Accounting/Bookkeeper

Blue Collars LLC

Role Overview

Blue Collars Plumbing & HVAC is seeking a highly organized, detail-driven Accounting & Finance Manager to own the financial backbone of a fast-growing commercial service company.

This role exists to protect margins, tighten controls, support operations, and give ownership real financial clarity-not just reports that sit in a folder. You will work closely with ownership, operations, estimating, and the office team to ensure every dollar, job, and technician is accounted for accurately.

This is a hands-on role suited for someone who understands job costing, service trades, payroll complexity, commissions, and cash-flow timing in the real world-not theory.
Core Responsibilities
Accounting & Financial Operations

Own day-to-day accounting operations (AP, AR, reconciliations, payroll coordination)
Maintain a clean, accurate general ledger and chart of accounts
Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and internal accounts monthly
Track and allocate costs by job number, department, and project
Manage vendor payments, credits, returns, and documentation
Support material bill-backs, deductions, and employee chargebacks per company policy

Job Costing & Margin Control

Ensure accurate job costing across service calls, projects, and large commercial work
Track labor, materials, equipment, rentals, subcontractors, and overhead by job
Flag margin erosion, cost overruns, and billing gaps early
Work directly with ownership and operations to explain why margins move-not just that they did
Assist with change orders, retainage tracking, and progress billing

ServiceTitan & System Integration

Work inside ServiceTitan to support:
- Job costing accuracy
- Revenue recognition
- Payroll and commission tracking
- Invoicing and AR follow-through
Reconcile ServiceTitan data with accounting software (QuickBooks or equivalent)
Help clean up workflows between operations and accounting to eliminate leaks and errors

Payroll, Commissions & Compliance

Coordinate payroll processing for technicians, apprentices, and staff
Track commissions, after-hours premiums, incentives, deductions, and penalties
Ensure compliance with wage laws, overtime, and company compensation structures
Support benefits tracking and HR coordination as needed
Assist CPA with tax prep, filings, and year-end close

Financial Reporting & Leadership Support

Prepare monthly financial statements and job profitability reports
Deliver clear, actionable reporting to ownership (not accounting jargon)
Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash-flow planning
Track fixed costs, debt obligations, and major project payment schedules
Assist leadership with financial decision-making as the company scales

Controls, Processes & Scale

Strengthen internal controls to protect the company as it grows
Create and document accounting procedures and workflows
Support audits, internal reviews, and clean financial records
Identify inefficiencies, leaks, and process breakdowns-and help fix them
Build systems that scale with the company, not ones that break under growth

Who This Role Is For

Someone who thrives in organized chaos and brings order to it
Someone who understands the trades, job costing, and service businesses
Someone who takes ownership and doesn't need babysitting
Someone who can say "this number looks wrong-and here's why"

Qualifications

3-5+ years accounting or finance experience (construction, plumbing, HVAC, or service trades preferred)
Strong job-cost accounting experience
Experience with payroll, commissions, and variable compensation
Proficiency in accounting software (QuickBooks, ServiceTitan a strong plus)
Extremely detail-oriented, organized, and accountable
Able to communicate clearly with non-financial team members

What We Offer

Competitive compensation based on experience
Direct access to ownership and leadership
A company that values accountability, structure, and performance
Opportunity to grow into a Controller-level role as the company scales
A seat at the table where your work directly impacts outcomes
