Accountant

The Financial Backbone of a Growing District Operation

Are you an accountant who wants more than month-end close and spreadsheets? Do you want to understand where the money moves, tell operations what it means, and lead the admin team that keeps a whole district running?

We're looking for an Accountant to join a nationally recognized security and life-safety solutions company with 100+ locations. This is a hybrid of hands-on accounting and real leadership: you'll own job cost, financial reporting, and district admin operations, and you'll be the trusted partner operations and project managers rely on every day.

Why You'll Love This Role

Be the Go-To Financial Partner — Work side by side with Operations and Project Managers, giving them the numbers they need to run jobs and holding the team accountable to process.

Lead, Don't Just Report — Lead the admin team, coach and develop talent, and help build a culture of engagement, recognition, and growth.

Own the System — Become the in-house expert on the company's construction accounting platform (Spectrum), protect data integrity, and train and supervise others who use it.

Real Business Impact — Manage area-level budgets and P&Ls, report on the health of the market, and recommend mitigation strategies that shape decisions.

Career Runway — Join an organization with a deep national footprint, where employees are consistently set up for advancement and growth.
