Construction Accounting ERP Consultant

Construction Accounting ERP Consultant
Full Time | Remote | Syscon, Inc.

Do you understand construction accounting well enough to see what is happening behind the numbers, and ERP systems well enough to help someone fix the process when something is not working?

Syscon, Inc. is looking for a Construction Accounting ERP Consultant who can work directly with Controllers, Accounting Managers, and construction accounting teams to improve how they use their ERP systems. This role combines construction accounting knowledge, ERP consulting, implementation, training, troubleshooting, reporting, and process improvement.

Sage 100 Contractor is a primary platform at Syscon and direct experience is highly valuable, but it is not required. If you have strong construction accounting knowledge and meaningful experience with another construction ERP system, we are open to that experience.

Founded in 1986, Syscon helps construction companies get more value from their technology and business systems. HOW WE WORK

- We are a we. No ego, no drama, no “not my job.” Every person on this team owns their piece and shows up for everyone else’s.

- We ask for help when we need it. We take feedback and use it. We take ownership when something does not go as planned, learn from it, and make sure the same mistake does not keep happening.

- We are proactive about learning. We research, ask questions, test ideas, and keep building our knowledge rather than waiting for someone else to tell us every step.

- We treat every task, even the mundane ones, as a chance to take away a client’s pain. That’s not a value we hang on the wall. It’s how we operate.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Work directly with construction accounting teams to understand accounting, workflow, reporting, and ERP challenges

- Support ERP implementations from discovery and process mapping through configuration, testing, training, go live, and ongoing support

- Help clients improve workflows involving job costing, WIP, progress billing, payroll, general ledger, month end close, financial reporting, and related construction accounting processes

- Configure and troubleshoot ERP workflows, accounting setup, reporting, and business processes

- Train accounting teams and other end users so they understand both the system and the process behind it

- Create clear procedures, training materials, and documentation clients can use independently

- Help clients navigate year end processes, software updates, accounting changes, reporting needs, and transaction history

- Build and maintain reports using ERP report writers, Excel, Power BI, and query tools

- Manage multiple client priorities while providing clear communication, accurate follow through, and timely resolution

- Continue building your knowledge of Syscon’s ERP platforms, construction accounting, and emerging technology

WHAT YOU BRING
Required

- At least five years of professional experience in construction accounting and/or construction ERP systems, including meaningful hands-on experience with a construction accounting ERP

- Strong working knowledge of construction accounting, including job costing, WIP, progress billing, general ledger, financial reporting, and month end processes

- Meaningful hands-on experience using, supporting, implementing, or consulting within a construction accounting ERP system

- Recent construction ERP experience

- Experience working through accounting or business processes beyond basic software navigation or user support

- Experience training or supporting accounting end users

- Ability to understand a client’s accounting or workflow problem, ask good questions, investigate the issue, and help move it toward resolution

- Strong communication, organization, follow through, and client service skills

- Ability to manage multiple priorities and take ownership of commitments

- Ability to learn unfamiliar systems independently and apply what you learn

- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Word

-
