Accountant - Entry Level

Robert Half • Spring, TX • 2h ago

Description

Our client is seeking a hands-on Accountant to join their growing construction team. This is an immediate need for a detail-oriented professional who enjoys full-cycle accounting, job cost accounting, and partnering directly with operations to drive smarter financial decisions.

This is a highly visible role where your work directly impacts project performance, cash flow, and leadership reporting. If you enjoy understanding how projects perform financially-not just processing transactions-this is the kind of role where you can make a measurable difference.

In this role, you will take ownership of month-end close, job cost accounting, payroll, reconciliations, and financial reporting. You'll work closely with project managers and operations leadership to ensure budgets are tracked accurately and projects remain financially on course.

This is a hands-on position in a stable and growing environment where accounting is viewed as a strategic partner to the business.

Key Responsibilities

Manage full-cycle accounting, including general ledger maintenance and month-end close

Oversee job cost accounting, monitor project budgets, and reconcile job costs across active and completed projects

Prepare and analyze financial reports to support leadership decision-making

Process employee payroll and ensure accuracy and compliance

Perform account reconciliations and maintain strong internal controls

Support construction draws and project-related financial activity

Partner with operations and project teams to track financial performance and identify variances

Recommend and implement process improvements related to reporting, controls, and efficiency

Requirements

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance

2-4 years of accounting experience, ideally in a full-cycle or full-charge role

Strong understanding of GAAP and month-end close procedures

Experience within a construction or project-based accounting environment preferred

Proficiency in Sage accounting software

Advanced Microsoft Excel skills

Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
