Job Description

Role Overview

We’re hiring our first in-house accountant to lead and refine our accounting function. This is a mid-career role for someone who thrives in fast-moving, hands-on environments and wants to take ownership of budgets, reporting, and financial structure across multiple projects and entities. You’ll work directly with leadership, our construction team, and our external accounting firm to ensure financial clarity, accuracy, and scalability as our project grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Budgeting & Forecasting: Lead project- and entity-level budgeting. Build clear systems to track spend, commitments, and cash flow.

• Construction Accounting: Partner with the construction team to ensure all onsite projects are billed accurately to the right customers and cost centers. Maintain WIP schedules, reconcile progress billings, and verify subcontractor payments.

• Pricing & Revenue Strategy: Work with leadership to help build out pricing models for pioneers and companies onsite — covering land use, facilities, utilities, and construction services.

• Payments & Contractor Management: Manage payments for vendors, contractors, and consultants; ensure documentation, approvals, and compliance with budget.

• Entity Consolidation: Oversee books across multiple entities; maintain clean intercompany accounting and prepare consolidated reports.

• Collaboration with External Accountants: Coordinate with our third-party accounting firm to streamline monthly closes, reporting, and tax filings.

• Tax & Compliance: Assist in planning and compliance for property and land-use taxes, as well as other state and local obligations.

• Financing & Capital Stack: Support evaluation of financing options for equipment, land, and housing projects. Help align how capital flows across entities and assets.

• Process Improvement: Improve upon existing accounting processes and systems (QuickBooks, Gusto, project tracking tools) to strengthen accuracy, consistency, and scalability.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–10 years of accounting experience, ideally in construction, real estate development, or multi-entity organizations.

• Strong understanding of job costing, GAAP, and Texas tax regulations.

• Proficiency with QuickBooks, Gusto, and Excel or equivalent ERP tools.

• Hands-on, organized, and comfortable balancing day-to-day execution with long-term financial design.

• CPA preferred but not required.
