Full charge bookkeeper

Behind every lush living wall and vibrant landscape installation is a rock-solid engine powering the numbers. We are a long-standing, premier commercial and residential interior plantscaping and landscape design firm based in Jacksonville, FL. For decades, we've transformed corporate offices, luxury hotels, and private residences into thriving green sanctuaries. While our design and technician teams work magic with greenery, we need a sharp, methodical, and independent Full Charge Bookkeeper to anchor our internal financial operations.

You won't be chasing client payments. We have a dedicated Accounts Receivable Specialist who manages client billing and collections. Your mission? Own the core financial engine-from general ledger integrity and job costing to wholesale nursery AP, payroll, and Florida tax compliance.

If you love clean books, hate chaos, and want to play a key role in a steady, highly respected local business, this is your soil to grow in.

• Experience: 4+ years of hands-on experience as a Full Charge Bookkeeper or Senior Bookkeeper.
• Software Mastery: Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Online and Excel (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables). Experience with field service software (like Aspire, LMN, or Jobber) is a major plus!
• Industry Knowledge: Background in trades, landscaping, construction, nursery operations, or inventory-based service industries highly preferred.
• Florida Tax Savvy: Solid understanding of Florida sales tax rules regarding service agreements vs. tangible goods sales.
• Mindset: Highly organized, detail-obsessed, and able to work independently with complete accountability.

Important to note about supplemental insurance: Dental and Vision coverage options (Please note: Medical insurance is not offered).
