ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Taylor Electric Company has been in business since 1922, performing residential, commercial, industrial, and maintenance electrical work throughout the Chicagoland area. Our early successes positioned us to grow into larger, more complex projects, including nationally recognized architectural landmarks such as Soldier Field, Guaranteed Rate Field, and the University of Chicago.

We are a long-standing, established contractor currently in a phase of intentional growth and operational improvement, particularly within our accounting and financial processes. As we continue to scale, our focus is on building systems that are accurate, compliant, and sustainable long-term.

Under the direction of the Controller, the Accounts Receivable Clerk, in collaboration with the Accounts Payable Clerk, plays a key role in ensuring payroll is processed accurately, customers are invoiced timely, and funds are collected in accordance with proper accounting procedures.

This position supports construction-specific accounting functions, including payroll that directly ties to client billings, Time & Material and AIA invoicing, and compliance requirements such as certified payroll. Accuracy and attention to detail are critical, as the work performed in this role directly impacts client billing, cash flow, and regulatory compliance.
We are seeking someone who values structure, follows established processes, and takes pride in producing consistent, accurate work. This role is well-suited for a calm, focused professional who works independently, communicates clearly, and approaches issues with a solution-oriented mindset.
