• Track Tiago's material and supply purchases for cabinet operations, collect receipts, and allocate each purchase to the correct job.

• Maintain organized, up-to-date records in the company's accounting software, including the customer, vendor, and job lists.
• Prepare weekly AR aging, AP, and job cost summaries for Lucas and Tiago.
• Support Jennifer with payroll-related records and documentation as needed to keep financial information consistent.
• Collect and maintain vendor W-9s, builder documentation, and certificates of insurance, and support year-end and tax preparation with the company's outside accountant.
• Identify gaps in invoicing, purchasing, and job tracking processes, and recommend simple systems that improve accuracy as the company grows.

COMPETENCIES

• Highly detail-oriented, with a strong commitment to accuracy in every number and record.
