About VizzaLights

VizzaLights is a growing permanent exterior lighting company serving residential and commercial customers. As a startup with ambitious plans for expansion, we are looking for an experienced Full-Charge Bookkeeper to help us build a strong financial foundation from the beginning.

This is not simply a transactional bookkeeping position. We need someone who can create and maintain accurate books while also developing the financial policies, procedures, controls, and reporting systems needed to help a growing company succeed.

What You'll Do

• Create and manage full-cycle bookkeeping, including A/P, A/R, general ledger, bank and credit card reconciliations, customer deposits, vendor payments, and month-end close

• Develop and document accounting policies and procedures

• Establish internal financial controls, approval processes, and documentation standards

• Prepare P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, A/R, A/P, and other management reports

• Assist ownership with budgeting, cash-flow forecasting, expense management, and financial planning

• Develop job-costing systems to track materials, labor, commissions, project costs, gross profit, and installation profitability

• Coordinate bookkeeping and payroll-related records with ADP , our payroll provider

• Maintain organized records for sales tax, 1099s, W-9s, insurance audits, and other compliance needs

• Work with the company's CPA to prepare accurate records for tax filings and year-end reporting

• Help organize financial information across accounting, banking, CRM, payroll, and document-management systems

• Identify financial or operational weaknesses and recommend practical solutions

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of bookkeeping/accounting experience preferred

• Full-Charge Bookkeeper experience strongly preferred

• Strong knowledge of QuickBooks Online or similar accounting software

• Experience with financial reporting, reconciliations, budgeting, and cash-flow management

• Strong Excel and/or Google Sheets skills

• Experience developing or improving accounting procedures and internal controls

• Exceptional attention to detail and organization

• Ability to work independently and communicate financial information clearly

• High level of discretion with confidential financial information

Startup, construction, home-service, installation, or rapidly growing small-business experience is highly desirable. Experience working with ADP is a plus.

The Right Person

We're looking for someone who is proactive, organized, systems-oriented, and comfortable building processes from the ground up.

You should be able to look at a growing business and confidently say:

“Here's what we need to put in place, and here's how we should do it.”

As VizzaLights grows, this position has the potential to develop into broader accounting and financial leadership responsibilities.

To Apply

Please submit your resume and briefly describe your experience with full-cycle bookkeeping and creating or improving financial policies, procedures, or accounting systems for a business.
