**Controller/Bookkeeper**

**Are you ready to be part of something amazing?**

**Own the Numbers. Guard the Cash. Be Indispensable.**

At **Innovative Flooring**, we’re not just flooring experts; we’re innovators on a mission to redefine the industry. We’re growing fast and looking for a **seasoned, ultra-organized Bookkeeper/Controller** to fully _own_ our financial function.

This isn’t just about tracking numbers. It’s about **taking full control** of the books, chasing money like it’s your own, and building clean, reliable systems. We want someone who brings structure, initiative, and accountability to everything they touch.

If you’re a **self-starter with a thick skin**, love precision, and aren’t afraid to chase down payments or flag billing issues, you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

**What You’ll Own (Because You’ll Truly Own It)**:

- **Full-cycle bookkeeping**: A/P, A/R, payroll, journal entries, and reconciliations
- **Collections & cashflow control**: Follow up firmly and professionally with clients. You know how to walk the line—**friendly, courteous, and respectful, yet persistent and unwavering when it comes to collecting what’s owed**:

- **Job costing & construction financials**: Track project budgets, support estimating, and ensure job profitability
- **Reporting & forecasting**: Generate cash flow reports, budget-to-actuals, and financial insights for leadership
- **Tax and compliance**: Handle government filings, remittances, and keep clean, audit-ready records
- **Independently manage your workflows**: Prioritize, organize, and complete your work without hand-holding

**What You Bring to the Table**:

- **Construction or trades experience is a must**—you understand the financials behind job costing and project-based work
- **5+ years of bookkeeping experience required** (_10+ strongly preferred_)
- A **strong, assertive personality**: You follow up on invoices relentlessly and don’t shy away from tough conversations
- **Self-starter** who thrives working independently with mínimal direction
- **Highly organized and detail-focused**, with a mindset of full ownership over your domain
- Experience with **QuickBooks Online** preferred
- Familiarity with **JobTread** is a bonus; willingness to learn is essential
- You treat company money like your own—vigilant, firm, and accurate
- You balance being **friendly and kind** with being firm and direct—clients respect you because you communicate clearly, maintain professionalism, and always follow through
- You’ve earned the trust and praise of previous employers (we _will_ call them)

**What Others Say About You**:

- “They don’t miss a thing. If there’s a number off—even by a cent—they’ll catch it.”
- “Once they take something on, we don’t have to worry about it again. It gets done—right and on time.”
- “I only have to say it once—and I know I don’t have to think about it again. It _will_ get done.”
- “They treat the company’s money like it’s their own—relentless with collections, and always professional.”
- “They work independently, but you’d think they were everywhere at once. Total command of their role.”
- “They’re firm but fair—**friendly and professional**, never aggressive, but they _always_ get the money in.”
- “One of the most organized people I’ve ever worked with. Our books have never been cleaner.”
- “They’re a pro. Period. They just _know what they’re doing_ and make everyone else’s job easier.”
