Job description

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE & ADMINISTRATION SPECIALIST – Be the Backbone of the Operation

More than a job. An investment in you.

At Cornerstone, we don’t just build commercial projects; we build careers, teams, and long-term success. Since 1993, we’ve grown as a 100% Alaskan-owned company by focusing on collaboration, accountability, and doing things the right way.

We’re looking for an Accounts Payable & Administration Specialist who wants more than processing invoices, someone who takes pride in keeping operations running smoothly, supporting teams, and being a trusted point of contact across the company.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

This role sits at the intersection of financial accuracy and daily operations.

You’re not just processing invoices, you’re ensuring vendors are paid correctly, teams have what they need, and the business runs without disruption. From financial detail to first impressions in the office, your work supports every part of the company.

It’s a role that requires organization, ownership, and consistency with clear opportunities to grow into broader accounting or operational responsibilities.

For people who take pride in doing things right and want to be a reliable, trusted part of a team, this is a role with real impact.

What You’ll Do (The Impact You’ll Have)

You’ll play a critical role in both financial accuracy and day-to-day operations, supporting the accounting team while keeping the office running efficiently.

Accounts Payable & Financial Support

• Manage and process vendor invoices with accuracy and accountability
• Track and reconcile credit card transactions and receipts
• Assist with weekly bank deposits and account reconciliations
• Support subcontractor compliance tracking (payroll, insurance, documentation)
• Assist with payroll processing and financial data entry as needed

Administrative & Office Operations

• Serve as the first point of contact for visitors, clients, and team members
• Coordinate meetings, events, and office logistics
• Track and maintain company vehicle documentation (registration, insurance, maintenance)
• Manage office equipment, supplies, and vendor service needs
• Support leadership and team members with day-to-day operational needs

This role is essential to keeping both the financial systems and the office environment running smoothly.

What You Bring

We’re looking for someone who combines attention to detail with reliability and a strong sense of ownership.

• 1+ year of administrative experience in an office environment
• 1+ year of accounting or accounts payable experience
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple responsibilities
• Excellent communication and customer service skills
• Ability to work independently, stay organized, and meet deadlines
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams)

Bonus if you have:

• Construction industry experience
• Additional accounting experience

Compensation

• $19.23 - $28.84 per hour (depending on experience)
• Up to 5% annual bonus tied to performance and company results

Our philosophy is simple:

performance matters, and success is shared across the team.

What You Get (Total Rewards That Actually Matter)

• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their families
• Plans backed by trusted national carriers (BlueCross BlueShield, UnitedHealthcare, VSP, Express Scripts)
• Benefits designed to provide real, reliable value; not just coverage on paper
• Wellness support that encourages long-term health and balance

Time & Flexibility

• Generous PTO that allows you to recharge and manage life outside of work
• Paid holidays plus a company-wide break from Christmas through New Year’s
• Paid volunteer time to give back to your community
• A culture that respects personal time and sustainable performance

Your Future

• 401(k) with profit sharing of at least 3% or more, depending on company performance
• Performance-based incentives aligned with company success
• Opportunities for growth and expanded responsibility
• Support for continued learning and professional development

Where We Go Beyond the Market

• Wellness stipend for real-life use
• Merit-based advancement driven by performance; not tenure
• Life-event support programs
