About Blindster

Blindster is a family-owned and operated e-commerce company based in Houston, TX. We sell custom window blinds, shades, and shutters to customers across the U.S., empowering DIYers to create beautiful homes at an affordable price. We’re an established 14-year old company always operating in startup mode, with a collaborative, hands-on culture where everyone wears multiple hats. Our team is close-knit, and cross-functional work is part of our everyday rhythm. If you're energized by variety and enjoy being part of a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment, you'll feel right at home here.

About the Role

We’re hiring an Accounting & Operations Coordinator to support the financial and administrative work that keeps our business running smoothly. This is an entry-level, full-time, in-person role ideal for a recent college graduate or someone with 3+ years of directly relevant experience in accounting or bookkeeping.

You’ll be responsible for the kind of detailed, behind-the-scenes work that helps everything run efficiently—processing payments, organizing vendor information, maintaining reports, and keeping financial records accurate and up to date. Your work will directly support key business functions and leadership decisions.

This position reports directly to our Chief Operating Officer (COO) and works closely with other company leaders, offering meaningful exposure to how a growing e-commerce business is run. We’re looking for someone who’s dependable, motivated, and eager to take ownership of their responsibilities—someone who doesn’t just check boxes but looks for ways to improve how things are done.

• Monitor bank and credit card accounts daily to flag unusual activity
• Prepare vendor payments, reimbursements, and wire transfers
• Track receipts, confirmations, and transaction records

Accounts Payable & Vendor Management

• Review invoices for accuracy and enter bills in QuickBooks Online
• Track vendor credits, discounts, and payment terms
• Maintain up-to-date vendor contact and contract records

Internal Reporting & Support

• Update weekly cash position reports for leadership
• Assist with monthly reporting and spend tracking
• Coordinate with our external bookkeeper and CPA firm
• Help gather and organize documentation for audits or filings

Compliance & Admin Tasks

• Respond to chargebacks and coordinate with our payment processor
• Support sales tax management via automated software
• Assist with PCI compliance and annual insurance policy renewals
• Handle one-off operational challenges as they arise

What We’re Looking For

• Exceptionally organized and detail-oriented
• Self-motivated and able to manage recurring responsibilities with minimal oversight
• Resourceful problem-solver—comfortable figuring things out as needed
• Strong communicator—especially in writing and working with external partners
• Comfortable working independently but collaborative when needed

Requirements

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, business, or related field
  – OR –
• 3+ years of experience in an accounting, bookkeeping, or operations role
• Basic understanding of accounting workflows and tools like Excel or QuickBooks Online
• Internship or part-time experience in a business/office setting is a plus

Nice to Have (but not required)

• Experience with QuickBooks Online
• Exposure to e-commerce or retail operations
• Interest in growing into a budgeting or strategic finance role over time

Benefits

Benefits (after 90 days)

• Paid time off and sick leave
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Health/Flex spending account
• 401(k) with employer match

Why This Role Could Grow With You

This role offers significant exposure to high-level operations, working directly with the COO and collaborating closely with company leadership. While your initial responsibilities will focus on core accounting and operations, there’s room to grow. If you're eager to take on more, we’re happy to teach you how to contribute to budgeting, planning, or broader financial strategy. Promotions and expanded responsibilities are on the table for someone who proves they’re ready.
