Key responsibilities include owning key areas across financial reporting, close, job costing, WIP, payroll, tax reporting, contracts, AP/AR, budgeting, and internal controls. Additionally, you will partner directly with Project Managers and operational leadership to understand job costs, projections, margins, and overall project performance.
