This is a highly visible, operational accounting position supporting a growing organization with significant project activity throughout the Treasure Valley. While the company has the resources and stability of an established general contractor, the local environment has an entrepreneurial feel where people wear multiple hats, work closely with operations, and have the opportunity to expand their responsibilities over time.

Manage jobsite compliance requirements including certified payroll, wrap-up insurance programs, and related project reporting
Review vendor accounts and recurring billing arrangements to resolve discrepancies and maintain payment accuracy
Support billing, accounts payable, workflow, and profitability reporting

Understanding of GAAP-based accounting practices
Experience working in an operational accounting environment where accounting partners closely with the business

Why Consider This Opportunity?
This isn't a narrow Senior Accountant role.
You'll join an established organization with significant project activity, while working within a team that operates with the flexibility and entrepreneurial mindset of a much smaller company. The position provides exposure across corporate accounting, projects, operations, payroll compliance, and financial reporting, creating a strong foundation for someone who wants to continue progressing toward broader accounting leadership responsibilities.
For the right person, there is meaningful long-term upward mobility and exposure to increasingly complex projects and responsibilities.
