Construction Accounting Manager
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.
What You'll Do
- Own the day-to-day accounting function from start to finish
- Manage month-end close, financial reporting, reconciliations, general ledger, AP/AR oversight, and cash flow
- Lead all construction accounting activities including:
- Job Costing
- Work-in-Progress (WIP) Reporting
- AIA Billing
- Revenue Recognition
- Project Financial Reporting
- Partner closely with operations and project teams to ensure project profitability
- Develop better processes, reporting, and internal controls as the company continues to scale
- Collaborate with external CPA partners on tax and year-end activities
- Help build the accounting infrastructure for the next stage of company growth
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of construction accounting experience
- Strong understanding of:
- Job Costing
- WIP Reporting
- AIA Billing
- Percentage of Completion Accounting
- Experience using QuickBooks (Enterprise preferred)
- Comfortable being a one-person accounting department
- Proven ability to build processes, improve workflows, and create structure
- Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
- Someone who enjoys solving problems instead of waiting for direction
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across all levels of the business
The Right Person Is...
- Scrappy and resourceful
- Self-motivated and accountable
- Comfortable working independently
- Hands-on and willing to jump into whatever needs to get done
- Process-minded but practical
- Excited by growth and helping build something bigger
Why You'll Love This Opportunity
- Salary: $100,000-$120,000
- Performance Bonus
- Excellent health benefits
- 401(k) with company match
- Opportunity to build an accounting department-not just maintain one
- Direct exposure to executive leadership
- Fast-paced environment where your work has visible impact
- Long-term growth as the company continues to expand
If you're looking for another corporate accounting role with layers of bureaucracy, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a place where you can take ownership, create structure, influence the business, and grow alongside an ambitious leadership team, please apply!
