About the Role

You’ll work closely with ownership and our operations team to maintain accurate financial records, manage customer billing, organize lease documents, and process rental and sales orders.

• Ensure billing reflects rental start dates, returns, rate changes, and customer agreements.
• Maintain organized customer files, including lease agreements, rental and sales orders, invoices, and supporting documents.
• Track signed lease documents, follow up on missing paperwork, and keep complete, up-to-date records for each customer.
• Record customer payments, deposits, credits, and refunds accurately.
• Monitor overdue accounts and follow up professionally on outstanding balances.
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and customer accounts.
• Review vendor invoices, resolve discrepancies, and prepare payments for approval.
• Submit invoices and supporting documentation through customer payment portals when required.
• Support month-end close and prepare financial reports for ownership.
• Coordinate with our outside accountant on reporting, tax preparation, and year-end records.
• Identify opportunities to improve bookkeeping, billing, and document management processes.

Qualifications

• At least 3 years of hands-on bookkeeping experience preferred.
• Strong understanding of accounts payable, accounts receivable, and account reconciliation.
• Experience with accounting software and Microsoft Excel.
• Excellent attention to detail, organization, and follow-through.
• Ability to manage recurring billing, customer documentation, and multiple priorities.
• Clear, professional communication with customers, vendors, and coworkers.
• Ability to handle confidential financial information with discretion.
• Experience in equipment rental, construction, trucking, or a similar industry is a plus.
• Familiarity with RMI Advantage 365 or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a plus.

What We’re Looking For

Someone who keeps accurate books and organized customer files, stays ahead of billing issues, and gives ownership a clear picture of what has been collected, what is owed, and what needs attention. We value reliability, accountability, and practical problem-solving.
