As an employee-owned company, our people have a real stake in our success. We're looking for an organized, detail-oriented professional to keep our financial administration and office running smoothly.

The Role

Reporting to the President and Controller, the Accounting & Administrative Coordinator is roughly 70% accounting and 30% administration.

• Vendor & PO data: Review and update purchase order, subcontractor and supplier data in Procore and QuickBooks.
• Travel coordination: Manage hotel and flight requests, book employee travel on our weekly processing day, and make sure bookings are made with enough lead time.
• Purchasing & reimbursements: Process purchase and personal reimbursement requests weekly, and remit employee reimbursements in line with payroll cutoffs.
• Office & event coordination: Help organize company events such as staff BBQs and golf days, coordinate RSVPs and calendar invites, and support employee engagement and appreciation initiatives.
• Correspondence & filing: Process and distribute incoming mail, maintain efficient hard-copy and digital filing systems, and respond to requests for information promptly and professionally.
• General administrative support: Support the President and office team with scheduling, ordering office supplies and inventory, and other duties as required.

What You Bring
