Our Dallas‑based construction client is seeking an Accounting Manager to oversee the full job‑costing and project‑accounting function for construction projects across Texas.

Maintain the general ledger and ensure compliance with internal controls and GAAP
Support preparation of financial statements and management reporting
Assist with external audits and provide supporting documentation as needed
Identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve reporting, and strengthen financial accuracy
What You Bring Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (required)
Experience in construction accounting or job costing is strongly preferred
CPA is not required
Audit experience (public or internal) is a plus
Strong understanding of GAAP and cost accounting principles
Ability to work on‑site with a flexible schedule
Excellent communication skills and comfort working with field and operations teams
Detail‑oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously
Why This Role Stands Out High‑visibility position supporting major construction projects across Texas
Stable, growing company with a collaborative culture
Flexible in‑office hours to support work‑life balance
Opportunity to own the job‑costing function and influence financial accuracy and project performance
