Senior Accountant

Senior Construction Accountant Opportunity!

About the Company

Headfarmer’s client is a long-established, nationally recognized general contractor with a reputation for excellence and innovation across a diverse mix of building and infrastructure work. They've grown their top line by roughly 30% over the past five years, carry no debt, and are investing heavily in their future. A wave of major new project wins means they're scaling quickly, and the accounting team is growing with them. Employees consistently rate it a great place to work, and the culture is refreshingly light on bureaucracy, so good ideas get implemented fast.

The Opportunity

We're looking for two accountants to join a small corporate accounting team responsible for the financial reporting of the company's operating divisions. You'll own the monthly reporting for a few divisions at a time, partnering directly with divisional leadership and senior executives. This visibility is a real advantage for anyone who wants to grow. One role is new due to growth, and the other is opening up due to a retirement.

This is a great fit for an early-career accountant with momentum, someone who wants a clear runway rather than a role they'll plateau in.

What You'll Do

• Drive the monthly close for your assigned divisions, including preparing and booking journal entries
• Build monthly divisional financial statements and forecasts, then refine them with operations as new information comes in
• Reconcile balance sheet accounts and prepare operational reconciliations
• Manage fixed asset activity, including book and tax depreciation
• Prepare and file sales and use tax returns and support broader tax analysis
• Produce recurring labor and equipment reporting for field operations
• Support budgeting, year-end close, and the annual audit
• Help modernize and streamline accounting processes as the company scales

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• 2+ years of accounting experience with exposure to construction accounting, including revenue recognition for contracts
• Solid understanding of GAAP and strong analytical skills
• Clear communicator who works well across teams and with non-finance partners
• Ability to stay organized and accurate through a cyclical workload with intense close weeks
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel

Nice to Have

• Public accounting background and an interest in moving into industry
• CPA, CPA-eligible, or working toward it (CCIFP a plus)
• State and local sales and use tax experience
• Experience with a large enterprise ERP system

Why You'll Want This Role

• A defined growth path into Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, or Controller roles, with emerging divisional finance leadership roles over time
• Direct exposure to senior leadership early in your career
• An outstanding retirement program with company contributions well above market
• Performance-based bonus, plus medical, dental, vision, and PTO
• The financial stability of a debt-free company combined with the energy of rapid growth
