Looking for a high-impact, autonomous accounting role with a fast-paced, multi-division construction and real estate development firm? Join a dynamic leadership team in the Salem area as a Full Charge Bookkeeper and take true ownership of the books!

As a Full Charge Bookkeeper, you will manage full-cycle accounting across four distinct business divisions and related entities—handling everything from daily transactions and multi-state payroll through trial balance, job costing, and monthly financial reporting for executive leadership and outside CPAs.

  • Handling construction job costing, WIP schedules, AIA-style progress billing, lien waivers, subcontractor compliance, COI tracking, and 1099 preparation.
  • Processing multi-state payroll (Oregon and Arizona), certified payroll reporting, quarterly and annual payroll tax filings, W-2s, sales tax, and state contractor licensing (CCB) filings.
  • Leading month-end closes across all entities and preparing consolidated, division-level, and project-level P&Ls and balance sheet reconciliations.
  • Providing weekly cash position and cash flow updates to the COO and coordinating with outside CPAs for year-end tax prep and audits.
  • Tracking construction loan draws, interest reserves, and disbursements, while reconciling draw requests against project budgets and maintaining loan covenant compliance.

What You’ll Bring:
The ideal candidate for this role will have:
  • 5+ years of hands-on, full-cycle bookkeeping experience.
  • Direct construction industry accounting experience (job costing, WIP schedules, AIA billing, and lien waivers) required.
  • Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks (Online and/or Desktop) and strong Microsoft Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, basic financial modeling).
  • Demonstrated experience managing multi-entity books and intercompany reconciliations.
  • Solid grasp of GAAP principles and accrual vs. cash basis accounting.
  • Experience with construction management software (Procore, Buildertrend), multi-state payroll (OR/AZ), commercial real estate/development accounting, LIHTC/affordable housing finance, or Notary Public status is strongly preferred.

Why Join Us in Salem?
