Job Description, Responsibilities & Requirements
About the Position
Yellowstone Local is hiring on behalf of our client, a growing residential plumbing and HVAC company, for an experienced Full Charge Bookkeeper to run the day-to-day accounting and financial operations of the business in Manila, Philippines.
This isn't a clerk's seat. It's a full back-office leadership seat with a bookkeeper's title on it. The owner is hiring this seat because he wants somebody who can actually run the books, not somebody who processes transactions while the real accounting work happens at the CPA at year-end.
We're looking for a highly engaged bookkeeper.
Responsibilities
- Manage full-cycle bookkeeping, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger
- Perform monthly bank, credit card, and balance sheet reconciliations
- Process payroll, including technician commissions, overtime, and benefits deductions
- Prepare and file sales tax returns and 1099s
- Own month-end close on a consistent schedule with a documented checklist
- Prepare monthly financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) that the owner can read and act on
- Set up and maintain job costing for service tickets and installation projects, so the owner can see actual margin by tech, by job type, and by service line
- Manage AR aging, invoicing, and collections coordination with the office team
- Coordinate with the company's outside CPA at year-end. Hand them clean books so tax filing is fast and clean.
- Support workers’ compensation, general liability, and insurance audits
- Maintain organized financial records and documentation
- Flag cash flow issues, vendor pricing drift, margin compression, and other financial signals to the owner early
- Document processes so the back office runs as a system, not a person
Requirements
- 5+ years of full-charge bookkeeping experience
- Experience in a trades, construction, or service-based business preferred
- Strong proficiency in QuickBooks Online
- Experience with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or similar trades dispatch software a plus
- Solid understanding of job costing in a service or project-based environment
- Experience with payroll processing, sales tax filings, and 1099 preparation
- Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, formulas, basic reporting)
- High level of accuracy and attention to detail
- Professional written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work independently and manage deadlines without supervision
- Trustworthy, dependable, and comfortable handling sensitive financial information
- Able to pass a background check
We Offer
- $6 - $8 per hour
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Steady, full-time, year-round work
- Professional development support
- Supportive leadership and team environment
