- Professional development opportunities
Essential Functions and Responsibilities:
- Manage the company’s day-to-day accounting operations, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll accounting, fixed assets, and cash reconciliations.
- Assist the CFO in preparing accurate and timely monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and management reports.
- Maintain effective internal accounting controls, policies, procedures, and segregation of duties.
- Oversee accounting personnel and establish clear standards for accuracy, timeliness, documentation, and accountability.
- Assist the CFO with cash flow forecasting, banking, financing, bonding, insurance, tax planning, capital expenditures, and other financial matters.
- Maintain accurate fixed-asset and equipment accounting for a substantial construction equipment and vehicle fleet.
- Assist management in evaluating equipment ownership costs, capital expenditures, project performance, overhead, and operating efficiency.
- Ensure compliance with applicable federal and state accounting, payroll, tax, and financial reporting requirements.
- Develop and implement improved reporting processes and accounting controls as the company continues to grow.
- Protect confidential company, employee, customer, vendor, banking, and financial information.
- Perform other accounting and financial management responsibilities assigned by the CFO or executive management.
Education/Skills and Specifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, business, or a related field.
- A CPA, CMA, or similar professional designation is desirable but not required for a candidate with strong, relevant experience.
- Construction accounting experience is strongly preferred. Experience with heavy civil construction, excavation, highway/heavy construction, utilities, specialty contracting, equipment-intensive construction, or a comparable project-based industry is particularly valuable.
- Strong knowledge of accounting principles and financial regulations.
- Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail.
- Strong leadership and communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines effectively.
- Strong working knowledge of job costing, WIP accounting, percentage-of-completion and revenue recognition concepts, financial statement preparation, internal controls, budgeting and forecasting, cash flow management, and fixed-asset accounting.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Highly accurate, organized, and accountable.
- Comfortable being both a manager and a hands-on accountant.
- Able to analyze financial information rather than simply report it.
- Capable of communicating effectively with project managers and field-oriented construction professionals as well as accountants, bankers, CPAs, and executive management.
- Comfortable questioning unusual transactions, cost trends, job performance, or accounting practices when something does not look right.
- Able to improve systems and procedures without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
- Proficient with accounting/ERP systems and Microsoft Excel.
- Experienced in supervising and developing accounting personnel.
- Able to maintain strict confidentiality and exercise sound professional judgment.
What Makes This Position Different:
This is not a Controller position in which the individual simply supervises bookkeeping and produces month-end statements. TECI is an equipment-intensive, self-performing construction company, and we expect our Controller to understand the relationship between the accounting records and what is actually happening on our projects.
The successful candidate should be interested in understanding why a project’s margin changed, why equipment costs increased, why receivables are aging, why cash flow differs from reported earnings, and whether the company’s financial information accurately reflects operating performance.
The Controller will have meaningful access to senior management and an opportunity to help strengthen the company’s accounting systems, reporting, controls, and financial decision-making.
Twehous Excavating will give consideration for employment without regard to race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status, or other legally protected status.
