• Support the preparation of monthly/quarterly financial statements, variance reports, and key construction metrics (e.g., project margins, backlog, over/under billings) in collaboration with the Controller and FP&A team.
• Help ensure adherence to GAAP, internal controls, tax regulations, and construction-specific requirements (e.g., certified payroll, prevailing wage compliance, sales/use tax on materials).
• Assist the Controller with budgeting/forecasting support, 1099 processing, business personal property renditions, special projects, audit coordination, and process improvements in accounting workflows.
• Coordinate sales tax registrations, maintain sales tax data, and perform sales tax filings.
• Perform other duties and special projects assigned to support the accounting and finance team, project execution, and the overall success of the company.

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or related field required; CPA or CPA candidate preferred.
• Foundational understanding of GAAP and experience with construction accounting principles (percentage-of-completion, job costing, WIP reporting, retainage, revenue recognition).
• Proficiency in accounting software (e.g., Sage Intacct, Viewpoint, Procore, Foundation, or similar construction-specific ERP systems); advanced Excel skills for reconciliations, analysis, and modeling.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and attention-to-detail skills with a willingness to solve complex GL entries and variances.
• Strong organizational and time-management abilities to lead month-end closes and meet tight deadlines in a multi-project environment.
• Effective communication skills for collaborating with project teams, leadership, auditors, and external parties.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality with sensitive financial data and work independently with minimal supervision.

• 2+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 1 year of experience in a construction industry, subcontracting, or project-based services environment.
