Accounting Manager

North Carolina Sound • Pikeville, NC

20d • Onsite

About The Position

North Carolina Sound is a commercial technology and security provider serving North Carolina and South Carolina. Its focus is security, communications, and infrastructure systems for commercial and industrial operations, school districts, healthcare facilities, and state and local government. Locally owned and operating for more than 35 years, the company works from locations spanning the Piedmont Triad through eastern North Carolina to the coast. It continues to grow across both states.

Our Accounting Managers own the day-to-day accounting operation for a single operating company: the monthly close, internal and external reporting, controls, payroll oversight, and support of the annual audit. This is a hands-on, in-the-details role that partners closely with our regional finance team. Because our businesses are project-based, revenue recognition, job costing, and cash discipline sit at the center of the work. Scope and team size vary by operating company, and our recruiting team will walk you through the specifics when there is a match.

Requirements

• Roughly 5 to 8 years of progressive accounting experience, with genuine hands-on ownership of the monthly close.
• Strong command of GAAP, with fluency in reconciliations, accruals, and financial reporting.
• Experience running close and reporting across multiple entities, branches, or subsidiaries.
• Comfort in accounting systems (our operating companies run tools such as QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, and ServiceTitan) with the ability to learn and work in new ones.
• Strong Excel and data-modeling skills, and the self-direction to bring structure to ambiguity without hand-holding.

Nice To Haves

• A public accounting foundation
• Project-based, construction, or inventory-heavy experience (job costing, WIP, cycle counts)
• Prior experience supervising a small team
• CPA

Responsibilities

• Run the monthly close, deliver a fast and accurate flash, and continuously improve the speed and accuracy of the process.
• Manage revenue recognition and job costing for projects, and, where applicable, inventory management and cycle counts.
• Prepare the financial package and variance analysis, and manage a 13-week forward-looking cash flow forecast.
• Maintain and improve controls, budgets, and KPIs, and keep regulatory compliance clean.
• Work in the operating company's ERP and support system implementations and integrations alongside the regional finance team.
• Where a team exists, manage and develop the accounting staff; ensure accurate payroll, AR, and AP.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and performance-based bonus, benchmarked to your market and the scope of the seat.
• Full health benefits
• 401(k) with match
• Paid time off
• Professional development support
