Administrative Assistant

ROOT RIVER HARDWOODS
Preston, MN Full Time
POSTED ON 9/29/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/25/2027

Root River Hardwoods is looking for a dependable, organized, and resourceful Administrative Assistant to join our team. This is a varied role that supports the day-to-day operation of the office and works with customers, vendors, employees, and management.

We're looking for someone who doesn't need to be told every step of the way. The right person is a “figure-it-out” person — someone who can identify what needs to be done, find answers, solve problems, and keep things moving.

Responsibilities

  • Answer phones and assist customers, vendors, and visitors
  • Handle incoming and outgoing mail
  • Scan, organize, and maintain documents and records
  • Assist with accounts receivable and accounts payable
  • Process and organize invoices
  • Prepare and make bank deposits
  • Assist with purchasing and ordering supplies
  • Communicate with vendors and follow up on orders
  • Maintain office supplies and general office organization
  • Assist with data entry and other administrative tasks
  • Provide administrative support to management and various departments
  • Help ensure daily office operations run efficiently
  • Take on additional responsibilities and projects as needed

What We're Looking For

  • Resourceful, self-directed, and able to figure things out
  • Strong attention to detail and organization
  • Dependable and willing to take ownership of responsibilities
  • Comfortable working independently without constant direction
  • Able to identify problems and find practical solutions
  • Professional and friendly communication skills
  • Comfortable working with customers, vendors, and employees
  • Previous administrative or office experience preferred
  • AR/AP, bookkeeping, purchasing, or accounting experience is a plus
  • Basic computer skills and ability to learn new systems
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a busy environment

The Right Fit

We're looking for someone who is dependable, takes initiative, asks questions when needed, and gets things done. You don't have to know everything on day one — but you do need to be willing to learn, use good judgment, and figure it out when you don't have all the answers.

Pay: $22.00 - $26.00 per hour

Benefits:

  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Retirement plan

Salary : $22 - $26
