Accounts Officer

About the Role

You’ll be the financial backbone behind our active projects. This isn’t a desk-only numbers job—you’ll work closely with project managers, site engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers to keep cash flowing, costs tracked, and compliance tight. If you’ve spent time in the contracting world, you already know the pace, the paperwork, and the precision it takes. We’ll give you the tools, autonomy, and team support to do your best work.

What You’ll Do

• Manage day-to-day accounting: accounts payable, receivable, payroll allocations, and general ledger maintenance
• Track project costs by job and cost code, flagging variances early so margins stay protected
• Prepare and submit progress billings, manage retainage schedules, and maintain accurate WIP reports
• Verify subcontractor and supplier invoices, collect lien waivers, and ensure payment compliance
• Support cash flow forecasting and help plan funding cycles around project milestones
• Assist with month-end close, financial reporting, and external audit preparation
• Review change orders, update project budgets, and collaborate with site teams to improve financial workflows
• Keep our accounting systems clean, organized, and ready for real-time decision-making

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of accounting experience, with a strong preference for candidates who’ve worked in a contracting, construction, or project-based environment
• Hands-on knowledge of job costing, progress billing, retainage, WIP accounting, and change order tracking
• advanced Excel (pivot tables, lookups, basic macros)
• A sharp eye for detail, but also the ability to step back and explain the “so what?” behind the numbers
• Strong communication skills—you’ll translate financial data for project managers, executives, and vendors
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
• Self-starter mindset: proactive, organized, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
