Job Description

About the
Opportunity :
The Bookkeeper is the person who makes sure every invoice, draw, and reconciliation lands exactly where it should, on time, every time. This is a fast-paced accounting department, and we need someone who genuinely loves it: the satisfaction of a clean reconciliation, a properly coded chart of accounts, and a month-end close that comes together on time. You'll work closely with the Finance Director to ensure that the tasks and books are accurate, all while keeping accuracy and confidentiality front and center.
What You'll Be Responsible For Accounts Payable:
Enter roughly 100 invoices per week, coded correctly to the chart of accounts, and process vendor payments bi-weekly.
Accounts Receivable:
Review the production calendar weekly, release customer invoices, and request financing draws from the bank according to the draw schedule.
Account Maintenance:
Keep 50+ customer accounts updated and current every week.
Daily Sales Processing:
Process sales transactions each day.
Month-End Close:
Prepare and enter journal entries accurately and on schedule.
Reconciliations:
Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and balance-sheet accounts monthly.
Permit Checks:
Process checks for permits.
Other Duties:
Support the broader team with additional bookkeeping tasks as needed to help close the books accurately and on time each month. What Success Looks Like Customer invoices (A/R) are released accurately weekly. Bank and credit card accounts are reconciled by the 10th of the month. Vendor invoices (A/P) are entered weekly and coded to the correct account. Vendor and customer accounts are accurate and up to date. Month-end journal entries are accurate and completed by the 10th of the month. What We're Looking For 3-5+ years of hands-on bookkeeping or accounting experience. Strong working knowledge of QuickBooks Online. Hands-on experience with A/P, A/R, bank reconciliations, credit card reconciliations, and general ledger activity. A solid understanding of debits, credits, and basic accrual accounting. Strong Excel skills. Exceptional attention to detail and follow-through. The ability to manage multiple recurring deadlines without letting anything slip. Comfort researching and resolving discrepancies independently. Clear, professional written and verbal communication. A willingness to follow established processes, while speaking up with thoughtful improvements when you see them. Construction, project accounting, job-costing, customer deposits, or progress billing experience is a strong plus. You May Be a Great Fit If You… Genuinely love hitting deadlines and keeping the books accurate. Find real satisfaction in checklists, structure, and routine. Take pride in reconciling accounts down to the penny. Can't rest until you've found the reason behind a discrepancy. Move easily between predictable daily tasks and the occasional accounting curveball. Are comfortable picking up the phone to talk to a customer about a past-due invoice.
