Job Details

The Assistant Controller will take primary responsibility for overseeing the Accounts Payable team and AP function supporting multiple entities. This includes vendor management and oversight of 1099s, making strong Accounts Payable knowledge and prior people-management experience especially important.

Beyond AP, this individual will work closely with accounting leadership and assist with broader accounting responsibilities, including:

Lead and support the Accounts Payable team
Oversee vendor management across multiple entities
Manage the 1099 process
Support month-end close
Prepare and review account reconciliations and work papers
Assist with fixed asset accounting
Support accurate general ledger activity and financial reporting

Partner with accounting leadership as priorities arise
Successfully pivot between priorities when unexpected needs develop
Work within Vista by Viewpoint

The prior job description also includes GAAP reporting, reconciliation of subsidiary ledgers to the general ledger, job costing, expense allocations, internal controls and audit support among the position's broader accounting responsibilities.

Schedule: Full-time, onsite
Compensation: $110,000-$130,000 base salary
Bonus: Annual discretionary bonus
Additional Hours: Some overtime during month-end close

What We're Looking For
Previous accounting management/leadership experience
Strong Accounts Payable knowledge
Experience overseeing or working closely with vendors and vendor processes
Experience with 1099s
Strong general accounting foundation
Experience with month-end close, reconciliations/work papers and fixed assets
Strong Excel skills
Experience with Vista by Viewpoint is highly valuable
Ability to prioritize, problem-solve and change direction when business needs shift

The older description calls for a bachelor's degree with an Accounting emphasis, 7-10+ years of professional accounting experience within construction, and Viewpoint knowledge. Since this is an older document, I'd keep those out of the public posting as absolute requirements unless the Sr. Controller confirms they're still required.
