About the Opportunity
Reed Restaurant Repair is a premier commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and kitchen equipment repair provider serving the thriving Denver area restaurant industry. While our elite team of field technicians is out keeping commercial kitchens humming, our office infrastructure is the backbone that keeps the entire operation moving forward.
We are seeking an assertive, highly organized, and data-driven Full Charge Bookkeeper to take absolute ownership of our day-to-day financial workflows, drive our accounts receivable lifecycle, and bring our multi-jurisdictional sales tax processes completely in-house.
This isn't a passive data-entry job. We want a high-level numbers professional and a true proactive self-starter who takes initiative, builds clean systems, and takes pride in flawless books. If you thrive in an independent, high-impact role where your efficiency directly influences company growth--and you want a stable, respected position with your own private office space--we want to talk to you.
What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)
- Drive Accounts Receivable (Primary Focus): Oversee the complete AR lifecycle, handling high-volume customer invoicing, time-tracking logs for accurate project billing, and proactive collections.
- Sales Tax Management & Filing: Take ownership of tracking, calculating, and filing sales tax across approximately 128 Colorado tax jurisdictions. You will manage compliance, utilize state filing portals (including SUTS), and ensure accuracy across complex localized tax rules.
- Payroll & Benefits Administration: Flawlessly execute employee payroll processing, handle payroll deductions, manage the onboarding paperwork for company health/benefits packages, and track internal company PTO tracking.
- Ledger Reconciliations: Conduct regular account and ledger reconciliations to ensure company financials and employee credit card sub-accounts are completely tight, clean, and audit-ready.
- Proactive Financial Reporting: Utilize your advanced spreadsheet skills to independently organize, analyze, and present clear financial data and operational metrics to leadership without needing to be asked.
- Process & Efficiency Champion: Actively audit office workflows, spot operational bottlenecks, identify opportunities to save company time, and confidently present and implement streamlined solutions.
- Critical Operational Tracking: Manage essential logistics including technician uniform inventory/ordering, updating commercial fleet vehicle tags, and maintaining company key tracking systems.
- Data Discretion: Handle highly sensitive corporate financial data and employee personnel records with the highest level of professionalism and confidentiality.
What You Bring to the Table (Qualifications)
- Core Accounting Experience: Minimum of 3+ years of proven experience in full-charge bookkeeping, high-volume accounts receivable (AR), and accounts payable (AP).
- Colorado Sales Tax Expertise: Proven, hands-on experience navigating multi-jurisdictional Colorado sales tax compliance, including familiarity with Home-Rule city rules and the Colorado SUTS (Sales and Use Tax System) portal.
- Ledger Cleanup Skills: Ability to look at messy chart-of-accounts data, trace misapplied balances, and cleanly manage/merge employee credit card sub-accounts within a parent ledger.
- Payroll & Basic Benefits Knowledge: Hands-on experience accurately processing employee payroll, making payroll adjustments, and handling basic employee benefits enrollment paperwork.
- Tech & Software Proficiency: Deep experience navigating QuickBooks and total proficiency in Google Suite (Google Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Drive).
- Spreadsheet Master: Advanced ability to build, maintain, and present clean, data-driven spreadsheets to leadership proactively.
- Industry Experience (Huge Plus): Prior experience working within a service, trades, commercial repair, or construction company is highly preferred. You understand the fast-paced nature of dispatching and technical billing.
- Proactive Mindset: You don't wait for instruction. You are a self-starter who actively looks for ways to increase office efficiency and optimize processes.
- Extreme Attention to Detail: You take immense pride in accuracy, whether you are reconciling a complex account, auditing tech time cards, or tracking fleet vehicle registrations.
- Strong Judgment: Comfortable working independently, managing your side of the office autonomously, and handling sensitive situations with total discretion.
