You'll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals, explore different areas of accounting, and contribute to the financial processes that support our growing operations.

Because meaningful careers are built one opportunity, one skill, and one accomplishment at a time.

What You'll Do

As our Accounting Assistant, you'll support both general accounting and project accounting activities, gaining exposure to the financial operations behind a growing construction organization.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Accounting Support: Assist with accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), invoice processing, and everyday bookkeeping tasks.

• Banking & Reconciliations: Assist with bank and credit card reconciliations, Positive Pay bank transactions, expense tracking, and related documentation, following established procedures.


• Reporting & Administrative Support: Prepare spreadsheets, assist with basic financial reports, and support month-end accounting activities.


• Team Collaboration: Work with Finance and Project Accounting team members to support daily activities, deadlines, and special projects.

You'll receive guidance as you become familiar with our systems, procedures, and accounting processes.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys learning, and understands that even the smallest details can make a big difference.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.


• Basic computer skills, including familiarity with Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook.

• Ability to manage priorities, follow instructions, and meet deadlines.


• Ability to maintain confidentiality when handling financial information.


• Reliable availability during the established part-time schedule.


• Willingness to learn new systems, ask questions, and take ownership of assigned responsibilities.

Great to Have, but Not Required

• Coursework or training in accounting, bookkeeping, finance, business, or a related field.


• Previous experience in administrative support, data entry, cashiering, or bookkeeping.


• Familiarity with accounting software such as QuickBooks, Sage, or similar systems.


• Basic knowledge of accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, or financial recordkeeping.
