  • Support leadership with accurate financial data related to projects and company performance
  • Work closely with operations and project management teams to ensure financial accuracy on projects
Qualifications
  • Prior accounting experience within a construction company is required
  • Strong understanding of construction accounting processes, including job costing, division codes, and change orders
  • Experience using ComputerEase accounting software is strongly preferred
  • Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Ability to manage high volumes of financial transactions accurately
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Self-starter who can work independently and maintain reliable financial processes
Compensation
