Full Charge Bookkeeper

Yellowstone Local on behalf of our client • Residential Plumbing & HVAC • Richardson, Texas • $6-$8/hour

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.

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.

Who we're looking for

If you don't know what "highly engaged" means, you're probably not it. If you do, you already feel the difference between you and most of the bookkeepers you've worked alongside.

A highly engaged bookkeeper takes pride in clean books the way a great tech takes pride in a clean install. She owns the close. She closes on time, every month, because the deadline is the deadline. She doesn't wait for somebody to ask; she brings the variance to the owner before he can spot it. She reads the P&L like a story and can tell you what's changing and why.

She's curious about the business. She wants to know why a service call costs what it costs, why one tech's margin is different than another's, and why the parts vendor is creeping. She's not just processing transactions; she's thinking.

She communicates up. She flags problems early, with options, not just "here's a problem." She makes the owner's job easier by giving him a numbers picture he can actually act on.

She doesn't need somebody standing over her. The work itself is the standard. If it's not right, she fixes it. If it can be better, she builds the system to make it better.

If that's you, keep reading.

What We Value in This Seat

Obsession with clean books. You reconcile to the penny. You don't let unexplained variances slide. You don't close the month with "we'll figure that out later" sitting on the books

Ownership of the close. You own the calendar. You hit the deadline. You don't need somebody chasing you for it.

Job costing instincts. You understand that in a trades business, "Did we make money on that job?" is the most important question we ask. You build the structure that lets us answer it.

Proactive communication. You don't sit on bad news. You bring problems to the owner with options, early. You don't wait until it's a crisis.

Process and system mindset. You document. You automate. You build the system so the next person can step in.

Low ego, high ownership. When something gets missed, you own it. You don't blame the tech, the office manager, or the dispatcher. You fix it, and you build the system that prevents it next time.
