Blue Collars LLC

Blue Collars Plumbing & HVAC is seeking a highly organized, detail-driven Accounting & Finance Manager to own the financial backbone of a fast-growing commercial service company.

This role exists to protect margins, tighten controls, support operations, and give ownership real financial clarity—not just reports that sit in a folder. You will work closely with ownership, operations, estimating, and the office team to ensure every dollar, job, and technician is accounted for accurately.

This is a hands-on role suited for someone who understands job costing, service trades, payroll complexity, commissions, and cash-flow timing in the real world—not theory.

• Own day-to-day accounting operations (AP, AR, reconciliations, payroll coordination)
• Maintain a clean, accurate general ledger and chart of accounts
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and internal accounts monthly
• Track and allocate costs by job number, department, and project
• Manage vendor payments, credits, returns, and documentation
• Support material bill-backs, deductions, and employee chargebacks per company policy

• Ensure accurate job costing across service calls, projects, and large commercial work
• Track labor, materials, equipment, rentals, subcontractors, and overhead by job
• Flag margin erosion, cost overruns, and billing gaps early
• Work directly with ownership and operations to explain why margins move—not just that they did
• Assist with change orders, retainage tracking, and progress billing

• Work inside ServiceTitan to support:
  • Job costing accuracy
  • Revenue recognition
  • Payroll and commission tracking
  • Invoicing and AR follow-through
• Reconcile ServiceTitan data with accounting software (QuickBooks or equivalent)
• Help clean up workflows between operations and accounting to eliminate leaks and errors

• Coordinate payroll processing for technicians, apprentices, and staff
• Track commissions, after-hours premiums, incentives, deductions, and penalties
• Ensure compliance with wage laws, overtime, and company compensation structures
• Support benefits tracking and HR coordination as needed
• Assist CPA with tax prep, filings, and year-end close

• Prepare monthly financial statements and job profitability reports
• Deliver clear, actionable reporting to ownership (not accounting jargon)
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash-flow planning
• Track fixed costs, debt obligations, and major project payment schedules
• Assist leadership with financial decision-making as the company scales

• Strengthen internal controls to protect the company as it grows
• Create and document accounting procedures and workflows
• Support audits, internal reviews, and clean financial records
• Identify inefficiencies, leaks, and process breakdowns—and help fix them
• Build systems that scale with the company, not ones that break under growth

• Someone who thrives in organized chaos and brings order to it
• Someone who understands the trades, job costing, and service businesses
• Someone who takes ownership and doesn’t need babysitting
• Someone who can say “this number looks wrong—and here’s why”

• 3–5+ years accounting or finance experience (construction, plumbing, HVAC, or service trades preferred)
• Strong job-cost accounting experience
• Experience with payroll, commissions, and variable compensation
• Proficiency in accounting software (QuickBooks, ServiceTitan a strong plus)
• Extremely detail-oriented, organized, and accountable
• Able to communicate clearly with non-financial team members
