Position Overview

The Office Manager is responsible for overseeing office operations, supervising administrative and accounting staff, and supporting leadership through accurate reporting, compliance tracking, and operational execution.

Systems & Technology

  • Utilize and maintain office systems, including industry-specific accounting software and POS platforms
  • Learn new systems quickly and assist with training others

  • Accounting or bookkeeping background strongly preferred
  • Hands-on experience overseeing AP/AR functions
  • Strong attention to detail and comfort working with numbers
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Some supervisory or lead experience with a team-oriented mindset
  • Strong computer skills and comfort learning new software
  • Excellent communication skills and professional judgment

 

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

  • Exposure to payroll processes
  • Light HR or administrative support experience
  • Experience in a service-based or multi-department environment
  • Bilingual (Spanish/English) is acceptable but not required

 

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Collaborative, respectful leader who values teamwork
