About the Company

Backed by the reputation of a trusted national brand established in 1994, Mr. Electric and Mr. Rooter of Newark combines the rock-solid stability of an industry powerhouse with the energy and momentum of a fast-growing regional leader. We are growing fast, smashing operational records, and building a company where people genuinely love showing up to work.

Our track record speaks for itself: team members don't leave. In fact, our last voluntary resignation was over three years ago because of our fun and caring culture. We move at high speed, celebrate wins together, have fun every day, and don't take life too seriously while maintaining the highest standard of excellence in the trades.

About the Role

As our Senior Bookkeeper, you will step into an essential, brand-new on-site role created to serve as the core financial backbone of our home services company.

Working directly out of our Newark office alongside leadership, you will take full ownership of our bookkeeping engine across both Mr. Rooter and Mr. Electric - and a budding restoration company. You will bridge field operations and accounting by synchronizing ServiceTitan with QuickBooks, reconciling high-volume multi-trade transactions, and maintaining clean ledgers so ownership can make quick, data-driven decisions without delay.
