  • Lead year-end close activities and prepare schedules for tax accounting. 
  • Coordinate with virtual staff to delegate tasks and maintain standard operating procedures. 


Who You Are 

  • You bring at least 5 years of accounting experience, ideally as a Controller or Senior Accountant in the construction or related industry.  
  • You’re proficient in QuickBooks and QuickBooks Payroll with a solid understanding of integrations such as time-tracking systems. 
  • Your experience with POC/WIP accounting is detailed and hands-on—you know the ins and outs of the numbers and their story. 
  • You’re comfortable working directly with operations teams, training others, and maintaining disciplined documentation practices.
