Accounting Manager / Controller

Accounting Manager | Construction

Indianapolis, IN (North Side) | On-Site

About the Opportunity

We're partnering with a growing construction-focused organization seeking an Accounting Manager to lead accounting operations and help build the financial infrastructure needed to support long-term growth.

This is a highly visible role with direct interaction with ownership and leadership. The ideal candidate will take ownership of the accounting function, evaluate existing processes, implement improvements, and help create scalable systems that support the company's growth objectives.

This opportunity offers a clear path toward future leadership growth as the organization continues to expand.

What You'll Do

• Lead month-end close, reconciliations, and financial reporting activities
• Oversee accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll review, and general ledger functions
• Manage job costing, project accounting, and project profitability reporting
• Monitor WIP schedules, project performance, and revenue recognition activities
• Partner with operational leaders to improve financial visibility and decision-making
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and strategic planning
• Support customer billing, collections, and compliance-related documentation
• Evaluate existing accounting workflows, identify gaps, and drive process improvements
• Help implement scalable systems, reporting tools, and operational controls to support future growth

What We're Looking For

• Construction accounting experience required
• Strong background in job costing and project-based accounting
• Experience with WIP reporting and project profitability analysis
• AIA billing and percentage-of-completion accounting experience preferred
• Experience using Procore strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of month-end close, financial reporting, and reconciliations
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of the accounting function
• Confidence to assess current processes, challenge the status quo, and recommend improvements
• Strong communication skills with the ability to partner across operations and leadership teams

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Opportunity to build and shape the accounting function of a profitable and growing small business
• Direct visibility with ownership and company leadership
• Significant influence on future systems, reporting, and financial operations
• Clear opportunity for advancement as the organization grows
• Ideal for someone who wants to leave a meaningful impact rather than simply maintain existing processes

Compensation & Benefits

• $100,000 - $120,000 base salary
• Annual bonus opportunity
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• PTO and paid holidays
• Long-term growth and advancement opportunities

Pay Details: $100,000.00 to $120,000.00 per year
