Sr. Accountant

Description We are looking for an experienced Sr. Accountant to join a stable construction-focused organization in Carrollton, Texas. This opportunity is ideal for someone who prefers a highly hands-on accounting role with direct ownership of financial activities rather than team supervision. The position offers the chance to work closely with operational and financial data, support critical reporting processes, and contribute to a company known for long-term employee tenure and a dependable work environment.

Responsibilities:

- Oversee day-to-day cash transactions, including receipts, deposits, invoice review, coding accuracy, approval tracking, and documentation for project change orders.

- Administer customer billing activities, monitor receivables aging, maintain job cost records, track work-in-progress reporting, and prepare cash flow updates for leadership review.

- Process weekly and semi-monthly payroll accurately, including certified payroll requirements for applicable construction projects.

- Complete monthly close procedures by preparing journal entries, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, and managing sales and use tax filings.

- Prepare project-related and company financial reports, including work-in-progress schedules, lien release documentation, and workers' compensation reporting.

- Provide financial statements, receivables summaries, and supporting schedules requested by banking partners and other external stakeholders.

- Support quarterly payroll tax submissions, year-end reporting such as W-2 preparation, annual audit activities, and ongoing compliance requirements.

- Maintain accurate general ledger activity and ensure supporting documentation is organized, complete, and audit-ready. Requirements - At least 5 years of accounting experience, including substantial exposure to construction accounting environments.

- Strong working knowledge of month-end close, general ledger maintenance, journal entries, and account reconciliations.

- Experience with bank reconciliations, work-in-progress tracking, job costing, and construction-related financial reporting.

- Ability to manage payroll processing, including certified payroll, with a high degree of accuracy and confidentiality.

- Familiarity with accounting systems used in construction settings, including Sage 300 or similar ERP platforms.

- Understanding of compliance requirements related to payroll taxes, sales and use tax, lien releases, and audit support.

- Background supporting contractors or specialty trade businesses such as HVAC, mechanical, or general contracting organizations.

- Comfortable operating independently in a small accounting team and taking full ownership of day-to-day accounting responsibilities.
