ACCOUNTING & ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR

HR Consulting Solutions is a full-service human resources consulting and executive search firm that has been retained by Housman Partners to conduct a search for an experienced Accounting & Administrative Coordinator to join their team in Paducah, Kentucky.

JOIN ONE OF WESTERN KENTUCKY'S MOST INNOVATIVE REAL ESTATE ORGANIZATIONS

Housman Partners is a growing, locally owned real estate organization with multiple business entities and a strong presence throughout Western Kentucky. Built on professionalism, responsiveness, innovation, and exceptional service, the organization has continued to grow while maintaining the personal, entrepreneurial culture of a locally operated business.

As Housman Partners continues to expand, we’re looking for a highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented Accounting & Administrative Coordinator to become an integral part of the team. This is not a traditional accountant position. Instead, it’s a hands-on role for someone who enjoys keeping the financial and administrative side of a business organized and running smoothly. The successful candidate will support day-to-day bookkeeping and accounting functions while also assisting with real estate transaction compliance, escrow administration, payroll coordination, and light property management responsibilities.

If you’re someone who loves organization, catches the details others miss, takes ownership of your work, and enjoys having variety in your day, this could be an excellent opportunity.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Accounting & Administrative Coordinator will report to the Director of Operations and provide accounting and administrative support for Housman Partners and its affiliated business entities.

The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining accurate financial records, processing accounts payable and receivable, reconciling accounts, assisting with financial reporting, coordinating routine payroll administration, reviewing real estate transaction documentation for compliance, maintaining escrow records, and supporting limited property management activities. Housman Partners utilizes outside professional partners for specialized accounting and payroll functions, allowing this position to focus primarily on the day-to-day financial, bookkeeping, compliance, and administrative needs of the organization.

No two days will look exactly the same. We’re searching for someone who is comfortable moving between accounting responsibilities and administrative projects, who doesn’t need to be told every next step, and who takes pride in making sure things are completed accurately and on time. Real estate experience would be beneficial, but it is not required. The right candidate will have a solid foundation in bookkeeping or accounting support, proficiency with QuickBooks, excellent attention to detail and organizational skills, and the ability and willingness to learn the real estate-specific components of the position.
