Junior Accountant Accounts Payable Construction Accounting

Job Description

We are seeking a motivated Junior Accountant (Accounts Payable & Construction Accounting) to join our growing team. This role is designed for someone who wants to build a long-term career in accounting and expand into higher-level responsibilities such as project accounting, job cost reporting, and financial analysis. This position reports directly to the Controller and CFO and will play a key role in maintaining our company’s internal financial records.

We’re looking for someone who is eager to learn, detail-oriented, and ready to take ownership of the role and make it their own. You’ll be joining an established, well-run finance team with clear processes and leadership support.

Experience in construction accounting is a plus — but we’re happy to train the right candidate who shows initiative and drive.

• Maintain detailed accounting schedules for accounts payable, subcontractor balances, and union remittances
• Review, code, and enter purchase orders and vendor invoices in accordance with job cost and general ledger structure
• Manage full-cycle accounts payable, including invoice review, approval workflow, and weekly payment runs
• Communicate with subcontractors and vendors to clarify invoices and collect required documentation (insurance certificates, W-9s, etc.)
• Review and maintain monthly subcontractor AIA billings for contract jobs (training provided)
• Prepare and analyze financial reports and supporting work papers (training provided)
• Assist with semi-annual and annual accounting audits
• Identify and implement process improvements to enhance financial efficiency

• 1–3 years of accounting, bookkeeping, or construction office experience preferred
• Understanding of accounts payable, general ledger, and reconciliations
• Familiarity with accounting software and reporting tools
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to spot errors and discrepancies
• Analytical thinker with solid problem-solving skills
• Self-starter who can work independently and as part of a team
• Excellent organizational and multitasking abilities
• High proficiency in Excel (filters, formulas, reconciliations)
• Willingness to learn construction-specific accounting processes

This is an opportunity to build a real accounting career, not just process invoices. You will work directly with the Controller and CFO, receive hands‑on training in construction accounting, and gain exposure to job costing, contract billing, and financial reporting. We are a stable, growing company that values accuracy, accountability, and long‑term team members.
