Senior Accounting & Operations Associate

Alabama Grading & Excavation • Piedmont, AL

About The Position

Our communities need resilient infrastructure with minimal environmental impact to thrive. This is the call we proudly answer through road building, paving, building demolition, municipal water main replacement, and storm sewer repair. Our dedication goes beyond mere pride; we are deeply obsessed with dirt, dump trucks, excavators, and caring for people.
How you’ll get to help us:
Ensure the financial health, integrity, and growth of our small but proud company through financial management, strategic decision-making, and operational efficiency.

Requirements

• You have 3+ years experience performing business accounting and data analysis with QuickBooks
• You nerd out on strategic financial planning
• You’ve worked at a small company and thrive on the diverse workload it provides. You welcome the wider business perspectives you gain while making a broader impact in a small organization. Your ability to stay organized in a versatile role is highly valuable.
• You’re a “leave it to me” kind of person, entrepreneurial in nature. You’re not looking to follow the blueprint of a well oiled machine. You’re comfortable asking for clarification if needed and then you enjoy rolling up your sleeves to find new ways to increase efficiency, profit and productivity. Determined, self-reliant, and smart. You’ve got it — and we want it.
• But, you’re not just all about business and data. You’re very much about people, too. You strike the right balance between professionalism and empathy, always seeking win-win outcomes. You foster enduring partnerships built on trust and collaboration
