Accounting & Admin Support

Our client is a US-based pipeline construction and environmental services company that supports infrastructure and emergency-response projects across the United States. As they grow, they need a detail-oriented Accounting & Administrative Support professional to provide hands-on help across two core functions: accounting operations and day-to-day administrative coordination. This is a hybrid-function role — someone equally comfortable with numbers and with paperwork. On the accounting side, the primary focus is payroll calculations and supporting the broader accounting function. On the administrative side, you'll handle the operational and organizational work that keeps a busy contractor running. The person who thrives here is dependable, accurate, and able to shift seamlessly between accounting support and administrative responsibilities throughout the day. You'll work directly alongside the owner and accounting team in a fully remote, async-friendly environment. The work is meaningful: in a field-services business, payroll accuracy and timely vendor coordination directly affect crews getting paid correctly and projects staying on schedule. Within your first 90 days, success means payroll inputs you've verified flow through cleanly, AP/AR is current and well-documented, and the team relies on you to catch errors before they reach finalization.
