Ready to take the next step in your accounting career? This onsite opportunity offers exposure to project accounting, job costing, month-end close, and direct visibility to leadership while working in a stable and growing business.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Work closely with the Controller and gain exposure to all areas of accounting. • Build experience in project accounting, job costing, financial reporting, and tax compliance. • Play a key role in month-end and year-end close processes. • Gain hands-on experience with ERP systems and construction-related accounting. • Partner with operations and leadership on projects that directly impact the business. • Enjoy a highly visible role with opportunities to expand your accounting skill set. • Join a collaborative team that values continuous improvement and professional growth.
Key Responsibilities for the Staff Accountant:
Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and job cost adjustments. • Manage project setup, change orders, and contract billing activities. • Process customer invoicing, collections, and cash applications. • Review and process vendor invoices and support accounts payable functions. • Assist with month-end close, financial reporting, audits, and tax filings. • Maintain ERP data and support special accounting projects.
Qualifications for the Staff Accountant:
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. • 3+ years of accounting experience. • Strong knowledge of GAAP, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable. • Advanced Excel skills required; ERP experience preferred. • Construction accounting and/or job costing experience is a plus.
