  • Track contracts, POs, and corporate governance records 

  • Run payroll (26 cycles/year), benefits administration, and 401(k) compliance 

  • Manage hiring, onboarding, and HR administration 

  • Prepare monthly financial reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) 

  • Handle tax filings, multi-state compliance, and CPA coordination 

  • Maintain insurance coverage, fixed assets, and facility safety compliance 

Requirements: 

  • 5+ years of bookkeeping, payroll, and/or office management experience 

  • Proficiency in Excel and QuickBooks Online; payroll platform experience (Paychex preferred) 

  • Comfortable using AI tools in daily work and have problem solving skills

  • Knowledge of multi-state business filings, 1099s, and W-2 processing 

  • Experience administering employee benefits and 401(k) plans 

This is a hands-on role for someone who wants real ownership of a company's day-to-day operations and finances.
