This is a hands‑on accounting role with a nice variety of work. The primary accounting activity is concentrated within our electrical contracting business, Canadian marina, and two active commercial real estate/development properties. The ownership group also includes several additional LLCs, most of which simply hold land or other assets and have very limited monthly transaction activity. You’ll handle the day-to-day accounting for these businesses, including AP/AR, reconciliations, month‑end close, job and project costing, financial reporting, and intercompany activity. You’ll also work directly with ownership on real‑estate and construction projects, building cash flow models and pro‑formas that help us evaluate opportunities and make informed decisions. The role also includes supporting financing and commercial lending activities. This is a great fit for someone who enjoys the variety and ownership that comes with working in a family‑owned business environment . Rather than doing the same accounting function every day, you’ll have visibility into several businesses and projects and play an important role in keeping their financials accurate, organized, and moving forward.

You should be comfortable owning the day‑to‑day accounting while also being able to take a potential building or development project, understand the assumptions behind it, and build a financial model that helps ownership determine whether and how to move forward. We’re looking for someone who is proactive, dependable, organized, and comfortable working independently. You should be able to identify when something doesn’t look right, dig into the details, and communicate what you find. Because we are a family‑owned group of businesses, this role offers more variety and direct involvement than a traditional accounting position. You’ll work closely with ownership and have the opportunity to understand the businesses and projects behind the numbers—not just process the transactions.
