Executive Assistant & Accounting Support

Executive Assistant & Accounting Support

O'Mally Management Group has partnered with Palko & Associates to recruit an Executive Assistant & Accounting Support professional for a direct-hire opportunity in Crosby, Texas.

Reporting directly to the Owner/Managing Partner, this individual will serve as a trusted second chairproviding the administrative, operational and developing accounting support that allows leadership to remain focused on higher-level priorities.

This role is designed for someone who finds satisfaction in making another person and the larger team more effective. The right person notices unfinished details, follows up without repeated reminders, anticipates routine needs and willingly handles both significant assignments and the small, sometimes tedious tasks that keep an office running smoothly.

The position will initially focus heavily on administrative support, organization and follow-through. As the employee learns the businesses, establishes trust and demonstrates accuracy, the role will grow into greater ownership of QuickBooks processes, reconciliations and other accounting responsibilities.

This is not a position for someone who needs every day to look the same or every assignment to feel "high level." It is an opportunity to become an indispensable partner by learning what can be taken off leadership's plate and gradually assuming responsibility for it.

This is a professional business position and includes no household or domestic responsibilities.
