• Reconcile general ledger accounts, bank activity, and other balance sheet items to resolve discrepancies promptly.

• Perform detailed job costing reviews and analyze project-related financial information to support better business decisions.

• Assist with accounting system conversion efforts, including activities tied to moving from QuickBooks to Sage Intacct.

• Support the shift to accrual-based financial reporting by improving schedules, processes, and accounting documentation.

• Work closely with operational leaders and the Corporate Controller to address reporting needs and accounting issues.

• Help strengthen internal accounting procedures and controls within the acquired business entity.

• Contribute to special projects connected to acquisition integration and finance process improvement initiatives.

• Prior experience working at the Senior Accountant level with strong ownership of core accounting functions.
• Demonstrated ability to manage month-end close independently with limited supervision.
• Solid background in general ledger accounting, journal entries, and account reconciliations.
• Hands-on job costing experience, preferably within construction, roofing, manufacturing, or other project-driven environments.
• Familiarity with accounting system implementations, upgrades, or data conversion projects.
• Working knowledge of accrual accounting principles and financial reporting practices.
• Advanced Excel skills and the ability to analyze financial information efficiently.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to operate effectively in an on-site, fast-moving setting.
