Accounting Manager

Robert Half • Clearwater, FL • 1h ago

Description

We are seeking a hands-on, adaptable Accounting Manager to lead all day-to-day accounting operations within a fast-growing civil construction firm. This role is ideal for a proactive, detail-oriented professional with strong full-cycle accounting experience and a desire to help shape and grow the accounting function from the ground up.

Reporting directly to the General Manager and company owner, the Accounting Manager will oversee accounts payable and receivable, manage vendor payments, support payroll oversight, and ensure financial statements are accurate and timely. This role will also involve monitoring payments to key vendors like Caterpillar and John Deere, working closely with HR and engineering teams, and playing a key role in the upcoming ERP transition from QuickBooks to Spectrum.

This is a temp-to-perm opportunity with the intent to convert to a full-time hire in approximately three months. The company is experiencing rapid growth, and this position offers the chance to build processes, improve systems, and grow with the organization. The position is fully onsite in Clearwater, FL, and will eventually manage an Accounting Clerk once administrative staff expansion is complete.

Strong full-cycle accounting knowledge, including financial statement preparation

Experience managing AP/AR, vendor payments, pay applications, and accounting oversight of payroll

Ability to work in a fast-paced, evolving environment with minimal structure

Comfortable dealing with change, backlog cleanup, and helping establish standard operating procedures

Proven experience with QuickBooks and ideally Spectrum (or other ERP systems with ability to learn Spectrum quickly)

Personality & Fit

Strong initiative and problem-solving skills

Comfortable working independently with direct access to senior leadership

Energetic, growth-minded individual seeking long-term career development
