Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Flintrock Builders is a construction company that emphasizes accurate financial management to support projects, crews, vendors, and clients. The Head Accountant will own the company’s accounting operations, oversee construction-specific accounting and compliance, manage staff, support project profitability and cash-flow decisions, and improve financial processes and systems.
Responsibilities
- Own the full accounting cycle for the company, from accounts payable and receivable through month-end close and financial reporting
- Manage job costing across active construction projects, keeping cost codes accurate so project managers can trust the numbers they're working from
- Prepare and maintain work-in-progress (WIP) schedules, and flag any project that's drifting off budget before it becomes a real problem
- Oversee payroll processing, including certified payroll if we're working on prevailing wage jobs, and make sure our crews are paid accurately and on time, every time
- Handle progress billing and draw requests, coordinating with project managers and, where needed, with lenders or bonding companies
- Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and any construction loan draws on a regular schedule, not just when someone asks
- Manage relationships with our CPA firm for tax prep, and prepare clean, organized records so tax season isn't a fire drill
- Build and maintain cash flow forecasts that leadership can actually use to make decisions, not just spreadsheets that sit unread
- Supervise and mentor our bookkeeping staff, reviewing their work and helping them grow into stronger accounting professionals
- Manage subcontractor compliance paperwork, including lien waivers, insurance certificates, and W-9s, so we stay protected on every job
- Present monthly and quarterly financial summaries to ownership in plain language, translating the numbers into decisions, not just data
- Improve our accounting processes and systems as we grow. If something is clunky or outdated, we want you to fix it, not just work around it
Skills
- Five or more years of accounting experience, with at least two of those years specifically in construction or a related project-based industry
- Real, hands-on knowledge of job costing and WIP accounting. This is not something we can teach from scratch on the job
- A bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a closely related field
- Comfort with accounting software used in construction, such as QuickBooks, Sage 300 CRE, Procore, Foundation, or similar platforms
- Strong Excel skills. You should be comfortable building your own models and reports, not just filling in templates someone else made
- Experience managing or mentoring at least one other person on a finance or accounting team
- The ability to explain financial information clearly to people who aren't accountants, including project managers, superintendents, and ownership
- A track record of catching problems early. We'd rather hire someone who flags a budget issue in month two than someone who explains it away in month eleven
- Genuine discretion. You'll have access to sensitive financial information, and we need someone who treats that responsibility seriously
- A CPA is a strong plus, but we won't rule out a great candidate without one
- Experience with certified payroll and prevailing wage compliance
- Familiarity with construction loan draws and working with banks or bonding companies
- Exposure to multi-entity accounting, if you've worked with a company running several related businesses or subsidiaries
- A background that includes both public accounting and industry experience. It tends to produce accountants who understand both the rules and the reality
Benefits
- Health insurance coverage.
- Paid time off and standard company holidays.
- Opportunity to grow into a larger financial leadership role as the company expands.
- A team that treats you like a person, not a line item.
