- Maintain organized financial files and administrative records to ensure documentation is complete, accessible, and audit-ready.

- Provide general office support for a small team, helping manage routine administrative needs and ensuring daily operations run smoothly.

- Deliver billing paperwork to local escrow offices when needed and track time-sensitive documents to help meet deadlines.

- Adapt to accounting software tools and support evolving processes or system-related changes as business needs develop. Requirements - At least 2 years of experience in accounts payable, invoice processing, or accounting support.

- Hands-on knowledge of accounts payable functions such as invoice coding, account coding, ACH processing, check runs, and billing support.

- Background in construction, real estate, escrow, or a similarly detail-driven environment is strongly preferred.

- Ability to work onsite in Bellevue, Washington initially, with reliable attendance during standard Monday through Friday business hours.

- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities accurately and efficiently.

- Comfortable communicating with vendors, responding to billing or purchase-order inquiries, and working closely with internal stakeholders.
