At D+H Construction, we build innovative projects, lasting client relationships, and strong careers for our team. Founded in 1981, we are a mid-sized, established general contractor specializing in multi-family affordable housing for leading nonprofit developers across the Bay Area.

Why Join D+H

• Work closely with experienced leaders in a collaborative, high-performing environment
• Be part of a company that is established, stable, and growing
• Contribute to meaningful projects that expand affordable housing in the Bay Area
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Inclusive, respectful, and team-oriented culture

The Role

This is a senior, hands-on accounting role responsible for ensuring accuracy across job cost, accounts payable, payroll, and billing for active construction projects. Unlike a traditional Project Accountant role, this position focuses on cross-functional accounting operations, controls, and system accuracy, serving as a key partner to Operations, Payroll, and the broader Accounting team.

This role does not have direct reports but carries significant ownership and visibility, particularly as we continue to enhance processes and transition from Sage 300 to Acumatica.

What You’ll Do

Project + Operational Accounting

• Own the accuracy and flow of financial data across job cost, AP, payroll, and billing
• Partner with Project Managers and Operations to ensure alignment between budgets, costs, and billings
• Support WIP reporting, cost-to-complete tracking, and month-end close processes

Accounts Payable + Subcontract Controls

• Oversee subcontractor and vendor payment workflows, ensuring accuracy and completeness
• Review pay applications, schedules of values, and change order alignment
• Maintain integrity of commitment and compliance documentation

Payroll + Labor Compliance (Partner Role)

• Partner with payroll to support accurate processing across salaried, hourly, union, and prevailing wage environments
• Review labor distribution, wage application, and certified payroll reporting for accuracy
• Assist with reconciliations, accruals, and compliance-related processes

Billing + Accounts Receivable

• Support preparation and review of client billings (AIA, T&M, preconstruction)
• Ensure alignment between budgets, schedules of values, and approved change orders
• Track retention and support documentation required for release

Systems + Process Improvement

• Contribute to process improvements across AP, job cost, and accounting workflows
• Play a key role in the transition from Sage 300 to Acumatica, including testing and user adoption
• Help strengthen controls and improve efficiency across accounting operations

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 5–7+ years of accounting experience, preferably in construction or a project-based environment
• Strong understanding of job cost accounting and project financial workflows
• Experience working with subcontractor billing, commitments, and cost tracking
• Exposure to payroll and labor compliance (including prevailing wage or union environments)
• Proficiency in ERP systems (Sage 300 CRE, Acumatica, or similar) and advanced Excel

Preferred

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• Experience supporting WIP reporting and project financial forecasting
• Involvement in ERP implementations or system transitions
