Accountant - Construction

Description

About Us

All In One Accounting is a 7-time winner of the 50 Fastest Growing Companies in the Twin Cities and one of the Best Places to Work in the Minneapolis area. Our purpose is simple: to make the lives of entrepreneurial and nonprofit leaders better. We do that by supporting profitable growth, protecting assets, and amplifying impact — bringing financial clarity and strategic leadership to the clients who need it most. We run on EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), which means clear goals, strong accountability, and a team that executes with intention.

A bit about the role:

We're seeking a detail-oriented Construction Accountant to support a portfolio of general contractors, subcontractors, home builders, and specialty trade businesses. Construction accounting is its own discipline — job costing, percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, subcontractor compliance, and lien waivers aren't concepts you learn on the fly. You bring the technical foundation and the discipline to keep construction clients financially organized and profitable. You'll work as part of AIOA's delivery team model, contributing directly to client work alongside your Controller and CFO.

Now about you...

We hire for hungry, humble, and smart — and here's what that looks like at AIOA. Hungry means you bring initiative to every client, push beyond the task at hand, and look for ways to improve processes without being asked. Humble means you know when to escalate, you take feedback well, and you make your team better by being a reliable, low-ego contributor. Smart — in our world — means people-smart and situationally aware: you read clients well, communicate clearly, and know how to navigate complexity without creating noise. If that sounds like you, you'll thrive here.
