A bit about us:
We're a well-established, PE-backed specialty contractor with decades of history in the industry and a reputation for craftsmanship that's hard to match. Rather than leaning on subcontractors, we keep our project teams in-house — which means quality and accountability are baked into everything we do. We're growing, investing in new systems and technology (including an ERP and field-service platform implementation), and building out a stronger, more senior accounting function to support that growth.
Why join us?
Newly elevated role with full ownership over project accounting — not a seat you're inheriting someone else's structure in
PE-backed growth means investment in systems, tools, and headcount, not just talk about it
High-visibility partnership with project managers and operations leadership from day one
Broad scope — full project accounting plus exposure to general accounting and system implementation work
Established, stable company with decades of market credibility and a strong reputation for craftsmanship
In-house delivery model (no reliance on subcontractors) means the numbers you're tracking reflect direct operational control, not a patchwork of vendors
Job Details
This individual will play a key role in month-end close, project accounting, WIP reporting, job cost analysis, and supporting operational teams throughout the organization. The role will also assist with ongoing system and process improvements, including ERP and field-service platform implementation efforts, and will carry other general accounting responsibilities.

Help improve accounting workflows, reporting accuracy, and internal controls
Support audit requests and preparation of supporting documentation
Participate in ad hoc financial analysis and special projects as needed
Perform general accounting and operational accounting responsibilities in support of the broader accounting & finance team

Minimum of 7 years of accounting experience required
Construction or project-based accounting experience required

What We're Looking For We are looking for a strong accounting professional who is proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to make an impact. The ideal candidate is someone who can operate both strategically and tactically — capable of handling day-to-day accounting responsibilities while also helping improve systems, processes, and financial visibility across the organization.
