Amanda Klein for the kids . In 2019 the office manager left , and Chuck Hathaway offered her the position , which she admitted she didn ’ t want , but the end goal was to purchase the company , so she accepted it .

As office manager Klein manages the cash flow for the company — billing , invoicing , payroll , purchase orders for jobs — and she ensures accurate billing and reporting by time for each job . She types quotes , is responsible for monthly and quarterly reporting for taxes , and reports the carpenters and laborers ’ hours to the union for benefits .

Klein said she keeps Dustin on his toes , ensuring the guys are where they need to be . “ We balance each other out ,” she said .

Klein said she had no formal education , and all she learned for this position was self-taught . “ All you have to have is drive and willingness to learn , and you can achieve it ,” she said .

Klein said she is proud of where she and Dustin have come in the last five years and is excited for the future of Hathaway .

Klein is not formally involved in any organizations , although she regularly volunteers and gives to a family at First Step for Christmas . She believes in the mission of First Step and has seen firsthand how it helps families grow and flourish . Her family also is a host family for foreign exchange students .
