Senior Accountant – Construction & Real Estate

Location: Bonney Lake, WA
Company: Teeter and Affiliated Companies
Pay: Pay Range: $43.25–$45.75 per hour ($90,000–$95,000 annually)
Hours: Full-time

We are looking for an experienced Senior Accountant with construction accounting experience to support a family-owned group of businesses and real estate investments based in Bonney Lake.

This is a hands‑on accounting role with a nice variety of work. The primary accounting activity is concentrated within our electrical contracting business, Canadian marina, and two active commercial real estate/development properties. The ownership group also includes several additional LLCs, most of which simply hold land or other assets and have very limited monthly transaction activity.

You’ll handle the day-to-day accounting for these businesses, including AP/AR, reconciliations, month‑end close, job and project costing, financial reporting, and intercompany activity. You’ll also work directly with ownership on real‑estate and construction projects, building cash flow models and pro‑formas that help us evaluate opportunities and make informed decisions. The role also includes supporting financing and commercial lending activities.

This is a great fit for someone who enjoys the variety and ownership that comes with working in a family‑owned business environment
. Rather than doing the same accounting function every day, you’ll have visibility into several businesses and projects and play an important role in keeping their financials accurate, organized, and moving forward.

• Translate project assumptions—including construction costs, financing, lease rates, operating expenses, timing, and occupancy—into financial models that help ownership make informed directional decisions
• Update models as actual costs and project assumptions change, identify material variances, and clearly communicate their potential financial impact
• Work directly with banking partners throughout the commercial lending process, including loan applications, financial reporting, due diligence, covenant compliance, and loan closings
• Support year‑end accounting, tax preparation, and external accountant requests
