Job Description

Job Description

Position Summary

We’re seeking an Accountant to join a well-established mechanical and plumbing contractor based in Hampton, NJ. This role supports day-to-day accounting operations across a steady pipeline of commercial HVAC, plumbing, and service work, working closely with both finance and operations.

This is a great fit for someone with construction or contractor accounting experience who has a strong foundation in general accounting (GL, AP/AR, reconciliations), and enjoys being involved in project-related financials without being siloed into a pure project accounting role.

Key Responsibilities

• Support full-cycle accounting including general ledger, journal entries, and month-end close
• Assist with job cost tracking, cost allocations, and project-level financial reporting
• Prepare and process AIA/progress billing, time & materials billing, and invoicing
• Manage accounts payable and receivable, including vendor invoices and collections
• Reconcile bank statements, credit cards, and balance sheet accounts
• Maintain and update WIP schedules, revenue recognition, and cost reporting
• Assist with payroll coordination, job costing integration, and labor tracking
• Support subcontractor compliance (lien waivers, insurance tracking, 1099s)
• Help with financial reporting, audit preparation, and internal documentation
• Collaborate with project managers and leadership on budgets, cost tracking, and financial visibility

Qualifications

• 3-6+ years of accounting experience (construction, contractor, or similar environment strongly preferred)
• Strong understanding of general accounting (GL, AP/AR, reconciliations, month-end close)
• Exposure to job costing, WIP schedules, and/or project-based accounting
• Experience with AIA billing, progress billing, or construction invoicing is a plus
• Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliations, reporting)
• Experience with QuickBooks, Sage (100/300), Viewpoint, Foundation, or Procore preferred
• Detail-oriented with ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with operations and project teams
• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Stable backlog of local work with long-term growth potential
