The role combines hands‑on accounting expertise with responsibility for job costing, revenue recognition, financial reporting, compliance, and process improvement. You will work across residential, commercial, and federally funded projects, managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment. The position also offers the opportunity to strengthen controls, optimize accounting technology, and contribute to the development of the wider finance function. It is well suited to a proactive professional who brings sound judgment, strong communication, and a genuine sense of ownership.

Accountabilities

• Own the full accounting cycle, including account reconciliations, month-end and year-end close, and financial reporting for leadership.
• Oversee job costing and work‑in‑progress (WIP) schedules across multiple active construction projects, ensuring accuracy and identifying profitability trends.
• Manage percentage‑of‑completion revenue recognition and progress billing across residential, commercial, and federally funded projects.
• Provide financial guidance to leadership and support sound decision‑making by balancing accuracy, compliance, operational priorities, and business needs.
• Lead the integration and optimization of external applications with QuickBooks Online to improve accounting workflows and efficiency.
• Oversee accounts payable and receivable, expense management, subcontractor payments, and vendor and client interactions, resolving discrepancies proactively.
• Support compliance requirements for federally funded projects, including certified payroll and prevailing wage documentation, with training available where required.
• Review and guide accounting support staff or bookkeepers as the finance team expands, providing coaching and feedback.
• Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, and other financial planning activities.
• Strengthen internal controls, accounting policies, procedures, and reporting processes as the business grows.
• Use digital collaboration and accounting tools effectively, including QuickBooks Online, Slack, Google Workspace, Zoom, and other relevant platforms.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and AI applications and champion solutions that can make accounting processes more efficient and effective.

Requirements

• 5–7+ years of accounting experience with U.S.-based companies, including demonstrated ownership of a full-cycle accounting function; CPA certification is strongly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of construction or job‑costed accounting, with the ability to manage accounting activities across multiple concurrent projects.
• Experience working with external stakeholders and cross‑functional teams, ideally within public accounting, client‑facing, construction accounting, or a similar environment.
• Demonstrated ability to make sound financial judgments and manage competing priorities in a fast‑paced, growing organization.
• Previous experience reviewing, supervising, coaching, or guiding accounting professionals is an advantage, even without a formal management title.
• Familiarity with federally funded or government project accounting, including certified payroll, prevailing wage, or DCAA‑related requirements, is highly desirable but not mandatory.
• Strong proficiency with QuickBooks Online, Slack, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Zoom, Google Meet, and Google Drive.
• Experience integrating external applications with QuickBooks Online is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with Bill.com, ClickUp, Gusto, Ramp, or construction‑specific platforms such as JobNimbus, AccuLynx, or similar tools is a plus.
• Awareness of practical AI applications in accounting and a willingness to adopt new technologies are advantageous.
• Full professional fluency in English, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain complex financial matters clearly to non‑finance leaders, project managers, and operational teams.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, organization, and time‑management skills, particularly in a remote environment.
• A proactive, solutions‑oriented approach, with strong independent problem‑solving abilities and the confidence to make decisions and take ownership of outcomes.
• High integrity, curiosity, adaptability, and a strong bias toward action.

Benefits

• Competitive salary paid in USD, based on experience.
• Fully remote working arrangement with the flexibility to work from a professional home setup.
• 10 paid vacation days per year.
• U.S. national holidays included as paid holidays.
• High visibility and direct access to leadership.
