Senior Staff Accountant

Location: Halethorpe

Senior Staff Accountant
Confidential Construction Company | Baltimore, MD | $90,000 - $100,000
About the Opportunity
A rapidly growing, private equity-backed construction services company in Baltimore is seeking a Senior Staff Accountant to join its expanding accounting team. With strong revenue growth (projected ~$70M in 2026) and increased operational complexity, this is a newly created role designed to support enhanced cost accounting and Work-in-Progress (WIP) processes.

This position offers a high-impact opportunity to collaborate closely with project teams, influence financial processes, and grow into future leadership roles within the organization.
Why This Role Stands Out

• Clear career path to Controller → Head of Accounting
• Direct mentorship from highly experienced leadership (~25 years in WIP & construction accounting)
• Opportunity to build and improve SOPs and accounting processes
• Significant exposure to cost accounting and WIP cycles
• Private office and strong internal visibility
• Backed by a reputable private equity partner, fueling continued growth

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee and support AR, AP, and payroll sub-ledgers
• Serve as the primary liaison between accounting and project management teams
• Manage and analyze:
  • Change orders
  • Missing or delayed job costs
  • Billing gaps and discrepancies
• Execute core accounting functions:
  • Month-end close
  • Journal entries
  • Bank reconciliations
• Maintain and track fixed assets and depreciation (heavy equipment focus)
• Own and update Work-in-Progress (WIP) schedules:
  • Multi-month WIP cycles (~6 months)
  • Detailed job-level profitability analysis

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field
• 3-7+ years of accounting experience (construction industry strongly preferred)
• Hands-on experience with WIP and/or cost accounting highly preferred
• Strong understanding of job costing and project-based accounting
• Experience with Vista / Viewpoint or similar ERP systems a plus
• Ability to work cross-functionally with operations and project teams
• Detail-oriented with strong analytical skills

Compensation & Work Environment

• Base Salary: $90,000 - $100,000
• Bonus: Up to 10%
• Schedule: ~45 hours/week
  • Option for 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM or 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
• Work Arrangement: 100% on-site (Baltimore, MD)
• Culture: Collaborative, fast-paced, early-start environment typical of construction
• Tools: Company-provided laptop
