We're a team of engineers and support staff who take pride in doing things right. Our low turnover reflects a culture built on trust, long-term relationships, and a genuine commitment to quality for our customers and for each other. We're in an active growth phase, diversifying our customer base and building the internal infrastructure to support it. About the Role As C-P Systems has grown, the scope of what was once a single business administrator position has naturally expanded into two distinct areas of ownership. We are intentionally splitting the current role, with built-in overlap on critical functions like invoicing and payroll. This position covers the financial and systems side. You will work alongside our current Business Administrator and take primary ownership of financial reporting, QuickBooks, AR, and the internal tracking and KPI functions that keep our operations visible to leadership. This is a good fit if you get satisfaction from bringing a fresh set of eyes to systems and processes that have evolved over time. We want someone who can assess what's working, build on it, and find better solutions where they're needed. You don't need a background in engineering, but you do need to be comfortable across multiple platforms and genuinely curious about how our project management, billing, payroll, and other tools interact. Hours will start at 15-20 per week, with flexibility for a higher initial commitment during the onboarding and overlap period as you get up to speed alongside our current Business Administrator.

Why Join Us At C-P Systems, our objective is to hire for the long-term to provide consistency for our customers and to maintain alignment with our company values. This focus results in exceptional employee satisfaction and retention. While experience is recognized, a person's drive to improve things and take real ownership of their work matters just as much. This role has clear scope today and real room to grow as we build out our financial infrastructure. You'll have direct access to ownership, a Business Administrator and IT staff who want to collaborate, and the latitude to make meaningful improvements to processes that affect how the whole company operates. We offer a flexible and collaborative work environment that embraces current tools and a genuine commitment to work/life balance.
