Paul Davis of West L.A is seeking a highly capable Finance/Admin Manager to stabilize and run the operational and financial backbone of our restoration business.
This role owns job costing, QuickBooks, office operations, A/R, A/P, payroll coordination, and systems management. You will work directly with ownership and play a critical role in restoring order, accuracy, and predictability.
This is not a traditional “office admin” role.
This person acts as:
· The operational backbone of the company
· The financial gatekeeper for job costing and cash flow
· The systems owner for RMS, QuickBooks, payroll, and reporting
· The calm center for customers, staff, and ownership
If you thrive in complexity, can build systems while running them, and take pride in accuracy and follow-through, this role is for you.

Within the first 90 days, this person will:
· Ensure accurate job costing on 100% of jobs
· Maintain clean, current QuickBooks and RMS data
· Improve cash flow visibility and A/R follow-up

WHO YOU ARE (THIS MATTERS)

· Systems-minded and technologically fluent
· Comfortable in a startup-like environment with imperfect systems
· Able to say “this isn’t working” and help fix it
· Empathetic with customers, firm with numbers
You do not need hand-holding.
