Job description

Role Overview

Blue Collars Plumbing & HVAC is seeking a highly organized, detail-driven Accounting & Finance Manager to own the financial backbone of a fast-growing commercial service company.

This role exists to protect margins, tighten controls, support operations, and give ownership real financial clarity—not just reports that sit in a folder. You will work closely with ownership, operations, estimating, and the office team to ensure every dollar, job, and technician is accounted for accurately.

This is a hands-on role suited for someone who understands job costing, service trades, payroll complexity, commissions, and cash-flow timing in the real world—not theory.

Core Responsibilities

Accounting & Financial Operations

  • Own day-to-day accounting operations (AP, AR, reconciliations, payroll coordination)
  • Maintain a clean, accurate general ledger and chart of accounts
  • Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and internal accounts monthly
  • Track and allocate costs by job number, department, and project
  • Manage vendor payments, credits, returns, and documentation
  • Support material bill-backs, deductions, and employee chargebacks per company policy

Job Costing & Margin Control

  • Ensure accurate job costing across service calls, projects, and large commercial work
  • Track labor, materials, equipment, rentals, subcontractors, and overhead by job
  • Flag margin erosion, cost overruns, and billing gaps early
  • Work directly with ownership and operations to explain why margins move—not just that they did
  • Assist with change orders, retainage tracking, and progress billing

ServiceTitan & System Integration

  • Work inside ServiceTitan to support:
    • Job costing accuracy
    • Revenue recognition
    • Payroll and commission tracking
    • Invoicing and AR follow-through
  • Reconcile ServiceTitan data with accounting software (QuickBooks or equivalent)
  • Help clean up workflows between operations and accounting to eliminate leaks and errors

Payroll, Commissions & Compliance

  • Coordinate payroll processing for technicians, apprentices, and staff
  • Track commissions, after-hours premiums, incentives, deductions, and penalties
  • Ensure compliance with wage laws, overtime, and company compensation structures
  • Support benefits tracking and HR coordination as needed
  • Assist CPA with tax prep, filings, and year-end close

Financial Reporting & Leadership Support

  • Prepare monthly financial statements and job profitability reports
  • Deliver clear, actionable reporting to ownership (not accounting jargon)
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash-flow planning
  • Track fixed costs, debt obligations, and major project payment schedules
  • Assist leadership with financial decision-making as the company scales

Controls, Processes & Scale

  • Strengthen internal controls to protect the company as it grows
  • Create and document accounting procedures and workflows
  • Support audits, internal reviews, and clean financial records
  • Identify inefficiencies, leaks, and process breakdowns—and help fix them
  • Build systems that scale with the company, not ones that break under growth

Who This Role Is For

  • Someone who thrives in organized chaos and brings order to it
  • Someone who understands the trades, job costing, and service businesses
  • Someone who takes ownership and doesn't need babysitting
  • Someone who can say “this number looks wrong—and here's why”

Qualifications

  • 3–5+ years accounting or finance experience (construction, plumbing, HVAC, or service trades preferred)
  • Strong job-cost accounting experience
  • Experience with payroll, commissions, and variable compensation
  • Proficiency in accounting software (QuickBooks, ServiceTitan a strong plus)
  • Extremely detail-oriented, organized, and accountable
  • Able to communicate clearly with non-financial team members

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation based on experience
  • Direct access to ownership and leadership
  • A company that values accountability, structure, and performance
  • Opportunity to grow into a Controller-level role as the company scales
  • A seat at the table where your work directly impacts outcomes
