Certified Public Accountant

About the Company

We are an established construction company specializing in high-end residential landscapes, swimming pools, and outdoor living projects. Our accounting team supports a fast-moving, project-driven business where accuracy, organization, and financial discipline are critical to keeping projects on track and the company operating at its best.
Position Overview

We are looking for a detail-oriented, motivated accounting professional to join our accounting and finance team. This position is intended for someone with a strong accounting foundation who is willing to initially learn our company, systems, processes, and construction accounting workflow through hands-on transactional accounting work.

The role will begin with accounting support, data entry, document processing, and transaction review — with the opportunity to grow into Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, job costing, reconciliations, financial reporting support, and broader accounting responsibilities.

We are not looking for a data-entry employee. We are looking for someone who understands accounting principles, asks good questions, identifies discrepancies, takes ownership of their work, and has the ability to grow into a larger accounting role within the company.
