This position reports directly to the owner and manages a three-person accounting team. The ideal candidate is comfortable both leading the accounting function and remaining involved in day-to-day operations.

- Identify opportunities to automate, streamline and improve accounting processes
- Coordinate with outside CPA and other financial partners
Ideal Background
- Approximately 5–10 years of progressive accounting experience

- Prior experience supervising or leading accounting staff
- Strong understanding of AP, AR, reconciliations, GL, cash flow and financial reporting
- Construction, specialty contracting, installation or other project/job-cost accounting experience strongly preferred

- Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills
- Hands-on, organized and comfortable working directly with an entrepreneurial owner
