Staff Accountant - Construction

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly driven, self-starting Staff Accountant with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and 5+ years of hands-on experience. This is not a typical back-office accounting role. A critical priority will be building our inventory processes from the ground up. We need someone eager to evaluate, implement, and manage a robust inventory tracking system as we scale.

Key Responsibilities

Inventory Implementation & Oversight: Lead the selection, setup, and rollout of a modern inventory tracking system; establish best practices for physical inventory counts, raw material tracking, and valuation.

General Ledger & Financial Operations: Oversee day-to-day accounting functions, including general ledger maintenance, accounts payable/receivable, job costing, and month-end closing procedures.

Systems Utilization: Leverage QuickBooks, ADP, and Excel to drive efficient bookkeeping, payroll processing, and financial reporting.

Financial Integrity & Analysis: Analyze financial and job data, face facts directly—identifying variances and presenting actionable solutions without sugarcoating realities.

Cross-Functional Team Support: Fill gaps across department operations by proactively supporting team members in areas where financial, inventory, or administrative assistance is needed.

Organizational Advocacy: Defend organizational interests and team integrity through accurate reporting, audit readiness, and sound financial stewardship.

Problem Solving: Navigate fast-paced, multi-faceted challenges across job costing, steel inventory management, and vendor/subcontractor workflows.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (Required).

Experience: 5+ years of progressive accounting experience; background in construction or manufacturing is strongly preferred.

Software Proficiency: Proficiency in QuickBooks, ADP, and advanced Excel for streamlined bookkeeping and reporting.

Core Competencies: Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and time management skills with a high attention to detail.

Inventory Expertise: Demonstrated experience or strong eagerness to implement and manage an inventory system from scratch.

Mindset: Self-starter with high accountability, strong problem-solving skills, and a direct, reality-based approach to financial reporting.

Team-First Approach: Willingness to jump in, support peers, and protect the team's shared goals and reputation.

Adaptability: Thrives under pressure, handles shifting priorities, and excels in a high-energy, dynamic atmosphere.
