Process payroll via QuickBooks, manage employee timesheets, and handle all compliance reporting (sales tax, workers’ comp, etc.).
Prepare monthly financial statements and project-specific reports. Conduct budget vs. actual reviews, and use insights to drive cost optimization.
Monitor financial outcomes of ongoing projects, flag variances, and provide analysis to support strategic decisions.
Identify inefficiencies in financial processes and develop solutions to streamline workflows and reduce risk.
Collaborate with project teams, handle client-facing financial communications, support contract generation, and guide day-to-day operational decisions.
Act as a key liaison for accounting matters with clients, vendors, and subcontractors.
QUALIFICATIONS:
5–7 years of experience—preferably including a foundation in public accounting followed by in-house operational finance exposure.
CPA Certification
Proven expertise with QuickBooks, knowledge of bookkeeping, able to handle multi-entity financials.
High attention to detail and accuracy in financial reporting.
Entrepreneurial mindset and willingness to roll up your sleeves—this is a growth-stage business, and your work will directly shape the future of the company.
Strong communication skills, interfacing with internal teams and external partners professionally
FUTURE GROWTH PATH:
This role is built for long-term advancement. As the company scales, this position will evolve into senior financial leadership, with responsibility over corporate finance strategy, investor relations, and cross-entity performance management.
