Job description

We’ll teach you to run the numbers behind high-quality commercial landscapes. $52,000-$58,000/yr

Are you looking for a place to establish roots and grow in your career?

Heritage Landcare is a family-owned company built on strong relationships, high standards, and excellence. We look for people who take ownership, follow through, and want to grow.

We are not the right fit for everyone, and that is intentional. If you value accountability, teamwork, and doing things the right way, Heritage may be the place for you.

The role

You’ll manage the day-to-day accounting operations that keep our commercial landscape maintenance, construction, and design divisions running efficiently. Working directly with our Controller, project managers, and field supervisors, you’ll handle job costing, accounts payable/receivable, general ledger entries, and monthly reconciliations to give operational leaders accurate, real-time insight into job profitability.

You don’t need a decade of commercial landscape accounting experience—we’ll train you on our industry-specific systems and operations.

What we can’t teach is who you are.

• Hungry: You take ownership of deadlines, take pride in bulletproof accuracy, and show up reliably every day to get the job done right.
• Humble: You work well across departments, communicate transparently with branch managers and field supervisors, and put the integrity of the team’s financials first.
• Smart: You have an eye for detail, catch variances before they become problems, and can translate complex job costs and spreadsheets into actionable clarity.

How we’ll train you

• Job Costing & Systems: Hands-on walkthroughs of our industry-specific ERPs, accounting workflows, and project-based cost coding structures.
• Field & Asset Operations: Direct exposure to our fleet, heavy equipment depreciation, vendor relationships, and commercial contract structures.
• Ongoing: Direct mentorship from our Controller to master month-end close procedures, preliminary trial balance prep, and management reporting.

Helpful, but not required

• 1-4 years of accounting experience in commercial landscaping, construction, or trades
• Experience with QuickBooks Enterprise, Sage, or industry platforms (Aspire, Boss LM, LMN)
• Prior work handling job-cost accounting, lien waivers, or subcontractor COIs

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (or equivalent combination of direct education and accounting experience)
• Strong analytical reasoning and advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, SUMIFS)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills to coordinate effectively across office and field teams

What you get

• 52,000-58,000/year (Salaried, Exempt)
• Core Monday-Thursday schedule (6:30 AM - 5:00 PM; completion-based during close cycles and busy season)
• Growth opportunities as Heritage expands
• Medical, dental, vision, and supplemental insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays
• Professional development support

Working conditions: Standard office environment in our Midlands location. Requires sitting or standing for extended periods, operating a computer and standard office equipment, and the ability to occasionally lift up to 20 lbs.

If you’re hungry, humble, and smart, and you want a career instead of a job.
