Senior Accountant / Accounting Manager - US Construction Clients

About the role

An Accounting Manager is needed to own the accounting and reporting work for a portfolio of US clients, with a focus on construction. You will manage several client engagements at once and lead a team of accountants. In the first phase you will do all client work yourself to learn the workflows, standards and clients; once consistent quality is shown, full client ownership and team leadership are handed over.

Key responsibilities

• Manage the full accounting cycle for multiple US clients: bookkeeping review, reconciliations, month-end close and financial reporting.
• Apply construction accounting correctly, including job costing, WIP schedules and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition.
• Review revenue recognition against contract terms and flag discrepancies with a proposed fix.
• Prepare and review recurring reporting workbooks, journal entries and client deliverables.
• Reconcile bank and credit card accounts to the penny and ensure balance sheets are reconciled before sign-off.
• Lead, train and review the work of team members once they are assigned.
• Set priorities, track open items and manage deadlines across clients.
• Communicate directly with internal leadership and clients on status, issues and solutions.
• Improve processes, checklists and documentation for consistency across the team.

Required profile

• Hands-on experience with US clients, public accounting and construction accounting.
• ACCA, CMA or CA qualification (or finalist).
• Ability to work 9:00 AM EST to 6:00 PM EST, Monday to Friday.
• Fluent English, written and spoken.
• Experience managing multiple clients at once and leading or reviewing other accountants.

Required skills

• Hands-on QuickBooks Online experience.
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets (formulas, structured workbooks, data checks).
• Preferred: QuickBooks Desktop, construction software such as JobTread, Procore or Buildertrend, and exposure to payroll, sales tax or QoE work.
