- Partner with project managers and operations to analyze project performance and profitability
- Strengthen accounting processes, internal controls, and reporting
- Help lead the company’s planned transition from American Contractor to Sage
- Serve as a trusted financial partner to ownership and company leadership
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field
- 8+ years of accounting leadership experience within the construction industry
- Significant experience in a union construction environment
- Strong expertise in job costing, WIP schedules, construction billing, and revenue recognition
- Advanced Excel skills
- A hands-on, collaborative leadership style with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
