What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounting Specialist/Bookkeeper position at Viking Ready Mix?
The person in this full time position will have the advantage of being able to work alongside experienced staff that will train on many of the duties involved in this position. The job involves many aspects of accounts payable, accounts receivable, support for payroll and general bookkeeping.. Bookkeeping is primarily managed in QuickBooks, and we also use spreadsheets and pull information from the software that runs our plant. Customer service skills are also needed for when the phone rolls over to this desk. Some cross training in taking concrete orders and helping customers is important to ensure customers' needs are handled when someone is out of the office and phones get busy, but this will not be a major factor since there are three other personnel whose primary jobs are to handle these calls. Bookkeeping experience is required. An accounting or business degree is preferable. Benefits include medical insurance where the employer pays half or more of the premium depending on what plan is chosen and group rates for dental, vision, disability, and life insurance. Company also provides a basic life insurance policy. Vacation and holiday pay are also offered.
