We aren't looking for just any accountant; we need someone who speaks the language of job costs, understands the importance of a lien waiver, and thrives in the high-stakes, high-reward environment of a construction office.
While this is an entry-level position in our finance department, a background in construction accounting or experience working within the construction industry is highly preferred. We are ready to mentor you into a top-tier industry professional, provided you bring the grit, the QuickBooks skills, and the foundational knowledge of how project-based financials work.
