Certified Public Accountant

We are an established construction company specializing in high-end residential landscapes, swimming pools, and outdoor living projects. Our accounting team supports a fast-moving, project-driven business where accuracy, organization, and financial discipline are critical to keeping projects on track and the company operating at its best.

We are looking for a detail-oriented, motivated accounting professional to join our accounting and finance team. This position is intended for someone with a strong accounting foundation who is willing to initially learn our company, systems, processes, and construction accounting workflow through hands-on transactional accounting work.

The role will begin with accounting support, data entry, document processing, and transaction review — with the opportunity to grow into Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, job costing, reconciliations, financial reporting support, and broader accounting responsibilities.

We are not looking for a data-entry employee. We are looking for someone who understands accounting principles, asks good questions, identifies discrepancies, takes ownership of their work, and has the ability to grow into a larger accounting role within the company.

•     Bachelors degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field

•     Strong understanding of accounting principles

•     Strong attention to detail and accuracy

•     ERP, construction management, or project management systems

•     Vendor invoice processing

•     Customer billing and collections

•     Bank and credit card reconciliations

The right person will be:

•     Accountable for completing work correctly and on time

•     Willing to ask questions rather than make unsupported assumptions

•     Able to identify when something does not look correct

•     Interested in understanding why transactions are handled a certain way — not simply entering information

•     Able to follow established procedures while also identifying opportunities to improve them

•     Comfortable receiving feedback and learning new responsibilities

•     Interested in developing professionally and taking on greater responsibility over time

•     Looking for a long-term opportunity rather than simply completing assigned tasks

This position is designed to grow. The initial priority will be learning the company and becoming highly reliable with transactional accounting and accounting support. As the employee demonstrates accuracy, accounting knowledge, judgment, communication, and ownership, we expect the position to develop into increasingly responsible accounting functions.

A successful employee could eventually progress through:

Accounting Support  →  Accounts Payable & Receivable  →  Reconciliations & Job Costing  →  Month-End Accounting  →  Financial Reporting Support  →  Broader Accounting Responsibilities

Our objective is to develop a long-term member of our accounting team who understands both accounting principles and how our business operates.
