Hey there!
Thank you for considering this position!
We are South Padre Island Trips, a full service property & vacation rental management company on South Padre Island. We provide rental service to homeowners for tourists including maintenance & housekeeper services. Additionally, our Company Founder owns a partial share in a home building company and a travel/tour operator services that need minimal accounting as well.
We consider our Company fun and happy. Join us! One major benefit here is the very flexible hours we expect.
Our Company is seeking a full time bookkeeper at our professional office on South Padre Island 40 hours per week. This position requires 'in house" or "in office" work at least 2 days per week, rest can be done remotely. We offer a private office within our Company’s offices for you as well.
You should be:
Interested in organizing a wide range of financial accounting for a business with 25 employees and multiple channels of small business. You should be wild about being organized - what we are dying for! We are a young, fun company or so we think!
We think this is a benefit - you will work for just ONE boss or dude - our Founder. Not report to a bunch of corporate nerds other than our CPA if questions.
Ability to deal with an extremely fast paced business with a big growth rate. We have doubled the size of our business in the last 15 months.
Clear understanding of Quickbooks online and how to use it. We still have a CPA for tax filings.
You must have:
Willingness to learn & use existing softwares we use for processing payroll, filing county, state & federal taxes due (payroll, occupancy, sales tax, TWC, etc) as well as our housekeeping & maintenance software and property management software.
You MUST have experience in taking a disorganized set of books and organizing them within Quickbooks
One large piece of the job is issuing monthly owners statements to pay our property owners that rent on short term and some lang term basis. We have an off shore team that does this but, you have to “spot audit” their work to ensure correct. Paying Owners of property what we owe has to be flawless of course.
We train you on these softwares and you are paid to learn, easy but does take some patience to learn. You would be cheerful to learn softwares to lessen the heavy lifting of your bookkeeping.
We use GUSTO for payroll / barefoot & breezeway for our Property Management and Quickbooks for the accounting.
Long term position – please do NOT apply if you do not plan on staying and are in the positive of looking for “something for just now.” There is just too much time involved teaching the right person is all.
Monthly transmittal to our CPA on financials and taxes paid as well as creation of financial statements to our Company Owner.
Ability to work with different employees, from our Company Founder, to Operations Director, Head of Reservations, Front Desk Manager & more to get info you need.
We are looking for a full 360 degree solution - not someone that can "well I can do payroll but not that other stuff" - that doesn't work. Our past bookkeeper will do a transition as to what gets paid when to whom and lead you so you do not start in the dark.
This would be a salaried position with 100% flexible hours though we do want you in our South Padre office at least 2 days per week during regular business hours Monday to Saturday (you pick the days!) It just makes things easier. Private office in our office :)
Pay is negotiable based on experience, let's talk about fit first. This is a FULL TIME job not a side gig. We want a fit.
Must have Resume and References. Quick phone interview then in person required to be hired
2 weeks paid vacation per year
Flex hours, lots of telecommuting fine
Profit Sharing based on net operating income. Yes - we want you to grow with us!
South Padre Trips is an equal opportunity employer in all ways, we are welcoming not excluding!
