Job description
Construction Accounting Manager
Build Something. Own It. Make an Impact.
Are you the type of accounting professional who thrives in a growing business where your ideas matter, your voice is heard, and no two days look the same?
We're partnering with a privately held construction company that is investing heavily in its future and looking for an experienced Accounting Manager to take ownership of the accounting function. This isn't a role where you'll inherit a large team or hide behind layers of management—it's an opportunity for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, creating structure, improving processes, and becoming a key business partner to leadership.
If you're entrepreneurial, resourceful, and love wearing multiple hats, we'd love to talk.
What You'll Do
Own the day-to-day accounting function from start to finish
Manage month-end close, financial reporting, reconciliations, general ledger, AP/AR oversight, and cash flow
Lead all construction accounting activities including:
Job Costing
Work-in-Progress (WIP) Reporting
AIA Billing
Revenue Recognition
Project Financial Reporting
Partner closely with operations and project teams to ensure project profitability
Develop better processes, reporting, and internal controls as the company continues to scale
Collaborate with external CPA partners on tax and year-end activities
Help build the accounting infrastructure for the next stage of company growth
What We're Looking For
3+ years of construction accounting experience
Strong understanding of:
Job Costing
WIP Reporting
AIA Billing
Percentage of Completion Accounting
Experience using QuickBooks (Enterprise preferred)
Comfortable being a one-person accounting department
Proven ability to build processes, improve workflows, and create structure
Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
Someone who enjoys solving problems instead of waiting for direction
Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across all levels of the business
The Right Person Is...
Scrappy and resourceful
Self-motivated and accountable
Comfortable working independently
Hands-on and willing to jump into whatever needs to get done
Process-minded but practical
Excited by growth and helping build something bigger
Why You'll Love This Opportunity
Salary: $100,000–$120,000
Performance Bonus
Excellent health benefits
401(k) with company match
Opportunity to build an accounting department—not just maintain one
Direct exposure to executive leadership
Fast-paced environment where your work has visible impact
Long-term growth as the company continues to expand
If you're looking for another corporate accounting role with layers of bureaucracy, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a place where you can take ownership, create structure, influence the business, and grow alongside an ambitious leadership team , please apply!
