Senior Accountant

Reports To: Corporate Controller Compensation: $95,000 – $115,000 (Based on Experience) Bonus: Quarterly Bonuses (Individual & Business Performance) Our client is a family-owned industrial specialty contractor serving the Texas market. The company is big enough to handle Tier 1 commercial projects but small enough that you will know everyone’s name. As the company begins to execute the next leg of their growth strategy, they are seeking a Senior Accountant to serve as the backbone of the financial reporting team. This role is ideal for a hands-on technician who values stability, wants to be part of an M&A growth story, and prefers a collaborative team over a "churn-and-burn" corporate environment. Stability & Growth: Family-owned business with a long-term hold strategy, not a "buy-and-flip" PE target. Mentorship: Work directly with a CFO and Controller who prioritize professional development (including support for CMA/CPA maintenance). Tenure & Stability: This is a stable business that’s been operating for over 30 years and is entering an exciting new stage of growth. There are many long-tenured employees, and the environment supports both career growth and longevity-rooted in a results-driven culture that values getting the work done, not watching the clock. Maturity & Modernization : The company is entering a maturity phase of its growth, with a clear commitment to strengthening internal infrastructure. Leadership is focused on improving processes, streamlining workflows, and investing meaningfully in the finance function to ensure the business is well-positioned to scale thoughtfully and sustainably. Impact: A Company that is big enough to matter (Tier 1 projects) but small enough that your work directly impacts the bottom line What the Senior Accountant will do: Cost Accounting & WIP: This is the heartbeat of our business. You will partner with Project Managers to review Job Cost reports, analyze labor productivity, and ensure costs are coded correctly to projects vs. GL expense accounts. Own the Close: Lead the month-end closing process, including complex journal entries, accruals, and balance sheet reconciliations (Cash, Prepaids, Fixed Assets, Debt). M&A Support: Assist the CFO and Controller with due diligence for potential acquisitions and help integrate new companies into our financial reporting structure. Complex Reconciliations: Own and resolve complex balance sheet and project-related reconciliations, researching historical discrepancies, identifying root causes, and ensuring subledgers, job cost reports, and the GL are accurate and fully supported. System Optimization: The business currently uses Foundation Software . You will maximize its utility today while helping prepare for a future ERP migration (e.g., to NetSuite) as the business scales. Process Integrity: You are the "Quality Control" for our financial data. You catch errors before they hit the financial statements. The "Right Fit" Senior Accountant: Highly Inquisitive: You prefer to understand the “Why” behind your work products rather than just the “What” and translate those insights into overall business improvements. Technical over Tactical: You prefer digging into a complex reconciliation or building a clean Excel model over managing a large team of staff. Change Ready: You aren't intimidated by the idea of moving from a legacy system (Foundation) to a modern ERP. You view a system migration as a challenge, not a headache. Team Oriented: This is a "leave our egos at the door" environment and we help each other out during the busy close cycle. Qualifications for the Senior Accountant: Experience: 4+ years of accounting experience Construction, Manufacturing, or Industrial Services industry exposure a plus Background in Public Accounting & Industry Accounting ideal Education: B.S. in Accounting or Finance required. Certifications: CMA (Certified Management Accountant) is preferred. CPA is a plus but not required. Tech Stack: Experience with Foundation Software would be great but advanced Excel skills (Pivots, Lookups, SumIfs) are non-negotiable. Experience with an ERP implementation/migration is a huge plus. #J-18808-Ljbffr Core6 Talent
