This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys the rhythm of a design studio, thrives on structure and accuracy, and takes pride in managing the financial details that keep a creative team running efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

Oversee invoicing, billing cycles, and payment collections for all client projects.

Collaborate with vendors to set payment schedules and confirm contract terms.

Maintain organized digital filing systems for reimbursements, bonuses, credits, and financial adjustments.

Accounting, Compliance & Reporting

Complete monthly bank and credit‑card reconciliations.

Deliver timely financial reports (P&L, Balance Sheet, project‑level P&Ls) within five business days of month‑end.

Maintain and organize sales‑tax support documentation, including FF&E sales details and exemption certificates; reconcile data for CPA filings.

Process 1099 contractor payments, monitor timesheets, and support employee hour tracking in collaboration with the Executive Director, Project Coordinator, and HR.

Systems & Process Improvement

Support the transition from FreshBooks to QuickBooks, including data cleanup and coordination with the AFSG consulting team under the direction of the Executive Director and external CPAs.

Partner with the Project Coordinator to integrate billing triggers into Asana project milestones and formalize this into a documented SOP.

Document new finance workflows and assist in training relevant staff (written SOPs and/or short training videos).

Create a cross‑training plan to ensure continuity of accounting functions during PTO or emergency absences.

Strategic Finance Support

Provide concise monthly financial snapshots (e.g., invoice turnaround times, aged receivables, margin flags) to the Executive Director and CEO.

Develop profitability‑analysis reports by client, project, and phase to evaluate margin health and recommend adjustments to pricing or workflows.

Maintain a rolling 12‑week cash‑flow outlook by comparing scheduled receivables to upcoming payables, and alert leadership of projected surpluses or shortfalls.

What You’ll Bring

3 years of experience in bookkeeping, accounting, or finance coordination.

Required: experience in an interior design firm or closely related project‑based industry (architecture, construction, FF&E procurement, or similar).

Hands‑on experience with QuickBooks (experience working across multiple systems or supporting a migration is a plus).

Comfort working with sales tax documentation and 1099 contractor payments.
