ABOUT THE ROLE

Our client, an established construction company, is building out its accounting department and is looking for a hands-on Staff Accountant to help stabilize and strengthen operations. The immediate focus of this position is heavy Accounts Payable and A/P administration — well beyond basic invoice entry — while the department gets settled. Over time, this role is designed to grow into a broader staff accountant position and become a right-hand to the accounting leadership.

This is a long-term opportunity for a polished, detail-oriented self-starter who wants to grow with the company — not a stepping stone for someone chasing the next title or salary bump.

WHAT YOU'LL DO — IMMEDIATE FOCUS (ACCOUNTS PAYABLE)

  • Own the full-cycle A/P process from invoice receipt through payment — not just data entry

  • Communicate professionally with vendors, subcontractors, project managers, and internal staff
  • Support subcontractor compliance tracking and high-volume invoice processing

GROWTH RESPONSIBILITIES (OVER TIME)

  • Support month-end close, journal entries, and general ledger maintenance
  • Assist with construction billing, retainage, and pay applications
  • Contribute to project accounting and broader staff accountant duties
  • Grow into a trusted right-hand role within the accounting team

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR — REQUIRED

  • Minimum 1 year  of construction accounting experience — with 2+ years strongly preferred
  • Hands-on, full-cycle Accounts Payable experience with real volume (not entry-level invoice entry only)
  • Experience with job cost coding in a construction environment
  • Strong Excel skills and solid accounting judgment
  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy
  • Polished, professional communication and a self-starter mindset
  • Interest in a long-term role with room to grow

PREFERRED / NICE TO HAVE

  • Procore experience (being implemented now — a plus, but you can learn it alongside the team; not required)
  • Sage 300 CRE (Timberline) and/or QuickBooks experience
  • Experience with retainage, lien waivers, subcontractor invoices, and pay applications

WHY THIS ROLE

You'll join a company at a pivotal moment for its accounting function, with the opportunity to make an immediate impact on A/P operations and grow into a broader, more strategic staff accountant role as a key member of the team.
