Our projects include new construction, remodeling, additions, tenant improvements, kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor projects, and other construction services throughout the Cary and Raleigh, North Carolina area. Because our work involves multiple projects, subcontractors, suppliers, customer payments, material purchases, and changing project costs, accurate bookkeeping plays an important role in keeping each job financially organized.

This is a part-time remote position for a bookkeeping professional with at least 5 years of experience. Construction or project-based accounting experience is strongly preferred.

• Manage accounts payable, including supplier, vendor, and subcontractor invoices
• Maintain accounts receivable records and track customer invoices, deposits, payments, and outstanding balances
• Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and other financial accounts
• Code labor, materials, subcontractor costs, equipment, and other expenses to the appropriate construction project
• Track project costs and assist management with reviewing actual expenses against project budgets
• Record payments, transfers, refunds, deposits, and journal entries
• Review vendor statements and resolve billing or payment discrepancies
• Maintain supporting records for purchase activity, project expenses, change orders, and customer billing
• Keep vendor and subcontractor documentation organized, including W-9 information and records used for year-end 1099 reporting
• Assist with month-end close activities and preparation of internal financial reports
• Provide management with accurate information regarding receivables, payables, cash balances, and project costs
• Maintain organized electronic copies of invoices, receipts, statements, and other accounting records

What We Are Looking For

• 5 or more years of professional bookkeeping or accounting experience
• Strong background in accounts payable, accounts receivable, account reconciliation, and general ledger bookkeeping
• Experience with construction accounting, job costing, general contracting, remodeling, homebuilding, or another project-based business is preferred
• Proficiency with QuickBooks Online or comparable accounting software
• Strong understanding of journal entries, debits and credits, expense classification, and account reconciliation
• Experience reviewing invoices and assigning costs to specific jobs or projects
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets
• Strong recordkeeping and organizational skills
• Ability to identify discrepancies and follow transactions through supporting documentation
• Ability to manage assigned bookkeeping responsibilities independently in a remote environment
• Clear written and verbal communication skills when working with management, vendors, and internal team members

The successful candidate will bring established bookkeeping experience and a practical understanding of how financial activity flows through an active construction business. We are looking for someone who keeps records accurate, follows transactions carefully, and provides management with dependable financial information for ongoing projects and company operations.
