• Lead the selection, setup, and rollout of a modern inventory tracking system; establish best practices for physical inventory counts, raw material tracking, and valuation.
• Oversee day-to-day accounting operations, including general ledger maintenance, accounts payable/receivable, job costing, and month-end closing procedures.
• Leverage QuickBooks, ADP, and Excel to drive efficient bookkeeping and reporting; assist with payroll-related tasks, reporting, and data entry as needed.
• Analyze financial and job data, face facts directly identifying variances and presenting actionable solutions without sugarcoating realities.
• Fill gaps across department operations by proactively supporting team members in areas where financial, inventory, or administrative assistance is needed.
• Defend organizational interests and team integrity through accurate reporting, compliance enforcement, and sound financial stewardship.
• Willingness to jump in, support peers, and protect the team's shared goals and reputation.

Requirements

• Proficiency in QuickBooks, ADP, and advanced Excel for streamlined bookkeeping and reporting.
• Exceptional attention to detail in data entry, document control, time management, and problem-solving.
• Demonstrated experience or strong eagerness to implement and manage an inventory system from scratch.
• Self-starter with high accountability, strong analytical skills, and a direct, reality-based approach to financial reporting.
• Thrives under pressure, handles shifting priorities, and excels in a high-energy, dynamic atmosphere.
