Senior Bookkeeper and Accountant

Jordan Disposal is seeking an experienced Senior Bookkeeper / Accountant to take responsibility for the day-to-day accounting and financial reporting of our growing waste and roll-off operations.

The position will be based at the Redline Contractors office in Springdale, where Jordan Disposal shares administrative and management resources.

We are not looking for a CFO. We are looking for an experienced accounting professional who can take ownership of the company’s books, ensure the numbers are accurate and timely, and provide management with clear financial information to help operate the business.

* Analyze operating costs, margins and financial trends

* Improve accounting procedures and internal controls

* Maintain clean and well-organized financial records

* Coordinate with the company’s external CPA for tax preparation, year-end reporting and other accounting matters

* Assist management with financial information and special projects as required

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will have strong practical accounting experience and be comfortable working in a privately owned, operational business where accuracy, organization and common sense are important.

Required Qualifications:

* 5+ years of bookkeeping, accounting or related experience

* Strong QuickBooks experience

* Experience preparing monthly financial statements and completing month-end close

* Strong understanding of general ledger accounting and balance-sheet reconciliations

* Experience with AP, AR, payroll and fixed assets

Preferred Qualifications:

* Experience in waste management, trucking, construction, heavy equipment, demolition or another operational/service business would be particularly valuable.

This position would suit an experienced bookkeeper who is ready to move into a broader accounting role, or an accountant who enjoys being hands-on with the day-to-day financial operations of a business. We are looking for someone who will take ownership of the accounting function, not simply enter transactions.

This position is responsible primarily for the accounting of Jordan Disposal LLC but will work from the Redline Contractors office in Springdale, Arkansas alongside the companies’ administrative and management team.
