    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.

    CORE OUTCOMES (WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE)

    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

    · Reduce owner involvement in day-to-day operations

    · Maintain financial integrity and audit readiness

    1. Office & Systems Management

    · Manage daily office operations and workflows

    · Serve as the systems owner for RMS, QuickBooks, payroll, and reporting

    · Ensure data accuracy across all platforms

    · Improve and document processes as the company scales

    · Step in as acting operations lead when ownership is unavailable

    1. Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable

    · Process A/P and A/R with urgency and accuracy

    · Track outstanding invoices and follow up consistently

    · Support collections while maintaining strong customer relationships

    · Coordinate with insurance carriers and adjusters as needed

    1. Customer & Stakeholder Communication

    · Serve as a professional, empathetic point of contact for customers

    · Communicate with insurance carriers, adjusters, vendors, and subcontractors

    · Maintain urgency and compassion during customer interactions

    · Represent the Paul Davis brand with professionalism and care

    1. Payroll & HR Coordination

    · Enter and verify timesheets

    · Process payroll accurately and on time

    · Act as liaison with HR provider

    · Maintain employee records and compliance documentation

    · Track and verify subcontractor insurance and safety certifications

    WHO YOU ARE (THIS MATTERS)

    You are:

    · Organized, grounded, and unflappable

    · Financially literate — debits, credits, job costing make sense to you

    · 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. You do need ownership and accountability.

    · Performance-based bonus opportunities

    · Paid training and professional development

    · Leadership development opportunities

    · Supportive, mission-driven culture

    · PTO and Paid Holidays

    WHO THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR

    · Someone early in their career
