Staff Accountant

Staff Accountant

Salary: $70,000-$90,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Our client is a well-established, family-owned construction organization with years of success, a strong reputation in Wisconsin, and a commitment to building lasting relationships with its customers and employees.
• The Staff Accountant will join a collaborative team where leadership values its people, encourages professional development, and creates an environment where employees feel appreciated and supported.
• This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the construction industry, work with a variety of accounting functions, and build a strong foundation for long-term career growth.
• The benefits package goes beyond the basics, offering health and dental coverage, a 401(k) with potential profit-sharing contributions, paid time off, paid holidays, potential annual bonuses, and ongoing opportunity for internal promotion.
• The culture is a major differentiator! Employees enjoy team outings, summer picnics, Brewers games, volunteer opportunities, free snacks and beverages, and even an on-site workout facility and chiropractor. Our client has also been recognized as a Top Workplace year after year.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support month-end close activities, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and general ledger maintenance.
• Assist with financial reporting, expense tracking, and the preparation of accurate financial statements.
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and balance sheet accounts while researching and resolving discrepancies.
• Help maintain accurate financial records related to construction projects, including job costs, expenses, and project-related transactions.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent relevant accounting experience.
• 3+ years experience with general accounting, reconciliations, journal entries, or month-end close, ideally in construction.
• A proactive, team-oriented professional who enjoys problem-solving, learning new systems, and growing within a collaborative environment.
