Senior Accounting Manager

Senior Accounting Manager/Controller

The Senior Accounting Manager owns the accounting function of the company: the monthly close, job cost accuracy, the Work in Progress (WIP) schedule, financial statement production, payroll, and the development of the project accounting staff. This is a hands-on leadership role at the center of a rowing general contractor, reporting directly to ownership, with a defined path to the Controller role.

Responsibilities include:

• Own the full-cycle month-end close, including the close calendar, journal entries, accruals, and supporting schedules.
• Maintain GAAP compliance, with revenue recognized under ASC 606 using the cost-to-cost method.
• Own the WIP schedule end to end: monthly updates, over/under billing analysis, WIP adjustments, and moving jobs from open to closed.
• Ensure WIP accuracy that ownership, the bank, and the surety rely on for revenue recognition and bonding capacity.
• Participate in monthly cost projection meetings with project management; identify mis-cost-coded items and process the reclassifying journal entries.
• Partner with project managers and the project accountant on billings, retainage, and subcontractor cost accuracy.
• Review and process bi-weekly payroll for all employees (salaried workforce, no hourly or certified payroll).
• Track PTO requests against PTO accruals and maintain accrual accuracy.

Qualifications

Required:

• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 2+ years in construction accounting (general contractor or subcontractor).
• Hands-on experience owning a WIP schedule and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition under ASC 606.
• Experience running a full-cycle month-end close independently.
• Strong GAAP knowledge and demonstrated journal entry and reconciliation skills.
• Experience processing payroll and supervising accounting staff.
