Construction Client Accountant

Construction Client Accountant Remote | Construction Accounting | Sage 100 Contractor | Client Facing If you're an experienced construction accountant who enjoys working directly with clients, solving day-to-day accounting challenges, and managing a variety of work, this may be a great fit at Syscon. Recent, hands-on Sage 100 Contractor experience is required. Sage 100 Contractor is a specific product. Experience with Sage 100, Sage 300 CRE/Timberline, Sage Intacct, Sage 50, or other Sage products does not satisfy this requirement. Candidates should be able to step into Sage 100 Contractor and work independently with only a brief refresher, not require training on the system. You must also have direct, hands-on construction accounting experience personally preparing WIP, performing job costing, processing payroll, handling progress billing, completing reconciliations, and performing month-end close. Experience with other construction accounting systems may be valuable, but it does not replace the Sage 100 Contractor requirement.
