Job Description

Administrative Assistant / Bookkeeper M. Taylor Services Inc., Richmond Hill Some admin jobs make you feel like a small fish in a big pond. 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. That’s where you come in! Administrative Assistant The bulk of this role will be administration, especially dealing with communications. 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. Whether you’re drafting emails to potential clients or fielding phone calls from CEOs, you make a strong, professional impression.
• Organization – moving between tasks is easy for you because you anticipate problems. 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. You can manage your own time effectively and demonstrate personal commitment to business success. Working with M. Taylor Services Inc. This will be a full-time, permanent role with Hours Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm (or 8 : 30am to 4 : 30pm). In addition to a starting salary between $40,000 and $45,000 per year, you’ll also receive medical benefits and 2 weeks’ vacation.  This is a very small company, so saying that this role will have a big impact on business is a bit of an understatement : M. Taylor Services Inc. is owned and operated by just one person. What does that mean for you? Nearly unlimited opportunities to learn, grow, and have input on the business. Qualifications
• 2+ years’ experience in administration
• Proficiency with QuickBooks
• Strong computer skills, and proficiency in standard applications (MS Office, especially PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook and Word)
• Experience in the construction industry, preferably in an administrative role, would be a strong asset
• Driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle
• Valid passport How to Apply Our online application will give you the option to apply to this role as a complete person – not just a resume.
