Accounts Payable Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Salary: 65,000 - 85,000

At David Nice Builders, we craft construction masterpieces through integrity, enduring relationships, and passionate people. We're looking for a sharp, detail-driven financial operations professional to join our team as Accounts Payable Manager, a role that sits at the nerve center of our company's financial engine.

About DNB DNB is a Virginia-based commercial construction company operating across four divisions with roughly 170 employees. We are a company that promotes from within, invests in the people who deliver results, and gives capable people room to grow into the full weight of their role.

Position Overview This is not a heads-down, process-the-stack AP role. The AP Manager at DNB is a critical operational leader who reports directly to the CFO and carries real authority across a four-division construction organization. You'll own the full AP function, handling everything from subcontractor invoice compliance and pay run management to cash flow projections and year-end 1099 filing. If you've been the person who catches the problem before it becomes a crisis, knows the compliance status of every subcontractor in the queue, and can hold a biweekly pay run together without dropping a thread, we want to talk. That includes candidates who have been doing this work at the senior specialist or lead level and are ready to own it formally.

What You'll Do

• Own the full AP cycle across all four divisions, ensuring invoice accuracy, proper coding, and timely entry into Vista by Viewpoint.
• Manage subcontractor invoice compliance, including certificates of insurance, W-9s, and contractor licenses, and serve as the primary point of contact for vendor and subcontractor setup.
• Prepare and distribute a detailed weekly cash flow projection across all divisions to the VP, CFO, Controller, and Client Services Manager.
• Run biweekly pay cycles (10th and 25th), including the AP Cash Requirements Report, check preparation, ACH/wire processing, and Positive Pay submission to the bank.
• Prepare monthly analytic reports, identify cost drivers, and propose options to management.
• Handle annual 1099 preparation and filing, GL/WC audit support, and real estate tax processing.
• Interface directly with project management and production teams on invoice approvals, committed costs, and subcontract compliance. You are the financial reality check in that relationship.

What We're Looking For We care about what you've done and what you're capable of, not just what your title has been. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate:

• Hands-on AP experience in construction, job-cost accounting, or a similarly complex, high-volume multi-entity environment. Construction industry experience is a meaningful differentiator, not a hard requirement.
• The ability to manage competing deadlines, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual, without losing accuracy or composure.
• Familiarity with Vista by Viewpoint or comparable construction accounting software (Sage, Foundation, CMiC). Vista proficiency sets you apart.
• Solid Excel skills and comfort working across Outlook, Word, and electronic payment platforms.
• A compliance mindset. COIs, W-9s, lien waivers, and audit documentation should feel like second nature, not afterthoughts.
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication. You'll interact regularly with the CFO, VP, Controller, PMs, and external vendors.
• Discretion. You'll handle sensitive financial, legal, and vendor information and be trusted to handle it right.

You might be a great fit if you are:

• An experienced AP Manager ready to bring your full skill set to a role where you'll have direct impact and direct access to leadership.
• A senior AP specialist or AP lead who has been running the function in all but title and is ready for the role to reflect the responsibility.
• A construction accounting professional from a subcontractor or GC environment who knows subcontract compliance and pay run management from the inside and is ready to step up.

Why Join Us?

• Direct access to senior leadership. You'll work closely with the CFO and VP in a company of 170 people, not buried in a department of twenty.
• A company that builds careers alongside buildings. If you have the drive and the capability, there is a path here.
• Stability and intentionality. DNB has been building in this region for decades. We hire carefully, develop deliberately, and retain the people who invest in us.
• Competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package.
