This is a hands-on, broad accounting role that is ideal for someone who enjoys variety and likes being the person the team can count on to jump in where needed.

The environment is fast-paced and entrepreneurial, making this a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats and taking ownership of their work.

• Assist with collections and follow up on outstanding receivables
• Process vendor invoices and assist with payment activities
• Support project accounting, including project-related billing, costs, and documentation
• Assist with account and general ledger reconciliations

• Assist with month-end accounting activities as needed

• Experience with project accounting, construction, contracting, or a project-based business is a plus
• Associate or bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field preferred, or equivalent relevant experience

Who Will Thrive in This Role

This position is especially well suited for someone who considers themselves an accounting utility player. You may be working through invoices and vendor questions one day, helping with customer billing or project accounting the next, and jumping into a reconciliation or special project after that.

The right person will be comfortable operating without a narrowly defined lane and will enjoy being a dependable resource across the accounting function.
