Construction Senior Accountant

$115k - $130k

Ledgent

Senior Accountant (Temp-to-Hire)

?? Hybrid | Fast-Growing Construction / Manufacturing Company
?? $115K-$130K + Opportunity to Convert to Direct Hire

Are you a hands-on Senior Accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment? Looking to step into a high-impact role where you can partner with operations, sharpen your cost accounting expertise, and grow into the business?

This is a temp-to-hire opportunity with strong potential for long-term growth.

?? Why This Role Stands Out

  • Unique blend of construction + manufacturing accounting
  • High visibility with leadership and operations teams
  • Opportunity to step in, make an immediate impact, and grow
  • Collaborative, down-to-earth team (great sense of humor required ??)
  • Build something meaningful in a growing, sustainable industry
?? What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead cost accounting & inventory management (labor, materials, overhead)
  • Partner with factory and project teams to analyze job costs and improve performance
  • Own key aspects of the month-end close (JEs, reconciliations, variance analysis)
  • Manage day-to-day accounting operations (AP, AR, GL)
  • Support project accounting and project administration
  • Prepare sales & use tax filings (multi-state)
  • Deliver financial reporting, margin analysis, and cost trends
  • Assist with audits and internal controls
  • Provide ad hoc analysis and support strategic initiatives
? What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 5-7+ years of progressive accounting experience
  • Construction/project accounting - required
  • Strong Excel skills (must-have)
  • Familiarity with ERP systems (Vista Viewpoint a plus; not required)
  • Experience working in fast-paced, operational environments
  • Someone who is:
    • Adaptable, coachable, and solutions-oriented
    • Comfortable jumping in and figuring things out
    • Collaborative with a positive, humble attitude
    • Able to work across diverse personalities
?? Nice-to-Have

  • CPA or CMA
  • Experience with Power BI, Prophix, or AutoDesk
  • Background supporting project-based manufacturing or construction environments
?? Team & Environment

You'll be joining a small but mighty accounting team , working in an open, collaborative office environment. This is a role for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, wearing multiple hats, and being part of a growing operation.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, national origin, age, ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, disability, medical condition, genetic information, pregnancy, or military or veteran status. We consider all qualified applicants, including those with criminal histories, in a manner consistent with state and local laws, including the California Fair Chance Act, City of Los Angeles' Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, and Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance.
