Are you a hands-on Senior Accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment? Looking to step into a high-impact role where you can partner with operations, sharpen your cost accounting expertise, and grow into the business?
This is a temp-to-hire opportunity with strong potential for long-term growth.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Unique blend of construction + manufacturing accounting
- High visibility with leadership and operations teams
- Opportunity to step in, make an immediate impact, and grow
- Collaborative, down-to-earth team (great sense of humor required)
- Build something meaningful in a growing, sustainable industry
Responsibilities
- Lead cost accounting & inventory management (labor, materials, overhead)
- Partner with factory and project teams to analyze job costs and improve performance
- Own key aspects of the month-end close (JEs, reconciliations, variance analysis)
- Manage day-to-day accounting operations (AP, AR, GL)
- Support project accounting and project administration
- Prepare sales & use tax filings (multi-state)
- Deliver financial reporting, margin analysis, and cost trends
- Assist with audits and internal controls
- Provide ad hoc analysis and support strategic initiatives
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
- 5-7+ years of progressive accounting experience
- Construction/project accounting - required
- Strong Excel skills (must-have)
- Familiarity with ERP systems (Vista Viewpoint a plus; not required)
- Experience working in fast-paced, operational environments
Someone who is:
- Adaptable, coachable, and solutions-oriented
- Comfortable jumping in and figuring things out
- Collaborative with a positive, humble attitude
- Able to work across diverse personalities
Nice-to-Have
- CPA or CMA
- Experience with Power BI, Prophix, or AutoDesk
- Background supporting project-based manufacturing or construction environments
Team & Environment
You'll be joining a small but mighty accounting team, working in an open, collaborative office environment. This is a role for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, wearing multiple hats, and being part of a growing operation.
