Professional Contractor information

What is a professional contractor?

Professional contractors are individuals or companies hired to perform specific tasks or projects, often in fields like construction, renovation, IT, or consulting. They typically operate independently, rather than as employees, and are responsible for completing work according to a contract's terms. Contractors bring specialized skills and are usually engaged for a set period or until a project is finished. They manage their own taxes, insurance, and business expenses, offering flexibility to both themselves and the clients who hire them.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a professional contractor?

To thrive as a Professional Contractor, you need a solid understanding of construction practices, project management, and relevant building codes, typically supported by licensure or certification in your trade. Familiarity with tools such as project management software, estimating programs, and safety systems is essential for efficient operations. Strong communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills set top contractors apart when coordinating teams and client expectations. These skills ensure projects are completed safely, on time, within budget, and to client satisfaction.

What are some common challenges professional contractors face when managing multiple projects simultaneously?

Professional contractors often juggle several projects at once, which can present challenges such as balancing competing deadlines, coordinating with diverse teams, and ensuring consistent quality across sites. Effective time management, clear communication, and strong organizational skills are essential to stay on track. Contractors typically rely on project management tools and frequent check-ins with clients and subcontractors to address issues quickly and keep projects moving forward smoothly.

Job description

Position Summary

The Bookkeeper / Office Support is a dual-function role that keeps the financial and administrative engine of Contractor General running accurately and efficiently. On the bookkeeping side, this person owns day-to-day financial recordkeeping — AP/AR, reconciliations, financial reporting, and supporting tax and audit preparation. On the office support side, they are the operational backbone of the branch office — handling customer-facing interactions, processing invoices and receipts, and making sure the administrative side of the business stays organized and professional.

Contractor General is a company in build mode. This role requires flexibility, a willingness to pitch in where needed, and comfort operating without a fully defined playbook. The right person is detail-oriented, trustworthy with confidential information, and brings a customer-first attitude to everything they do.

  • Prepare financial statements, income and expenditure reports, and accounting summaries for management review
  • Draw up the trial balance and year-end balance sheet
  • Calculate and assist with tax preparation; stay current on applicable state and federal financial regulations
  • Assist with audit preparation and provide supporting documentation as needed
  • Maintain and secure all financial records — current and historical — in an organized and confidential manner
  • Manage the petty cash fund, including tracking disbursements and replenishment

Office Operations & Customer Service

  • Process sales invoices, receipts, and returns accurately and in a timely manner
  • Handle customer inquiries and complaints promptly and professionally, representing Contractor General in a positive and caring manner
  • Maintain customer confidence by keeping service and financial information appropriately confidential
  • Order and maintain office supplies inventory
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and professional work environment
  • Participate in ongoing training and professional development to stay current with relevant tools, regulations, and best practices

Other Duties

  • Support the General Manager and broader team with administrative tasks, special projects, and operational needs as the business grows and evolves
  • Other duties as assigned — we are building something here, and everyone on the team pitches in
Qualifications

Required

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • 2+ years of experience in bookkeeping, office administration, or a similar role
  • Proficiency with bookkeeping or accounting software (QuickBooks or similar)
  • Strong working knowledge of Google Workspace, particularly Google Sheets
  • Solid understanding of basic accounting principles and financial recordkeeping
  • High degree of accuracy, attention to detail, and organizational ability
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a customer-first attitude
  • Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Preferred

  • Associate's degree in Accounting, Business, or a related field
  • Experience in construction supply, building materials, or a trade-based business
  • Familiarity with accounts payable and receivable in a product distribution or manufacturing environment
  • Experience supporting HR or personnel administration functions
