Senior Accountant (Temp-to-Hire)

Hybrid | Fast-Growing Construction / Manufacturing Company
$115K-$130K Opportunity to Convert to Direct Hire

Are you a hands-on Senior Accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment? Looking to step into a high-impact role where you can partner with operations, sharpen your cost accounting expertise, and grow into the business?

This is a temp-to-hire opportunity with strong potential for long-term growth.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Unique blend of manufacturing construction accounting
  • High visibility with leadership and operations teams
  • Opportunity to step in, make an immediate impact, and grow
  • Collaborative, down-to-earth team (great sense of humor required )
  • Build something meaningful in a growing, sustainable industry

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead cost accounting & inventory management (labor, materials, overhead)
  • Partner with factory and project teams to analyze job costs and improve performance
  • Own key aspects of the month-end close (JEs, reconciliations, variance analysis)
  • Manage day-to-day accounting operations (AP, AR, GL)
  • Support project accounting and project administration
  • Prepare sales & use tax filings (multi-state)
  • Deliver financial reporting, margin analysis, and cost trends
  • Assist with audits and internal controls
  • Provide ad hoc analysis and support strategic initiatives

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 5-7 years of progressive accounting experience
  • Manufacturing experience (cost accounting, inventory, variance analysis) - required
  • Construction/project accounting exposure
  • Strong Excel skills (must-have)
  • Familiarity with ERP systems (Vista Viewpoint a plus; not required)
  • Experience working in fast-paced, operational environments
  • Someone who is:
    • Adaptable, coachable, and solutions-oriented
    • Comfortable jumping in and figuring things out
    • Collaborative with a positive, humble attitude
    • Able to work across diverse personalities

Nice-to-Have

  • CPA or CMA
  • Experience with Power BI, Prophix, or AutoDesk
  • Background supporting project-based manufacturing or construction environments

Team & Environment

You'll be joining a small but mighty accounting team, working in an open, collaborative office environment. This is a role for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, wearing multiple hats, and being part of a growing operation.
