If you’re looking to make a splash with a growing company that will notice all your hard work, we’ve got an opportunity for you. Margaret Taylor Services Inc. provides a full range of administrative and financial services to a very narrow industry: nonprofit construction trade associations. By limiting the scope of our customers, we’re able to provide unparalleled expertise, providing things like operational management for boards of directors, committees, membership support, and financial and content management through a variety of platforms. Right now, we’re a team of just one, so M. Taylor Services Inc. is looking to add someone who can handle both the administrative and financial needs of clients with precision and professionalism.

You’ll liaise with trade association execs to fine tune our delivery, working on things like packages for new members, marketing materials, even social media from time to time. No matter what the situation, you’ve got strong fundamental skills in writing and speech. Another big part of this will involve bookkeeping: doing AR/AP for clients. You’ve got a background using QuickBooks and have the attention to detail and technical ability to manage basic accounting. On a more occasional basis, you’ll get involved in things like trade shows, or any number of activities and events aimed at improving the membership and operations of the associations we represent. If you’ve got the following qualities, this is the place for you: * Excellent communication – you excel in written and verbal communication.

You stay organized through distractions and interruptions. * Self-sufficiency – you hold yourself and your work to high standards, which means you don’t need or want to be micromanaged.
