Description

The Waldinger Corporation, a growing, 100+ year-old leader in construction and MEP services, is adding a Senior Accountant, Acquisitions & Integrations to our corporate accounting team in Des Moines.

The Waldinger Corporation, a growing, 100+ year-old leader in construction and MEP services, is adding a Senior Accountant, Acquisitions & Integrations to our corporate accounting team in Des Moines. Waldinger is actively expanding through acquisitions — and every new entity that joins the company needs a steady, sharp accounting hand to bring it into the fold. That's where you come in.

Why You'll Love This Role

This isn't a close-the-books-and-repeat role. You'll sit at the center of Waldinger's growth strategy, working directly with newly acquired businesses to align their financial processes with ours — which means real variety, real visibility, and a direct line of sight into how the company scales. You'll partner across finance, operations, HR, payroll, tax, and IT, building relationships and influence well beyond the accounting department. And because acquisitions never look exactly the same twice, you'll be solving new problems and building new processes on a regular basis, not just maintaining an existing system.

What You'll Do

• Lead Acquisition Integrations: Guide newly acquired businesses through accounting transition and integration, standardizing financial processes so every entity reports the same way.
• Own Core Accounting & Reporting: Prepare and review reconciliations, journal entries, and financial analyses that feed accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting.
• Improve How We Work: Evaluate and streamline accounting processes to strengthen controls and help the organization scale smoothly as it grows.
• Drive Financial Analysis: Deliver the acquisition and integration analysis that helps business leaders make confident, informed decisions.
• Optimize Systems: Help implement and enhance financial systems and reporting tools that improve accuracy and visibility across the company.
• Build Cross-Functional Partnerships: Work closely with finance, operations, payroll, tax, HR, and IT to coordinate projects and support change management from planning through completion.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of accounting, auditing, finance, financial reporting, or business integration experience (progressive public accounting experience preferred)
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• CPA preferred
• Minimal travel required

What You Get

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match and profit-sharing
• Paid holidays and paid vacation
• Health club reimbursementWellness plan with lifestyle spending account
• Continuing education, tuition reimbursement, and advancement opportunities
• Term, AD&D, and dependent life insurance
• Prepaid legal services
• Growth potential with a stable, expanding company
