Job description

Job Description: Senior Accounting Manager About Paryani Construction Paryani Construction is an Atlanta-based commercial general contractor specializing in healthcare, institutional, education, government, and interiors construction. Founded in 2018, we have grown to a $30MM+ revenue firm and have been recognized on the Atlanta Business Chronicle's Largest General Contractors list, the Pacesetters list of fastest-growing private companies, and as a Best Places to Work honoree for 2026. We are a company built on systems, long-term relationships, and rewarding the people who carry the work. Position Summary The Senior Accounting Manager owns the accounting function of the company: the monthly close, job cost accuracy, the Work in Progress (WIP) schedule, financial statement production, payroll, and the development of the project accounting staff. This is a hands-on leadership role at the center of a growing general contractor, reporting directly to ownership, with a defined path to the Controller seat, which is currently open. The role blends the responsibilities of a traditional Accounting Manager with Assistant Controller level ownership of construction-specific accounting. Reports To Bhavik Paryani, CEO, and Manish Paryani, President Direct Reports Project Accountant (with additional accounting staff planned as the company grows) Core Responsibilities Month-End Close and Financial Reporting

• Own the full-cycle month-end close, including the close calendar, journal entries, accruals, and supporting schedules.
• Produce interim P&L and balance sheet statements for ownership, bank, and surety reporting.
• Reconcile all bank accounts, including operating, payroll, and intercompany accounts, and the corporate AMEX.
• Maintain GAAP compliance, with revenue recognized under ASC 606 using the cost-to-cost method. Construction and Job Cost Accounting
• Own the WIP schedule end to end: monthly updates, over/under billing analysis, WIP adjustments, and moving jobs from open to closed.
• Ensure WIP accuracy that ownership, the bank, and the surety rely on for revenue recognition and bonding capacity.
• Participate in monthly cost projection meetings with project management; identify mis-cost-coded items and process the reclassifying journal entries.
• Partner with project managers and the project accountant on billings, retainage, and subcontractor cost accuracy. Payroll and Administration
• Review and process bi-weekly payroll for all employees (salaried workforce, no hourly or certified payroll).

• Build and improve accounting processes, systems, and documentation as the company scales.
• Serve as the primary accounting point of contact for the company's outside CPA firm, bank, and surety. Growth Path Paryani Construction does not currently have a Controller. For the right performer, this role carries a written 12 to 18 month development path to Controller, with defined criteria and scheduled milestone reviews.

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2+ years in construction accounting (general contractor or subcontractor).
• Hands-on experience owning a WIP schedule and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition under ASC 606.
