Construction Senior Accountant

$115k - $130k
Full-time

Ledgent Finance & Accounting

Senior Accountant (Temp-to-Hire)

Hybrid Schedule
Growing Construction & Manufacturing Company



$115K-$130K + Strong Potential for Direct Hire

Ready to Make an Immediate Impact?

We're looking for a hands-on Senior Accountant who enjoys partnering with operations, solving problems, and helping drive business performance.

This is a temp-to-hire opportunity with excellent visibility, meaningful responsibilities, and long-term growth potential.

Why This Role Stands Out

✅ Unique blend of construction + manufacturing accounting

✅ High visibility with leadership and operations teams

✅ Opportunity to make an immediate impact

✅ Collaborative, down-to-earth culture (a good sense of humor helps )

✅ Join a growing company in a sustainable, evolving industry

What You'll Be Doing

Cost Accounting & Operations

* Lead cost accounting and inventory management
* Analyze labor, material, and overhead costs
* Partner with factory and project teams to improve performance
* Monitor job costs and profitability

Month-End Close & Financial Reporting

* Prepare journal entries and account reconciliations
* Perform variance and margin analysis
* Support financial reporting and cost trend analysis
* Assist with audits and internal controls

Accounting & Project Support

* Oversee day-to-day accounting activities (AP, AR, and GL)
* Support project accounting and project administration
* Prepare multi-state sales and use tax filings
* Provide ad hoc analysis and support strategic initiatives

✅ What We're Looking For

Required Experience

✔ Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

5-7+ years of progressive accounting experience

Construction or project accounting experience required

✔ Strong Microsoft Excel skills

✔ Experience in fast-paced, operational environments

✔ Familiarity with ERP systems (Vista Viewpoint experience is a plus)

Success Traits

You're someone who is:

✅ Adaptable and coachable

✅ Solutions-oriented

✅ Comfortable rolling up your sleeves and figuring things out

✅ Collaborative and humble

✅ Able to build relationships across diverse teams and personalities

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

⭐ CPA or CMA

⭐ Experience with Power BI, Prophix, or AutoDesk

⭐ Manufacturing or construction industry experience

⭐ Project-based accounting background

Team & Environment

You'll join a small but mighty accounting team in a highly collaborative environment where everyone contributes.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys:

  • Wearing multiple hats
  • Working closely with operations
  • Taking ownership
  • Helping build and improve processes

Interested?

If you're looking for a high-impact accounting role with the opportunity to grow into a long-term position, we'd love to connect.
