Office Manager / Accounting Assistant Cantrell & Associates | Panama City, FL Full-Time | $45,000 - $65,000 DOE About the Opportunity We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established civil engineering firm in the Panama City area. This is a stable, long-term seat with a close-knit team that values loyalty and trust. It's an even split between running the office and supporting the firm's accounting function — and if the accounting side is new to you, that's fine. The firm will train you. For the right person this is a chance to add a real, marketable skill set on top of what you already do well. What You'll Be Doing You'll keep the office running — supplies and vendors, mail and shipping, scanning and typing, meeting and catering coordination, project folder setup, greeting the occasional walk-in, and day-to-day support to firm leadership. The other half is supporting the firm's accountant on the books: entering data into the accounting system, running the weekly check run, receiving payments and running the daily receivables report, and keeping project and meeting records current. You'll be trained on all of it and you won't be doing it alone. This is a visible seat and the office genuinely depends on it.
