Certified Public Accountant

Our client is an established design-build contractor in the Phoenix, Arizona metro. They design and build custom swimming pools, landscapes, and complete outdoor living spaces for high-end residential properties, and they run their own design and construction crews rather than subcontracting the work out.

That one decision shapes this entire role. When a company builds everything itself, every invoice that arrives — concrete, rebar, tile, pool equipment, rented excavation gear, masonry materials — has to land on the right project and the right construction phase. The general ledger will balance whether or not you get that part right. Job profitability will not. Which is exactly why the client is blunt that this is not a data-entry seat.

You will start in transactional work: entering invoices, processing documentation, supporting Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, and learning how their jobs, vendors, and chart of accounts actually fit together. From there the role is built to widen — into reconciliations, job costing, month-end support, and financial reporting. That progression is written into the job description itself, not dangled at the end of it.

What the client is really buying is judgment. Someone who understands the principle behind the entry, notices when something does not look right, and asks a question rather than making an assumption. If you have ever been the person who found the duplicate invoice before it got paid, this is your seat.
