Overview:

Reporting directly to the CFO and ownership, this role will lead a lean accounting team—including a Director of AP & AR and three accounting clerks—and serve as the financial backbone of the organization.

• Drive cash flow forecasting, tracking, and analysis across 10–15 active commercial projects
• Oversee month-end close, financial reporting, and general ledger accuracy
• Implement and enforce internal controls, accounting policies, and procedures
• Lead and mentor the accounting team; develop structure and accountability within the department
• Collaborate with project management and operations to align financial data with job progress
• Prepare for and manage external audits
• Support compliance, tax filings, and financial planning initiatives

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA a plus
• 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, including prior construction industry experience (GC level strongly preferred)
• Deep understanding of WIP schedules, construction project accounting, and cash flow management
• Experience leading accounting teams and building/improving financial processes
• Hands-on systems experience with Sage and Procore preferred
• Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills
• Demonstrated job stability and long-term impact in previous roles

Cultural Fit:

• This is a family-owned company with a hands-on, collaborative culture. The right candidate will bring both strong financial discipline and the interpersonal skills needed to thrive in a relationship-driven environment.
