Staff Accountant

Robert Half

Job Description

Job Description

Our client is seeking a Staff Accountant to join their team. This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who wants to build both corporate and construction accounting experience while working for an organization known for its strong culture, employee retention, and opportunities for advancement.

The ideal candidate will have experience with general accounting functions as well as exposure to construction accounting, including AIA billing, WIP reporting, and job cost analysis.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare journal entries, account reconciliations, and supporting schedules
  • Assist with monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close processes
  • Support preparation of financial statements and management reporting
  • Analyze balance sheet and income statement accounts to ensure accuracy
  • Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
  • Maintain work-in-progress (WIP) schedules and support project reporting
  • Prepare and process AIA billings and related customer invoicing
  • Monitor job costs and assist with project profitability reporting
  • Work closely with project managers and operational leaders to ensure accurate financial data
  • Support annual audits and special accounting projects

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 2+ years of accounting experience
  • Construction accounting experience preferred
  • Experience with AIA billing, WIP reporting, or job costing strongly preferred
  • Knowledge of general ledger accounting, reconciliations, and month-end close
  • Strong Excel and financial systems experience
  • Detail-oriented with strong analytical and organizational skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Strong employee retention and a collaborative workplace culture
  • Clear path for career growth and internal advancement
  • Exposure to both corporate accounting and project-based accounting functions
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including health, retirement, and paid time off
  • Stable, financially sound organization with a long-term outlook
  • Leadership team that values employee development and promotes from within

This role is ideal for an accountant looking to expand their experience beyond traditional corporate accounting and gain valuable exposure to construction accounting while building a long-term career with a highly respected employer.
