About The Position

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Senior Staff Accountant who knows that numbers don’t just sit in spreadsheets — they drive decisions, protect margins, sharpen operations, and keep high-impact work moving. This isn’t a back-office, heads-down-only accounting seat. This is a high-trust, high-accuracy role for someone who can own the details, see the bigger picture, and help keep Alpha’s financial engine tight, clean, and ready for what’s next. You’ll support core accounting operations, project accounting, job cost tracking, WIP schedules, reconciliations, financial reporting, audits, and process improvements across a company building critical infrastructure throughout Hawaiʻi. If you’re the kind of accountant who catches what others miss, brings order to complexity, and takes pride in producing work leadership can actually rely on — this might be your lane.
