Banking & cash flow — reconciliations and cash management

Financials — year-end close, WIP reporting, job costing, backlog analysis, journal entries, working with our outside CPA firm

Insurance — renewals, COIs, audits, workers' comp, general liability, and compliance

Team leadership — overseeing a small, accuracy-focused accounting staff (3 direct reports)

Systems: Sage 100, GCPay, Centrally HR (CBIZ), Microsoft Office

What you'll need:

5+ years of dedicated accounting experience in commercial construction (not residential)

Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance

Prior experience leading a team

Strong grasp of WIP reporting, job costing, and backlog analysis

Benefits: 100% employer-paid medical & dental (employee + family), 401(k), PTO, paid holidays, company laptop, life insurance, and more.
