About the role

Position Summary: Fence Builders is a fast-growing commercial and residential fencing company headquartered in North Carolina, operating locations across the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Georgia. The Senior Accountant supports the company’s multi-entity accounting function, reporting to the Chief Financial Officer and working closely with location leadership and the billing, operations, and M&A teams. The role owns month-end close deliverables for assigned entities, maintains commercial and residential job costing and work-in-progress schedules, supports the integration of newly acquired fencing businesses, and prepares audit and tax support. The position suits a motivated accountant seeking direct exposure to mergers and acquisitions and multi-entity accounting in a fast-paced environment.
Key Responsibilities
Month-End Close and Reporting: Prepare journal entries and accruals for multiple entities and locations, and complete month-end and year-end close deliverables on schedule. Complete balance sheet account reconciliations and variance analyses, and review financial statements for accuracy before management reporting. Maintain accurate records in compliance with GAAP, company policies, and internal controls; provide financial insights to management and support special accounting projects.
Job Costing and Revenue Recognition: Maintain work-in-progress (WIP) schedules for commercial and residential jobs to support accurate, timely revenue recognition. Track and reconcile material, labor, and overhead costs by job, flagging variances between bid and actual job cost. Manage commercial progress billing and retainage tracking alongside high-volume residential revenue.
Acquisition Integration: Onboard newly acquired fencing businesses by aligning their charts of accounts, inventory, and local data with corporate accounting systems. Incorporate new acquisitions into monthly close processes, reporting, and procedures.
Audit, Tax, and Team Support: Prepare schedules and documentation for the annual financial statement audit, tax compliance, and other external reporting requirements. Assist with invoice creation and billing as needed
Qualifications: One to three years of progressive accounting experience; construction, commercial or residential services or trade industry, or public accounting/audit experience strongly preferred. Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance required. Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including pivot tables, lookups, and data manipulation. Experience with multi-entity ERP or construction accounting software (e.g., Sage, NetSuite, QuickBooks Online) is a strong advantage; working knowledge of WIP schedules and job costing is a plus. Strong attention to detail and the ability to work independently while adapting to change in a fast-paced environment. Clear written and verbal communication with leadership and cross-functional teams.
