Description

Join a Company Built on Stability and Growth

The Waldinger Corporation, a respected leader in construction and MEP services since 1906, is looking for a sharp, detail-driven Corporate Accountant to join our team. This is more than an entry into accounting — it's a chance to build a well-rounded financial skill set across multiple disciplines, all while growing your career with a company that's stood the test of time.

Why You'll Love This Role

If you're looking to broaden your accounting expertise rather than get boxed into one narrow function, this is the role for you. You'll gain hands-on exposure across accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, treasury, and tax — giving you the versatility and experience that makes a great accountant a great finance professional . You'll work closely with experienced leaders who are invested in your development, with real pathways for advancement as you grow.

What You'll Do

  • Own the accuracy of financial records — keeping the company's books precise, complete, and compliant
  • Flex across functions — supporting AR, AP, payroll, treasury, and tax processes based on business needs, building a versatile skill set
  • Partner on budgeting — assisting with budget prep, tracking expenditures, and analyzing variances
  • Support compliance and audits — helping maintain strong internal controls and audit-ready documentation
  • Drive the financial close — preparing journal entries, reconciliations, and schedules to close the books accurately and on time

What You Bring

  • 3–5 years of accounting experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • A detail-oriented mindset and a drive to keep learning

No travel required — enjoy the variety of cross-functional work without the demands of being on the road.

What We Offer

  • 401(k) with company match and profit-sharing

  • Health club reimbursement wellness plan with lifestyle spending account
