ABOUT THE ROLE

This Senior Accountant role sits at the core of a growing accounting function for a Minnesota-based construction company. You'll own technical accounting work, including lease accounting under ASC 842, revenue recognition, journal entries, and account reconciliations, while also supporting the team through an upcoming ERP implementation. If you're a strong technical accountant who likes to own their work and learn independently, this is a great opportunity.

Technical Accounting

• Prepare and post journal entries, owning that process on an ongoing basis
• Apply and maintain ASC 842 (lease accounting) as the company's vehicle and equipment lease portfolio grows
• Support ASC 606 (revenue from contracts with customers) recognition and reporting
• Perform and monitor account reconciliations

Compliance & Audit Support

• Pull and organize audit documentation for external auditors
• Provide backup support for state registration and sales/use tax functions, developing a working understanding of those areas

Systems & Process

• Participate in the company's ERP implementation process
• Contribute to process documentation and improvements as the accounting team evolves

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Must-Haves

• Strong technical accounting background, including journal entries and month-end close
• ASC 842 experience, or the technical foundation and drive to learn it independently through research, auditor collaboration, and on-the-job application — candidates newer to the workforce who studied it in school are competitive here
• Working knowledge of ASC 606 revenue recognition
• Self-directed and comfortable researching and resolving complex accounting questions independently
• Education & Experience: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and 3+ years of experience

Nice-to-Haves

• Project accounting experience (this background translates well into the role)
• ERP implementation experience, or strong technical accounting skills that would support picking it up
