Corporate Accountant

Our client, an established General Contractor, is seeking a motivated, accounting-oriented professional to join its finance team as a Corporate Accountant. This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow beyond traditional accounting and build a broad understanding of both the project and financial sides of a successful construction company.

You'll start by learning the company's project administration, project accounting, and compliance processes, becoming proficient in CMiC Cloud and GCPay alongside an experienced project accounting team. As you develop, your responsibilities will expand into corporate accounting, job costing, payment processing, and broader financial and operational functions. The role offers a clear path toward senior-level finance and accounting responsibilities.

Project Administration & Compliance:
Manage lien waivers, certificates of insurance, contracts, change orders, and payment applications, and serve as the main point of contact for subcontractors on compliance and billing.

Project Accounting & Billing:
Support subcontractor billing and payment applications, including AIA G702/G703 and sworn statements. Track project costs, commitments, and billings, and assist with AP processing and audit support.

Project Operations & Closeout:
Coordinate subcontractor closeout documents and job-site services.

Growing Accounting Responsibilities:
Take on job cost accounting, account reconciliations, journal entries, month-end close, WIP and percentage-of-completion support, and audit preparation.

Additional Support:
Provide backup administrative support, travel and lodging coordination, office operations support, and OSHA reporting assistance.

You're detail-oriented, analytical, and organized. You learn quickly, take initiative, and can manage multiple priorities. You communicate clearly and are comfortable working with subcontractors, vendors, project managers, owners, and title companies.

Employees who waive coverage receive $80 per pay period.

Retirement: 401(k) with company match and/or profit-sharing at the company's discretion, plus potential ESOP contribution (eligibility and vesting requirements apply)
