Description
Our client is an Arizona-based commercial asphalt and paving contractor with a strong regional reputation for quality and service. Their office team is small, tight-knit, and busy — they run job costing, payroll, and customer billing week in and week out, and every entry feeds a real project profitability report a project manager will read on Monday morning. They are hiring a Staff Accountant to work directly with two senior accountants across the daily rhythm of the business: weekly payroll, job cost entry, new job setup, customer invoicing, and back-end accounting support. This is a role that rewards someone who takes ownership of a recurring workload, catches things that do not look right, and delivers accurate, on-time work week after week without needing to be chased. You will not be the lead. You will be the person the two senior accountants can hand a payroll batch, a stack of AP invoices, or a new job setup to — and trust that it comes back correct the first time. Key Responsibilities Weekly Payroll Processing (Paycom) Assist with processing weekly payroll for field and office employees using Paycom. Verify timekeeping records, hours worked, and payroll inputs for accuracy before each payroll run. Support payroll adjustments, corrections, and employee record updates in Paycom as directed by the senior accountants. Maintain organized payroll documentation and records for compliance, audit, and reporting purposes. Job Cost Entry & Tracking (Foundation) Enter and maintain job cost data in Foundation, the company's construction accounting system. Process accounts payable invoices tied to specific jobs, ensuring every cost is coded to the correct project and cost code. Enter equipment time and usage allocations against the correct job cost codes. Track materials consumed on projects and ensure accurate cost entry into the system. Keep job cost records organized so project profitability reporting is accurate and defensible. Job Setup in Foundation Set up new jobs in Foundation as projects are awarded and mobilized. Ensure job setup is complete and accurate — project details, cost codes, and billing structure — before costs start hitting the job. Coordinate with the accounting team so new job records are ready ahead of the first invoice or timecard. Customer Invoicing Generate customer invoices based on completed work, contract terms, and project milestones. Review invoices for accuracy before distribution — correct job, scope, and amounts. Maintain an organized record of invoices issued, payment status, and outstanding balances. Coordinate with the accounting team on billing questions, adjustments, and dispute research as they arise. Accounting Team Support Assist two senior accountants with day-to-day accounting responsibilities as needed. Support month-end close activities — reconciliations, accruals, and data review — under the seniors' guidance. Handle general accounting tasks: data entry, document organization, and record maintenance. Take on additional accounting and administrative support tasks as the team's needs evolve. Requirements Real experience in accounting or bookkeeping — you have owned recurring accounting tasks, not just observed them. Working understanding of job costing — you know why a cost has to hit the right project and cost code, not just the right GL account. Experience with payroll processing or a payroll platform (Paycom, ADP, Gusto, Rippling, or similar). Strong attention to detail on numbers. Cost codings, hours, and invoice amounts must be right the first time; you notice when they are not. Reliable with recurring weekly and monthly workloads — you deliver the same accurate output every cycle. Comfortable in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets for tracking, reporting support, and reconciliations. Self-directed remote worker who stays closely coordinated with the team without needing constant oversight. Clear, profe
