• Maintain the general ledger integrity, including chart of accounts governance, coding discipline, and proper classification between overhead and job costs
• Prepare and review financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow support) and deliver clear variance explanations for leadership
• Drive job costing accuracy by validating cost coding, reviewing project cost allocations, and supporting consistent margin reporting across projects and service work
• Monitor A/R health and collections support, including reviewing aging, identifying issues, and coordinating with operations on disputed items and backup documentation
• Oversee A/P workflow quality, ensuring vendor invoices are coded correctly, approvals are documented, and payment runs follow internal controls
• Support subcontractor and vendor compliance tracking as needed, including W-9s, COIs, lien releases/waivers, and payment documentation standards
• Create and maintain recurring reporting (cash position, A/P aging, A/R aging, job cost summaries, overhead trends) for weekly/monthly review
• Support budgeting and forecasting, including department spend tracking, headcount cost support, and project cash flow inputs
• Partner with operations leadership to improve financial visibility (job profitability, cost drivers, change impacts, purchasing discipline)
• Maintain internal controls and audit readiness, including documentation standards, segregation of duties support, and evidence retention
• Coordinate with external CPA/audit partners for reviews, year-end support, and request fulfillment
• Support system improvements and ERP process adoption (e.g., Business Central migration support, workflow standardization, reporting enhancements)
• Identify process gaps and drive continuous improvement, including SOP creation and training for consistent execution
Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (or equivalent professional experience)
• 4-7+ years of progressive accounting experience; construction, job-costing, or project-based accounting strongly preferred
• Strong working knowledge of GAAP, close processes, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation

• Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and commitment to accurate financial reporting
• Professional communication skills with ability to work with vendors, operations, and leadership
Preferred Experience
• Experience supporting job costing / project margin reporting, including cost coding governance and variance investigation
• Experience supporting system implementations or ERP transitions (Business Central or similar)
• Experience building or improving A/P approval workflows, check controls, and documentation standards
• Exposure to multi-state operations, multi-entity accounting, or intercompany support
• Experience supporting audit/review processes and building audit-ready packages
