About The Position

At David Nice Builders, we craft construction masterpieces through integrity, enduring relationships, and passionate people. We're looking for a sharp, detail-driven financial operations professional to join our team as Accounts Payable Manager, a role that sits at the nerve center of our company's financial engine. DNB is a Virginia-based commercial construction company operating across four divisions with roughly 170 employees. We are a company that promotes from within, invests in the people who deliver results, and gives capable people room to grow into the full weight of their role. This is not a heads-down, process-the-stack AP role. The AP Manager at DNB is a critical operational leader who reports directly to the CFO and carries real authority across a four-division construction organization. You'll own the full AP function, handling everything from subcontractor invoice compliance and pay run management to cash flow projections and year-end 1099 filing. If you've been the person who catches the problem before it becomes a crisis, knows the compliance status of every subcontractor in the queue, and can hold a biweekly pay run together without dropping a thread, we want to talk. That includes candidates who have been doing this work at the senior specialist or lead level and are ready to own it formally.

Requirements

Hands-on AP experience in construction, job-cost accounting, or a similarly complex, high-volume multi-entity environment.
The ability to manage competing deadlines, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual, without losing accuracy or composure.
Familiarity with Vista by Viewpoint or comparable construction accounting software (Sage, Foundation, CMiC).
Solid Excel skills and comfort working across Outlook, Word, and electronic payment platforms.
A compliance mindset. COIs, W-9s, lien waivers, and audit documentation should feel like second nature, not afterthoughts.
Clear, professional written and verbal communication. You'll interact regularly with the CFO, VP, Controller, PMs, and external vendors.
Discretion. You'll handle sensitive financial, legal, and vendor information and be trusted to handle it right.

Responsibilities

Own the full AP cycle across all four divisions, ensuring invoice accuracy, proper coding, and timely entry into Vista by Viewpoint.
Manage subcontractor invoice compliance, including certificates of insurance, W-9s, and contractor licenses, and serve as the primary point of contact for vendor and subcontractor setup.
Prepare and distribute a detailed weekly cash flow projection across all divisions to the VP, CFO, Controller, and Client Services Manager.
Run biweekly pay cycles (10th and 25th), including the AP Cash Requirements Report, check preparation, ACH/wire processing, and Positive Pay submission to the bank.
Prepare monthly analytic reports, identify cost drivers, and propose options to management.
Handle annual 1099 preparation and filing, GL/WC audit support, and real estate tax processing.
Interface directly with project management and production teams on invoice approvals, committed costs, and subcontract compliance. You are the financial reality check in that relationship.
