Job Summary
Byler Holdings is a multi-entity organization with operations across roughly 26 business locations and an active pipeline of construction and capital projects. We are creating a dedicated Fixed Asset Accounting Manager position to own the fixed asset function end to end — not just to maintain the register, but to rebuild it.
This is a build-and-own role. The first year is heavy on reconciliation, cleanup, and standardization: bringing legacy asset records into agreement across entities, retiring what should have been retired years ago, aligning asset classes and useful lives, and establishing a work-in-progress process that actually reflects how our construction projects run. From there, the role shifts toward stewardship and continuous improvement — a permanent seat as the person who owns capital assets for the organization.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable inheriting imperfect data and methodical enough to fix it, but who also has the perspective to redesign the process rather than simply clean up inside the old one.
Duties
- Maintain the complete fixed asset register across all entities: additions, transfers between entities and locations, disposals, and retirements
- Determine capitalization versus expense treatment in line with company policy and GAAP, and advise operations and project staff on gray-area items
- Establish and maintain consistent asset classes, useful lives, and naming conventions across every company file
- Own asset master data quality — including tagging, location assignment, and the identification and removal of ghost assets
Construction Projects and Work in Progress
- Serve as the finance owner for capital construction projects, from project setup through placed-in-service
- Accumulate and review project costs in WIP, working directly with project managers and operations to validate coding and completeness
- Redesign and implement the organization's work-in-progress process, including intake, cost capture, review cadence, and the criteria and mechanics for closing WIP into service
- Determine placed-in-service dates and execute the transfer from WIP to depreciable assets on a timely basis
- Report on WIP balances and project status to finance leadership
Depreciation and Multi-Book Accounting
- Run and review monthly depreciation across all books maintained in house — GAAP, MACRS, bonus, and applicable state books
- Reconcile the fixed asset subledger to the general ledger for every entity, monthly, with documented support
- Prepare fixed asset roll-forwards and depreciation schedules for internal reporting, audit, and tax preparation
- Maintain consistency of methods, conventions, and elections across all company files, and resolve the differences that exist today
Systems and Process
- Own the fixed asset system: configuration, data integrity, and integration with Sage Intacct
- Contribute to the selection, implementation, and data migration of fixed asset software as that project advances
- Draft and maintain the capitalization policy and supporting desk procedures
- Own the fixed asset tasks within the monthly close template and drive them to on-time completion
- Identify opportunities to automate and simplify — this role is expected to leave the function in better shape than it found it
Experience
- Proven experience managing fixed asset accounting within a corporate or non-profit environment.
- Strong knowledge of IFRS, GAAP, SOX compliance, and regulatory reporting standards.
- Demonstrated ability to lead accounting teams effectively while managing multiple priorities.
- Extensive experience with accounting software such as Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, or similar platforms; proficiency in Excel data analysis is essential.
- Familiarity with governmental or public sector accounting practices is a plus.
- Excellent understanding of financial concepts including double entry bookkeeping, account reconciliation, cost analysis, and financial reporting.
- Prior experience in financial close processing, balance sheet reconciliation, and accounts payable/receivable functions is highly desirable.
Join us as we strengthen our financial foundation through meticulous fixed asset management! This role offers an engaging environment where your expertise will directly impact our operational success while supporting our commitment to regulatory compliance and financial excellence.
