About Floor Authority
Floor Authority is a multi-market flooring company serving production builders, custom builders, commercial clients, and retail customers across the Southeast. We handle the full scope — from estimating and material sourcing to installation and warranty — with our own field teams, warehouses, and showrooms. We build our own technology to run the business, and we’re investing in the people, processes, and structure to support the next stage of growth. If you want to be part of a company that’s building something, not just maintaining it, this is the place.
Role Purpose
The Accounting Assistant is the first dedicated support role in Floor Authority's accounting department, working directly under the Controller. The purpose of the role is simple: keep the daily transaction queues at zero. As Floor Authority has grown, the volume of routine transactional work — costing received inventory, invoicing and closing completed sales orders, processing vendor invoices — has outgrown what a one-person accounting department can absorb alongside payroll, close, and controls. This role owns that transactional layer in FloorCore so the Controller can focus on the work only she can do. It is detail work with real stakes: accurate costing keeps our margins honest, and timely invoicing keeps revenue and cash collection on schedule.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities
Inventory Costing
- Cost received inventory daily in our system, keeping the Uncosted Inventory balance at or near zero.
- Work down the existing uncosted-inventory backlog as a first-90-days priority.
- Flag cost discrepancies (vendor price vs. purchase order) to the Controller or Purchasing before posting — never guess.
Sales Order Invoicing & Close
- Invoice and close completed sales orders daily, verifying pricing, customer PO, and tax details before posting.
- Keep the invoicing queue current so revenue recognition and accounts receivable stay accurate and timely.
- Route exceptions (pricing disputes, missing POs, partial completions) to the Controller or the responsible Project Coordinator.
Accounts Payable Support
- Process vendor invoices, confirming receipt of goods/services and matching against purchase orders.
- Code invoices to the correct GL accounts for Controller review.
Expense & Cash Administration
- Track and reconcile expenses, ensuring accurate coding and timely submission for accounting review.
- Handle bank runs, deposits, and petty cash as needed.
Licensing & Compliance
- Track and renew business licenses across all Floor Authority markets, maintaining a calendar of deadlines.
- Ensure all required documentation is filed on time and properly stored.
Flex Support
- Take on other recurring transactional tasks as assigned by the Controller — data cleanup, report pulls, filing preparation, and similar.
Travel & Work Schedule
- Office-based in Myrtle Beach, SC, working alongside the Controller.
- Full-time position, Monday–Friday, standard business hours; occasional local errands (bank runs, deposits).
Desired Qualifications
- 1–3 years of experience in bookkeeping, accounts payable/receivable, billing, or a similar detail-heavy administrative role.
- High accuracy on repetitive, detail-oriented work — you take pride in a clean queue and a zero balance.
- Comfortable working in an ERP system daily (FloorCore training provided) and proficient in Excel.
- A process-follower who flags anomalies instead of improvising around them.
- Trustworthy with confidential financial information.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Working Conditions
- Primarily desk-based office work in FloorCore and Excel.
- Occasional local travel for bank runs and deposits (valid driver’s license required).
Company Benefits
- Competitive salary
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) retirement savings plan
- Paid time off and holidays
- Professional development opportunities
What Success Looks Like
Queues Stay at Zero: The Uncosted Inventory balance sits at or near zero, and completed sales orders are invoiced within days — not weeks — of completion.

Clean First-Pass Work: Invoices, costing entries, and GL coding are right the first time. The Controller reviews your work; she doesn’t redo it.
The Controller Is Freed Up: The real measure of this role is what it gives back — the Controller’s time returns to payroll, close, reconciliations, and controls.
Exceptions Get Raised, Not Buried: When something doesn’t match, you flag it early and with the context needed to resolve it quickly.
