Job description

Compensation: Up to $100K base + 10% bonus

The Kostelic Agency has exclusively partnered with a growing, multi-state specialty construction contractor to identify a hands-on Accounting Manager for its Phoenix operations.

The company's growth is creating opportunity: revenue increased from approximately $270M last year to roughly $370M following recent acquisitions. Another acquisition under consideration could bring combined revenue to approximately $570M if completed.

For an existing Accounting Manager or a Senior Accountant ready to broaden their responsibilities, this offers exposure across the accounting cycle, access to accounting leadership, and a potential path toward Divisional Controller.

Scope & Impact

You'll support Arizona accounting operations across billing, AP, AR, general ledger, reconciliations, and month-end close. This role suits someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership, and can move comfortably between priorities.

Where You'll Add Value

• Prepare construction billings, including AIA and retention, and manage related lien waivers.
• Review contracts for billing requirements and maintain schedules of values.
• Support vendor invoice processing, payment runs, and account reconciliations.
• Post bank activity, complete bank reconciliations, and assist with monthly journal entries.
• Review AP/AR aging, resolve discrepancies, and maintain accurate financial records.
• Work in Sage 300 CRE/Timberline and navigate billing portals such as Procore and SupplyPro.

Ideal Profile

• A few years of progressive accounting experience and readiness for broader responsibility.
• Strong accounting fundamentals, Excel skills, organization, and follow-through.
• Construction accounting experience strongly preferred, particularly with a subcontractor or specialty trade contractor.
• Sage 300 CRE/Timberline experience is a significant plus.
• An accounting or finance degree is preferred.

Why our client

• A possible next step into Divisional Controller as you develop and take on additional responsibility.
• More frequent office attendance during the first month or two, followed by an anticipated one to two office days per week, based on business needs.
• Build experience across accounting functions within an expanding construction business.

You will have direct exposure to operating leadership, meaningful ownership, and the opportunity to help shape how a growing organization makes decisions.
