We are seeking a Construction Bookkeeper / Accounting Manager to support a well-established construction organization based in the Vail Valley. This opportunity is ideal for an accounting professional with strong construction accounting experience who enjoys managing job costing, financial reporting, and day-to-day accounting operations in a project-driven environment.

The organization has built a strong reputation delivering high-end residential remodels and commercial construction projects. This role will play a key part in maintaining accurate financial records, supporting project performance, and providing leadership with meaningful financial insights.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Flexible full-time schedule as an independent contractor

  • Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience and qualifications


Key Responsibilities

  • Manage day-to-day accounting operations including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and general ledger activity within QuickBooks

  • Oversee construction job costing, expense allocations, draw preparation, and cash flow forecasting

  • Maintain subcontractor and vendor compliance documentation including insurance certificates, W-9s, and 1099 reporting

  • Prepare monthly financial statements, bank and credit card reconciliations, and project budget reporting

  • Support tax and compliance requirements including sales and use tax filings and coordination with external CPA


Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance with 5+ years of accounting experience, ideally within construction or real estate environments

  • Strong proficiency with QuickBooks, Excel (including Pivot Tables and VLOOKUP), and Microsoft Office 365

  • Highly organized, detail-oriented professional with strong analytical skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
