Remote Sage 100 Contractor Bookkeeper (Construction Accounting)

You know construction accounting. You know Sage 100 Contractor. And you take pride in getting it right.

At Syscon, we help construction companies stay accurate, organized, and in control of their financials. This role is focused on supporting a portfolio of clients through outsourced bookkeeping, payroll, and day-to-day accounting support within Sage 100 Contractor.

This is a hands-on role for someone who takes ownership of their work, manages multiple priorities, and follows through without needing constant direction.

This is a senior-level, client-facing accounting role requiring deep Sage 100 Contractor expertise.

This role is designed for someone who wants to build long-term stability in a hands-on, client-facing accounting position.
______________________________________________________________________________

What You’ll Do

• This is a client-facing role requiring regular communication, follow-up, and the ability to guide clients through day-to-day accounting questions.

• Manage day-to-day accounting functions in Sage 100 Contractor for a portfolio of construction clients, balancing multiple clients with varying levels of complexity and deadlines

• Process payroll inside Sage 100 Contractor, including taxes and filings

• Perform bank reconciliations, sales tax filings, and month-end close tasks

• Support clients with routine accounting needs and system questions

• Maintain accurate records and a clean audit trail across all client work

• Identify issues, resolve them, or escalate when needed

• Communicate clearly with clients and follow through on commitments

______________________________________________________________________

What This Role Is (and Is Not)
This role IS:

• Hands-on accounting and payroll work

• Managing a book of clients

• Working independently with a high level of ownership

• Supporting real, day-to-day client needs

This role is NOT:

• Primarily implementations

• High-level ERP consulting strategy

• Report writing or data analytics (we have a dedicated team for that)

This Role Is Not a Fit For

• Candidates without recent, hands-on Sage 100 Contractor experience

• Those coming from corporate accounting environments without client-facing responsibility

• Individuals who prefer highly structured environments with constant direction

• Candidates who struggle managing multiple clients or shifting priorities

• Those looking for a stepping stone into consulting or ERP strategy roles

______________________________________________________________________
What You Bring (Required)

• 5+ years of experience with Sage 100 Contractor (non-negotiable)

• Recent, hands-on use of Sage 100 Contractor in a production environment

• Strong construction accounting knowledge, including job costing, WIP, progress billing, and AP/AR

• Experience processing payroll within Sage 100 Contractor

• Hands-on bookkeeping experience (not just reviewing or overseeing)

• Ability to manage multiple clients or priorities independently

• Strong organization and follow-through

• Comfort working in a high-autonomy environment

What Success Looks Like

• Clients trust your accuracy and responsiveness

• Deadlines are consistently met across your client portfolio

• Books are clean, reconciled, and audit-ready

• Payroll and filings are accurate and on time

• Clients rely on you as their go-to for day-to-day accounting support

What Makes You Stand Out

• Experience working across multiple construction companies (not just one)

• Union payroll experience

• Ability to explain accounting concepts clearly to non-accountants

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, client-driven environment

If you enjoy owning your work, managing your own clients, and being the person they rely on to keep their financials clean and on track, this role will fit well.
