Partner cross-functionally with operations and project management as a trusted business partner
Support continuous improvement of financial controls, processes, and reporting
Learn and eventually take ownership of day-to-day accounting operations, including AP/AR, month-end close, general ledger, compliance, and payroll coordination, currently supported through AI-driven tools, with hands-on training provided
Grow into managing WIP and POC accounting, including related journal entries and schedules, as part of your development toward the Controller role
Eventually manage the annual audit process and serve as primary liaison to the external CPA firm as you take on more accounting ownership

Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret financial data and communicate it clearly to non-finance stakeholders
Construction industry background, with an understanding of WIP and percentage-of-completion concepts a plus
High proficiency in Excel
Business-partnering mindset with a desire to be useful to operations, not just accurate in a back office

Detail-oriented, adaptable, and comfortable moving quickly in a growing environment
Willingness to learn and grow into full accounting ownership over time, with training provided
Growth mindset with ambition
