A/P Staff Accountant
About The Position
Our client, an established construction company, is building out its accounting department and is looking for a hands-on Staff Accountant to help stabilize and strengthen operations. The immediate focus of this position is heavy Accounts Payable and A/P administration — well beyond basic invoice entry — while the department gets settled. Over time, this role is designed to grow into a broader staff accountant position and become a right-hand to the accounting leadership. This is a long-term opportunity for a polished, detail-oriented self-starter who wants to grow with the company — not a stepping stone for someone chasing the next title or salary bump.
Requirements
- Minimum 1 year of construction accounting experience — with 2+ years strongly preferred
- Hands-on, full-cycle Accounts Payable experience with real volume (not entry-level invoice entry only)
- Experience with job cost coding in a construction environment
- Strong Excel skills and solid accounting judgment
- Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy
- Polished, professional communication and a self-starter mindset
- Interest in a long-term role with room to grow
Nice To Haves
- Procore experience (being implemented now — a plus, but you can learn it alongside the team; not required)
- Sage 300 CRE (Timberline) and/or QuickBooks experience
- Experience with retainage, lien waivers, subcontractor invoices, and pay applications
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field
Responsibilities
- Own the full-cycle A/P process from invoice receipt through payment — not just data entry
- Manage vendor and subcontractor documentation, including W-9s, insurance certificates (COIs), and lien waivers/releases
- Apply accurate job cost coding to invoices and payables
- Handle invoice follow-up, discrepancy research, and issue resolution
- Perform account reconciliations related to A/P and vendor accounts
- Communicate professionally with vendors, subcontractors, project managers, and internal staff
- Support subcontractor compliance tracking and high-volume invoice processing
- Support month-end close, journal entries, and general ledger maintenance
- Assist with construction billing, retainage, and pay applications
- Contribute to project accounting and broader staff accountant duties
- Grow into a trusted right-hand role within the accounting team
