  • Support subcontractor compliance tracking and high-volume invoice processing

GROWTH RESPONSIBILITIES (OVER TIME)

  • Support month-end close, journal entries, and general ledger maintenance
  • Assist with construction billing, retainage, and pay applications

  • Grow into a trusted right-hand role within the accounting team

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR — REQUIRED

  • Minimum 1 year  of construction accounting experience — with 2+ years strongly preferred
  • Hands-on, full-cycle Accounts Payable experience with real volume (not entry-level invoice entry only)
  • Experience with job cost coding in a construction environment
  • Strong Excel skills and solid accounting judgment
  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy
  • Polished, professional communication and a self-starter mindset
  • Interest in a long-term role with room to grow
