MBI Tree Services is seeking a Finance & Accounting Specialist to join our growing team in Xenia, Ohio. This role is ideal for an accounting professional who enjoys owning the day‑to‑day financial rhythm of a business while working in a collaborative, down‑to‑earth environment.

As a Finance & Accounting Specialist, you will play a central role in keeping our financial operations running smoothly, supporting payroll, managing AP/AR workflows, maintaining accurate books in QuickBooks, and assisting with monthly financial reporting. You will work closely with leadership and our external CPA to ensure financials are organized, timely, and decision‑ready.

This position is best suited for someone who enjoys hands‑on work, takes pride in accuracy, and wants to be part of a company that is actively growing across residential and commercial service lines.
