Construction Accounting Manager

Construction Accounting Manager

Build Something. Own It. Make an Impact.

Are you the type of accounting professional who thrives in a growing business where your ideas matter, your voice is heard, and no two days look the same?

We're partnering with a privately held construction company that is investing heavily in its future and looking for an experienced Accounting Manager to take ownership of the accounting function. This isn't a role where you'll inherit a large team or hide behind layers of management—it's an opportunity for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, creating structure, improving processes, and becoming a key business partner to leadership.

If you're entrepreneurial, resourceful, and love wearing multiple hats, we'd love to talk.

Comfortable being a one-person accounting department

Proven ability to build processes, improve workflows, and create structure

The Right Person Is...

Excellent health benefits

401(k) with company match

Opportunity to build an accounting department—not just maintain one
