between ownership and our Accounting & Sales Support Coordinator, so you'll learn the business from the ground up first. That means you'll know every part of our accounting workflow and can run any of it when needed. Here's how it works:

How You'll Grow Into the Role

• Phase 1 — Learn the office (first several months): Train alongside our Coordinator and learn the full day‑to‑day role: payables, client invoicing and collections, payments and deposits, QuickBooks Online entry, project tracking in Leap CRM, roofing permits, job files, and front‑office communication.
• Phase 2 — Cover (about 6 weeks in early 2027): Run the Coordinator role independently while a team member is on a planned leave.
• Phase 3 — Re-sync: Work side‑by‑side with the Coordinator when they return to hand the work back and catch up on anything that changed.
• Phase 4 — Step into Head Bookkeeper: Ownership divides the shared duties between the two roles and trains you on the rest of the Head Bookkeeper work: month‑end close, WIP reporting, journal entries, the monthly meeting with our CPA, year‑end, and insurance audit schedules. Once the Coordinator duties are fully handed back, your pay moves to $25/hr.

What You'll Do (Once Fully in the Role)

• Serve as the primary QuickBooks Online user and maintain the chart of accounts
• Reconcile all bank, credit card, and loan accounts monthly
• Record client payments, prepare deposits, and prepare checks and transfers for owner approval
• Run the month‑end close and deliver plain‑language financial reports to ownership
• Produce job costing, project margin, and work‑in‑progress (WIP) reports
• Serve as the day‑to‑day contact for our outside CPA firm, including the monthly financial meeting and year‑end package
• Prepare financial schedules for insurance audits and tax preparation
• Stay cross‑trained on the Coordinator role and cover it when that seat is out

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of hands‑on bookkeeping experience, including reconciliations
• Solid QuickBooks Online skills (reconciliations, journal entries)
• Working knowledge of accounts payable, accounts receivable, and deposits
• Strong Excel skills
• A team‑first attitude: during training you will handle front‑office and admin work right alongside the books
• High accuracy, discretion with confidential information, and the ability to work independently
• Required: learn and use Leap CRM, our project management system, daily (training provided)

Nice to Have

• Construction or contractor accounting experience, including WIP schedules
• Experience running a full monthly close or working with an outside CPA firm
• Experience with insurance premium audits

Pay & Benefits

• $23/hr during training and coverage; $25/hr once the Coordinator duties are fully handed back and you move into the Head Bookkeeper role
• Paid holidays and paid time off
• SIMPLE IRA retirement plan
• Full‑time, Monday–Friday, standard business hours

Good to Know

• This position is currently in‑office in Hallsville, MO
• A drug screening and background check are required
