ScopeExtera Building Solutions and all operating companies:
Warren Roofing & Insulating, Cleveland Building Restoration, Mansuetto Roofing & Sheet Metal and future acquisitions
Extera Building Solutions is a private equity-backed building envelope platform headquartered in Walton Hills, Ohio. Our operating companies are established, well-regarded names in commercial roofing, sheet metal, and building restoration across Ohio:
Warren Roofing & Insulating, a union contractor with more than a century in business;
Cleveland Building Restoration, a specialist in building and historic restoration; and Mansuetto Roofing & Sheet Metal, a roofing and fabrication business founded in 1966 in Martins Ferry.
The platform is growing organically and through acquisition, and each new company has to be brought onto one set of standards quickly and cleanly. That makes finance at Extera a different job from finance at a single-site contractor: multi-entity, project-based, percentage-of-completion accounting with real transaction exposure and a sponsor-level bar for accuracy.
POSITION OVERVIEWThe Senior Accountant reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer and is built as a development seat for a future finance leader. The role owns real work from day one, including assisting with month-end general ledger close, WIP and revenue recognition adjustments, AIA billing, cost accounting, and reporting, and it is deliberately designed to make the person capable of stepping in as the number two to each of four seats: the Corporate Controller, the Accounting Manager, the Treasurer, and the Billing Manager.
Working across all four functions is how this person learns the business end to end, from how a job is bid, set up, costed, and billed to how it flows into consolidated financial statements, lender reporting, and an acquisition's opening balance sheet. The role also gives direct exposure to M&A, including due diligence, purchase accounting, and integration, at a private equity platform in a sector with strong tailwinds.
Day-to-day close work follows the Corporate Controller's close calendar and standards. The reporting line to the CFO exists so the Senior Accountant can move across functions, take on platform-level projects, and be coached directly by the CFO; it does not create a parallel accounting function.
WHAT YOU WILL OWNMonth-End Close and General Ledger- Prepare and post month-end journal entries with full support for all entities: accruals, prepaids, payroll and bonus accruals, depreciation and amortization, right-of-use lease entries, commissions, intercompany, allocations and recharges, and reclasses.
- Reconcile balance sheet accounts monthly, attach support to the reconciliation work papers, and clear open items before the books close.
- Perform bank reconciliations between Foundation (our ERP system) and the bank, record deposits and cash receipts, and resolve unmatched items.
- Maintain the fixed asset module, calculate the bad debt reserve, and reconcile intercompany balances across entities.
- Work the close to the Corporate Controller's calendar and help shorten days-to-report without giving up accuracy.
- Prepare the monthly WIP schedule: percentage-of-completion revenue, over and under billings, estimated cost to…
