Senior Accountant

Construction | Full-Time | Reports to Controller | $75,000 - $95,000 per year

In business since 1983, we are a solid, stable construction company with a long-standing reputation our clients trust. We have built something that lasts -- not just the projects we complete, but the relationships and culture we have developed over decades. We are looking for a Senior Accountant who brings more than just technical skill -- someone with real character. If you are humble, hardworking, and thrive when you are in the middle of complex, hands-on work, we want to hear from you.

This role is a key contributor on our finance team. You will handle day-to-day accounting operations -- recording deposits, managing lien releases, reviewing payroll, overseeing check runs, and supporting financial reporting -- while relieving the Controller to focus on higher-level planning and CFO responsibilities. There is a clear path to grow into an Accounting Manager role for the right person.

Who You Are

We hire for character first. The ideal candidate:

•       Leads with humility -- no task is beneath you, and you take pride in getting it right
•       Digs in and figures things out -- you do not wait to be handed answers
•       Builds genuine relationships with teammates, vendors, and clients
•       Takes ownership and follows through, every time
•       Communicates clearly and proactively, even when it is uncomfortable
•       Brings professionalism and positivity to the team every day

What You Will Own

Daily & Weekly Operations

1.       Record deposits, scan checks, and communicate with CEO/Treasurer
2.       Enter employee reimbursements accurately and on schedule
3.       Manage lien releases for clients and subcontractors
4.       Review invoices to pay; print and review checks for weekly check runs
5.       Review payroll for accuracy prior to processing

Financial Reporting & Oversight

•       Review the Overhead Analysis for discrepancies on a monthly basis
•       Complete GL Insurance and Workers' Compensation reconciliations monthly
•       Support month-end close and GL reconciliation
•       Assist the Controller with financial analysis, job budgeting, and bid vs. actual review
•       Monitor outstanding AR, follow up with clients, and report status to management

Team Support & Cross-Coverage

•       Assist the Accounts Receivable function with progress billings, AIA/SOVs, change orders, retention tracking, and client collections
•       Assist the Accounts Payable function with vendor invoice processing, GL reconciliations, and check runs
•       Assist the Payroll function with timecard review, compliance reporting, and payroll processing for 140+ employees
•       Serve as the primary backup for the AR, AP, and Payroll team members to ensure continuity of operations
•       Collaborate with the accounting team to ensure smooth operations and knowledge sharing
•       Support the Controller in building a resilient, well-rounded team

What You Bring

•       Experience in construction accounting -- this is the most important technical requirement
•       Working knowledge of job costing, WIP, AIA billings, and Certified/Prevailing Wage payroll
•       Familiarity with construction accounting software (Sage, Viewpoint, Procore, or similar) and Excel
•       Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
•       A track record of integrity, confidentiality, and professionalism
•       A bachelor's degree in accounting or equivalent hands-on experience

We recognize that great candidates do not always check every box. If you have a strong foundation in construction accounting and the character to match, we encourage you to apply.

What We Offer

1.       A people-first culture where your contributions are recognized and valued
2.       Real opportunity for growth -- this role has a defined path to Accounting Manager
3.       401(k) with 4% company match
4.       Health, dental, life, and disability insurance for you and your family
5.       Paid vacation, sick pay, and holidays
