• Develop and maintain appropriate accounting controls
• Support budgeting and forecasting with the owner
• Work closely with project managers and project coordinators
• Identify opportunities to automate, streamline and improve accounting processes
• Coordinate with outside CPA and other financial partners

Ideal Background

• Approximately 5–10 years of progressive accounting experience
• Strong QuickBooks Online experience required
• Prior experience supervising or leading accounting staff
• Strong understanding of AP, AR, reconciliations, GL, cash flow and financial reporting
• Construction, specialty contracting, installation or other project/job-cost accounting experience strongly preferred
• Highly tech-savvy and comfortable adopting new software and systems
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills
• Hands-on, organized and comfortable working directly with an entrepreneurial owner
