This opening would start on a part-time basis as the selected candidate works to learn from the current office manager who is on a retirement track. It's likely that the long-term role would end up requiring full-time hours or something closer to full-time; this will develop over time as the situation progresses. The role itself will handle such functions as
- payroll
- HR
- A/P and A/R
- bank reconciliations
Because there is time for training, our client is flexible on considering a candidate with solid office skills who can be trained on the accounting and HR-related parts of the job, so it could be a fantastic career move especially for someone who at least has familiarity with construction or union trades. However, our client is also not opposed to finding an experienced office manager who could be considered at the top of the pay scale and make a quicker transition into the role. Either way, some knowledge of QuickBooks and general clerical functions is a basic requirement for consideration, along with the desire to be part of a small office team.
