Office

Accountant

The only accounting seat. You keep the books, the job cost, and the payroll for a small manufacturer. There is no department behind you.

The Work

Keep the general ledger, the bank reconciliation, and the monthly close.
Run accounts payable, accounts receivable, and invoicing.
Job-cost each module so we know if the work made money before the job is forgotten.
Run payroll, or run the payroll service and check it before anyone is paid.
Track sales tax and the records a lender or a tax filing will ask for.
Tell the owner when a job, a vendor, or the cash is going the wrong way. Do not wait for year end.

You have closed the books for a small company, a contractor, or a manufacturer.
You have done job cost, not only categorized expenses.
You have run payroll or reviewed a payroll service closely enough to catch a mistake.
You can work without a controller checking your entries. You are the accounting person.
