    This is a hands-on accounting role with ownership of the day-to-day accounting cycle, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank reconciliations, and multi-state sales and use tax. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working independently while partnering closely with the Controller on month-end close, reporting, and other accounting needs.

    • Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable
    • Process the full AP cycle, including vendor invoice entry, three-way matching against purchase orders and project commitments, approval routing, and timely payment runs
    • Manage AR billing, customer invoicing, application of payments, and collections follow-up on aged balances

    • Track project-related costs and progress billings in coordination with project managers
    • Bank Reconciliations and Cash
    • Perform monthly reconciliations for all operating and project accounts
    • Reconcile daily cash activity between bank accounts and QuickBooks Online
    • Reconcile corporate credit card activity and ensure proper coding and receipt support
    • Monitor daily cash position and assist with cash-flow reporting
    • Sales and Use Tax
    • Prepare and file multi-state sales and use tax returns, including PA, NJ, and additional project-state jurisdictions as required
    • Track taxability of equipment, project, and service revenue across jurisdictions and maintain exemption certificates
    • Support nexus monitoring and registration in new states as the company's geographic footprint expands
    • General Ledger and Close
    • Record journal entries, accruals, and prepaid amortizations
    • Reconcile balance sheet accounts and support a timely and accurate month-end close
    • Assist the Controller with year-end audit and tax preparation support and external accountant requests
    • Help maintain and improve accounting processes, internal controls, and documentation


    What You'll Bring to the Table:

    • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
    • Minimum of 5 years of progressive accounting experience covering AR/AP, bank reconciliations, and sales tax
    • Proficiency in QuickBooks and strong Microsoft Excel skills
    • Demonstrated experience preparing multi-state sales and use tax filings
    • Solid understanding of GAAP and the full general ledger and month-end close cycle
    • High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to independently manage multiple deadlines

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience in construction, engineering, energy, manufacturing, or another project-based industry
    • Familiarity with job costing and percentage-of-completion or project-based revenue recognition
    • Experience supporting an external audit


    Why This Opportunity?

    • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
