About Us

At Dexterity, we provide full-service office management for over 30 fantastic local and remote companies. We aren't a massive corporate machine—we are a tight-knit, fast-paced team that acts as the operational backbone for our clients.

We are looking for an organized, detail-driven, and versatile Bookkeeper & Payroll Specialist to join us in our Vernal office. In this role, you will do much more than basic data entry. You will actively manage client relationships and keep their daily operations running smoothly by handling everything from Accounts Payable and Receivable to Payroll, HR support, and regulatory compliance.

No two days are exactly alike here. If you enjoy solving problems, keeping things organized, and jumping in where needed, you will fit right in.

What you'll do each day

Client Accounts & Financials

• Keep Accounts Secure: Monitor and manage client bank accounts, emails, credit cards, and daily cash flow with total accuracy.
• Streamline Billing: Use multiple invoicing portals and billing platforms to keep our clients' receivables moving.
• Track Insurance: Help monitor and maintain insurance policies so renewals never miss a deadline.

Compliance & Tax Support

• DOT Administration: Manage DOT & FMCSA compliance paperwork for our trucking and transport clients.
• Audit-Ready Records: Keep paperwork clean and organized to meet local, state, and federal guidelines.
• Quarterly Taxes: Organize and reconcile the financial data needed for state and federal quarterly tax reporting.

Payroll & Everyday Accounting

• Run Payroll: Process accurate, timely payroll cycles using QuickBooks Payroll systems.
• Reconcile Accounts: Stay on top of bank and credit card reconciliations to catch and fix discrepancies right away.
• Spreadsheet Work: Use spreadsheets daily to organize and clean up complex financial data for internal and external reports.

Our Software

We run a modern, tech-forward office. You should feel comfortable multitasking across these core platforms every day: (Training will be included for remote systems)

• QuickBooks (Desktop & Online) — Required
• Google Drive & Google Sheets — Required
• Rightworks (Our cloud hosting environment)
• Splashtop (For remote desktop coordination)
• Invoicing Portals (Open Invoice, Ariba, Transcepta, and various factoring websites)

What we are looking for

• Experience: 2 years of dedicated experience in bookkeeping, payroll, or full-charge office management.
• Software Agility: The ability to jump easily between programs like RightWorks, Splashtop, and different client billing portals.
• A Compliance Mindset: A natural habit of keeping files secure, organized, and fully compliant with regulations.
• Spreadsheet & 10-Key Skills: Strong comfort level with Google Sheets paired with fast, accurate 10-key data entry.
• Discretion: Absolute respect for client privacy and the ability to handle sensitive data across multiple client accounts.
• Team First Attitude: We work as a large team. You must be willing to jump in and help your coworkers when workloads get heavy, and prioritize new tasks as they come through the door, and stay late if deadlines have not been met. (Overtime is paid after 40 hrs per week)

We believe in recognizing hard work early. Instead of waiting a full year for a review, we use 45-day and 90-day performance roadmaps so your wage can increase as you master the role. We value your voice, welcome your ideas on how to improve our workflows, and invest in the tools you need to succeed.

Perks Include:

• Friday Flexibility: We work towards a half-day on Fridays so you can kickstart your weekend. (THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE AND YOU WILL BE RELEASED AT MANAGERS DISCRESSION EACH FRIDAY)
• Paid Holidays: Available after one year of employment.
• Supportive Team Environment: We work hard, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We genuinely like each other, and you'll find real workplace friendships here, not just a room full of coworkers.
