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.

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

• 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

• 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

• 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.
