  • Reconcile bank accounts monthly and keep an eye on account activity
  • Look into discrepancies or irregular transactions and flag them to management
  • Keep financial records organized and support routine reporting

Payroll

  • Verify time records and maintain payroll records and deductions
  • Assist with payroll tax filings and reporting as needed

Administrative & Compliance

What You Bring

  • Background in billing, AR, bookkeeping, and weekly payroll
  • Close attention to detail and solid organizational skills
  • Ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing accuracy
  • Experience in field services, construction, trades, or a similar small-business environment is a plus
