• Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• 2+ years of accounting experience with exposure to construction accounting, including revenue recognition for contracts
• Solid understanding of GAAP and strong analytical skills
• Clear communicator who works well across teams and with non-finance partners
• Ability to stay organized and accurate through a cyclical workload with intense close weeks
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel

Nice to Have

• Public xuwmhxw accounting background and an interest in moving into industry

Why You'll Want This Role

• Direct exposure to senior leadership early in your career
• An outstanding retirement program with company contributions well above market
• Performance-based bonus, plus medical, dental, vision, and PTO
• The financial stability of a debt-free company combined with the energy of rapid growth
