Our work spans multiple markets, including Maryland, Colorado, California, and Michigan, and includes large-scale development, custom luxury homes, workforce housing, mixed-use projects, and other unique real estate ventures.

We are a relatively small, collaborative organization where people know each other, work closely together, and have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Why join us? * **Meaningful ownership:** Take responsibility for the full accounting function supporting the custom homes/construction division.

* **Interesting projects:** Gain exposure to high-end custom homes, major development projects, workforce housing, and other unique real estate ventures.

* **Small, collaborative team:** Work in a low-politics environment with experienced professionals who genuinely enjoy working together.

* **Hybrid flexibility:** Typically 1–2 days in the Bethesda office each week, with flexibility by mutual agreement.

* **Make an impact:** There is an opportunity to clean up files, improve processes, and bring practical ideas to the organization.

* **Employee-focused culture:** Good ideas are welcomed, and employees are encouraged to contribute beyond their immediate job description.

* **Established organization:** Join a company with more than two decades of experience and projects spanning multiple markets.

Job Details A well-established Bethesda-based real estate development and construction organization is seeking a hands-on **Full-Charge Bookkeeper / Senior Accountant** to support its custom homes and general contracting division.

* Strong experience with AP, AR, payroll, payroll taxes, reconciliations, financial statements, and month-end close

* Experience maintaining the general ledger and preparing financial reports

* Ability to independently manage accounting responsibilities for a business unit or small company
