We are a privately held, mid-sized general contractor with a strong reputation for high-quality commercial and institutional projects across Colorado. Known for our people-first culture and long-tenured team, we combine craftsmanship with modern systems to keep operations smooth and clients happy.

• Stable, long-standing company with a people-first culture.
• Direct collaboration with leadership and project teams.
• Variety in work—exposure to both payroll and general accounting.
• Trusted by clients for quality and integrity.
• Strong benefits, consistent schedule, and work-life balance.

We're looking for an Accounting Specialist who thrives in an environment where accuracy, communication, and accountability matter. This role plays a key part in keeping our projects on track financially and operationally — ensuring payroll, reporting, and reconciliations are handled with precision and efficiency.

What You'll Do

• Payroll & Certified Payroll: Process weekly payroll and time entries for field and office employees; prepare certified payroll reports per Davis-Bacon and Prevailing Wage standards.
• Project Accounting: Manage job setup, data syncs, and cost tracking within Foundation, Procore, and the Foundation Integration Tool (FIT) to ensure projects run smoothly and financials stay accurate.
• Accounts Payable & Receivable: Review and post invoices, receipts, and statements; assist with check runs, year-end 1099s, and reconciliation of credit cards and expenses.
• Cash Management & Treasury: Oversee cash activity, ACH and wire transfers, bank reconciliations, and positive pay and deposit monitoring.
• Union & Compliance Reporting: Process union contributions and maintain documentation aligned with Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs).
• Audit & Financial Support: Prepare audit schedules, maintain documentation for compliance reviews, and support month-end and year-end close.
• Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Work closely with project managers, superintendents, and field staff to resolve issues quickly and maintain trust between operations and accounting.
• Special Projects: Partner with the Controller and leadership team to streamline systems, automate processes, and support continuous improvement initiatives.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years of accounting, payroll, or related experience — ideally within construction or a project-based industry.
• Strong Excel and accounting system skills; experience with Foundation or Procore is a plus.
• Knowledge of certified payroll, prevailing wage, and Davis-Bacon compliance.
• Exceptional attention to detail, confidentiality, and follow-through.
• Service mindset and comfort working with both office and field teams.
• Bachelor's degree preferred but not required
• Multi-state or union payroll familiarity a plus.
