  • Prepare and file multi-state sales and use tax returns, including PA, NJ, and additional project-state jurisdictions as required

  • Reconcile balance sheet accounts and support a timely and accurate month-end close
  • Assist the Controller with year-end audit and tax preparation support and external accountant requests
  • Help maintain and improve accounting processes, internal controls, and documentation


What You'll Bring to the Table:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • Minimum of 5 years of progressive accounting experience covering AR/AP, bank reconciliations, and sales tax
  • Proficiency in QuickBooks and strong Microsoft Excel skills
  • Demonstrated experience preparing multi-state sales and use tax filings
  • Solid understanding of GAAP and the full general ledger and month-end close cycle
  • High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to independently manage multiple deadlines

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in construction, engineering, energy, manufacturing, or another project-based industry
  • Familiarity with job costing and percentage-of-completion or project-based revenue recognition
  • Experience supporting an external audit
