Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, operations, and other teams to ensure billing accuracy and provide financial insights.

Identify and implement process improvements and technology enhancements for greater efficiency.

Contribute to budgeting, forecasting, and other strategic initiatives as the company continues to expand.

Qualifications

Prior supervisory or team lead experience strongly preferred.

Proficiency with accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Odoo, or similar) and advanced Excel skills.

Detail‑oriented with excellent organizational, problem‑solving, and communication abilities.

Experience in service, logistics, distribution, or operations‑heavy industries is a plus.

Strong cultural fit: mature, hardworking, accountable, and comfortable in a young, dynamic, in‑office environment.

Must be based in the Detroit metro area and fully committed to in‑office work in Farmington.

What We Offer

Competitive base salary (range to be discussed based on experience).

Full benefits package: Blue Cross Blue Shield medical, dental, 401k with 3-7% match (based on tenure/role), PTO, and holidays.
