Maintain and enforce documented accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls. Cash Flow, Treasury & Risk Management
Monitor weekly cash position and ensure sufficient liquidity. Oversee insurance renewals, risk mitigation, and internal process reviews. Coordinate annual financial, insurance, and tax audits, maintaining organized and complete documentation. Compliance & Reporting
Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local tax and payroll regulations. File or oversee all required tax filings (payroll, W‑2s, 1099s, sales/use tax, etc.). Maintain audit‑ready documentation and uphold GAAP standards. Job Costing & Project Accounting
Support both fixed‑price and time‑and‑material (T&M) project accounting models. Partner with project managers on WIP schedules, revenue recognition, and project billing. Provide job‑level profitability reports and assist in forecasting margins for large projects. Systems & Process Improvement/QuickBooks Expertise
Utilize and optimize QuickBooks for reporting, job costing, and system integrations. Evaluate and implement tools that improve accuracy, automation, and efficiency. Champion continuous process improvement across finance and operations. Supervisory Duties & EOS Integration
Supervise and mentor the staff accountant and PT HR Generalist, providing clear direction and accountability under EOS LMA principles. Conduct regular one‑on‑ones and quarterly reviews to ensure alignment and performance. Actively participate in Level 10 meetings, scorecard tracking, and rock‑setting to drive team accountability.
