- Coordinate with our CPA during year-end reporting and tax preparation.
- Recommend process improvements, automation opportunities, and stronger internal controls.
- Assist leadership with financial planning, profitability analysis, and operational decision-making.
- Support project accounting, job costing, and change order financial oversight as needed.
What We're Looking For
