I work closely with the project managers to collect all contracts & change orders, plans, paint samples, bids, etc.... obtain signatures and notarization as needed, and issue them along with Certificates of Insurance, W-9, licenses & permits, etc... prior to the beginning start date. I assemble all of this to begin building the Job Folders for each project. All subsequent billing and payment applications, lien releases, progress waivers, and so forth are then added to these folders. I also assemble Field Folders for the Project Managers, Superintendent and Foreman to have onsite.On a monthly basis I update various spreadsheets tracking Requested vs. Received Change Orders, and review them with each project manager, who then instructs me what percentage to bill for each of their projects. I then follow the individual billing instructions per customer to prepare Applications for Payment which usually included a customer billing form, our invoice, a schedule of values, and a conditional waiver, all of which I issue via mail, email or online portal.With so many projects to oversee the documentation and billing needs of, all on varying timelines, I utilize an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of what has been sent, received, or requested. This is a great time-saving organizational tool for me.Managing our cash flow consists of weekly A/R collection efforts (documented), posting all payments & deposits into QuickBooks, managing the petty cash & corporate credit cards, and overseeing our part-time A/P clerk. I provide weekly/monthly reports to management and report any issues to our offsite Accounting Manager. While it was a huge learning experience. I'm quite relieved that we recently outsourced our HR. I did get a taste of on-boarding, medical and 401k benefits admin, a workers comp claim & an audit. Going forward I will be the HR liaison. Show less
