Cpa Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

Our client is an established design-build contractor in the Phoenix, Arizona metro. They design and build custom swimming pools, landscapes, and complete outdoor living spaces for high-end residential properties, and they run their own design and construction crews rather than subcontracting the work out.

That one decision shapes this entire role. When a company builds everything itself, every invoice that arrives — concrete, rebar, tile, pool equipment, rented excavation gear, masonry materials — has to land on the right project and the right construction phase. The general ledger will balance whether or not you get that part right. Job profitability will not. Which is exactly why the client is blunt that this is not a data-entry seat.

You will start in transactional work: entering invoices, processing documentation, supporting Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, and learning how their jobs, vendors, and chart of accounts actually fit together. From there the role is built to widen — into reconciliations, job costing, month-end support, and financial reporting. That progression is written into the job description itself, not dangled at the end of it.

What the client is really buying is judgment. Someone who understands the principle behind the entry, notices when something does not look right, and asks a question rather than making an assumption. If you have ever been the person who found the duplicate invoice before it got paid, this is your seat.

• Enter and maintain accounting transactions accurately and on time.
• Process vendor invoices along with their supporting documentation.
• Organize invoices, purchase documentation, receipts, and other accounting records so anything can be found later without a hunt.
• Maintain accurate vendor and customer records.

• Assist with Accounts Payable transaction entry and organization.
• Assist with Accounts Receivable transaction entry and customer account information.
• Assist with matching invoices, payments, purchase information, and project costs.

• Enter and review project and job-related costs.
• Maintain accounting spreadsheets, schedules, and supporting documentation that sit behind the job numbers.

• Review transactions for missing, incorrect, or inconsistent information.
• Raise anything that does not look right rather than assuming your way past it.

• Learn the company's accounting systems, construction workflow, chart of accounts, projects, vendors, and internal procedures.
• Assist the accounting team with routine accounting and administrative tasks.

This position is designed to grow. The first priority is learning the business and becoming genuinely reliable on transactional work. As you demonstrate accuracy, accounting knowledge, judgment, communication, and ownership, the role is expected to expand to include:

• Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable management and processing
• Vendor statement reconciliations
• Bank and credit card reconciliations
• Customer account reconciliations
• Job costing and project cost review
• Review and classification of expenses
• Monitoring outstanding receivables and payables
• Assisting with month-end accounting procedures
• Preparing accounting schedules and reports
• Identifying accounting discrepancies and researching their cause
• Supporting cash flow and financial reporting processes
• Assisting with preparation of information needed for quarterly and annual reporting
• Working directly with company management and outside accounting and tax professionals
• Developing improved accounting procedures, controls, and workflows Accounting Support Accounts Payable & Receivable Reconciliations & Job Costing Month-End Accounting Financial Reporting Support Broader Accounting Responsibilities

• achelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field.
• Strong understanding of accounting principles.
• Experience with Accounts Payable and/or Accounts Receivable.
• Experience performing account reconciliations.
• Strong Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets skills.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to learn new accounting and business software.
• Ability to work independently while communicating questions and issues promptly.
• Reliable internet connection and a professional remote-work environment.

None of the following are required. Each one shortens your learning curve, and the client has said plainly that they will take an exceptional candidate who is missing several of them.

• Professional accounting experience.
• CPA or an equivalent professional accounting designation. Valued, but not required for an exceptional candidate.
• Construction accounting, job costing, or project-based accounting.
• QuickBooks or similar accounting software.
• ERP, construction management, or project management systems.
• Vendor invoice processing.
• Customer billing and collections.
• Bank and credit card reconciliations.
• Month-end close support.
• Financial reporting support.
• Experience working successfully in a remote environment.

• Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets (used daily, and used properly: lookups, SUMIF-style totals, and PivotTables, not just typing into cells).
• An accounting system such as QuickBooks, or a comparable platform. You will be trained on ours.
• ERP, construction management, or project management software (valued, not required).
• Microsoft Teams and OneDrive for day-to-day communication and file sharing.
• Hubstaff for time tracking during paid working hours.

• You are accurate and detail-oriented, and you can hold that standard across a high volume of financial information rather than only on the first ten items.
• You are organized and dependable, and your documentation is good enough that someone else could pick it up cold.
• You are accountable for completing work correctly and on time.
• You would rather ask a question than make an unsupported assumption, and you are comfortable doing that in writing across a time difference.
• You notice when something does not look correct, even when nothing has technically broken.
• You want to understand why a transaction is handled a certain way, not just where to type it.
• You can follow an established procedure and still spot where it could be better.
• You take feedback well and learn new responsibilities without needing to be walked through them twice.
• You are looking for a long-term seat you can grow inside, not a task list to complete.
