This is an opportunity to take ownership of the financial operations for an established commercial concrete contractor. If you enjoy solving operational challenges, working closely with ownership, and making a measurable impact within a growing construction business, this role offers the visibility and autonomy to do exactly that.

Our client is a privately owned commercial construction company with a long-standing reputation in its market. The business operates with a close-knit, family-oriented culture where decisions are made quickly and employees work collaboratively across departments. The accounting team plays a central role in supporting both field operations and executive leadership, making this position highly visible within the organization.

In this role, you will…

• Lead all accounting operations, including financial reporting, general ledger management, month-end and year-end close.
• Oversee union payroll processing, payroll tax compliance, and job cost allocations within Sage 300 CRE.
• Manage cash flow, banking relationships, account reconciliations, and financial controls.
• Supervise the Accounts Payable Clerk while providing leadership across accounting and HR-related administrative functions.
• Oversee project accounting, including job costing, contract administration, billing, change orders, and work-in-progress reporting.
• Coordinate annual tax preparation, external CPA support, insurance reporting, and regulatory compliance.
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes while bringing structure and organization to existing financial operations.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Progressive accounting leadership experience, ideally as a Controller or Assistant Controller.
• Experience within commercial construction or project-based accounting environments.
• Strong knowledge of job costing, payroll, financial reporting, and account reconciliations.
• Experience using Sage 300 CRE (formerly Timberline) is strongly preferred.
• Experience processing union payroll and managing construction payroll compliance.
• Ability to work onsite in a collaborative office environment.

If you're an experienced construction accounting professional who enjoys balancing strategic financial leadership with hands-on operational involvement, we'd welcome a confidential conversation about this opportunity.
