• This is not a manage-from-the-sidelines position. The ideal candidate will be comfortable rolling up their sleeves, identifying and resolving issues, and helping the CFO improve accounting systems, processes, controls, and reporting.
• The ideal candidate will be hands-on, flexible, dependable, and comfortable working within a lean accounting function where priorities may evolve.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the general ledger and month-end close process

• Participate in payroll processing and reconcile payroll-related accounts
• Perform bank and cash reconciliations and research discrepancies
• Support job-costing and monthly Work-in-Progress reporting
• Assist with year-end close, external financial reviews, tax preparation, and insurance audits
• Identify inefficiencies and implement practical process improvements
• Collaborate with and provide accounting guidance to support staff, project managers, operations, and leadership
• Remain flexible as responsibilities and processes evolve with the organization

Required Qualifications:

• Active CPA license or CPA-eligible status required
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required
• Five or more years of progressive accounting experience
• Hands-on ownership of the general ledger, journal entries, balance-sheet reconciliations, and month-end close
• Strong understanding of GAAP and accrual accounting
• Experience with accounts payable, payroll, and cash reconciliations
• Financial-statement preparation and month-end reporting experience
• Experience working with an ERP or comprehensive accounting system
• High degree of accountability, accuracy, flexibility, and follow-through
• Final candidates will be asked to provide two to three professional references.

Preferred Experience

• Job costing and Work-in-Progress reporting
• Construction, contracting, or another project-based business
• Percentage-of-completion accounting
• Foundation Software or a comparable construction ERP
• External financial reviews, audits, and tax-preparation support
• Improving accounting controls, procedures, and reporting processes

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Healthy, collaborative, and respectful workplace culture
• Direct partnership with the CFO
• Opportunity to improve systems and make a visible impact
• Professional growth and advancement opportunities
• Fun, entrepreneurial environment connected to sports and athletic facilities
• Long-term stability with an established, growing family-owned company

This role does not directly manage a team but will provide guidance and accounting support to colleagues across the organization.
