The Staff Accountant — Job Costing supports the accounting team across daily transactional work, weekly job cost review, and month-end close for a multi-entity marine construction and boatyard operation. This role sits at the intersection of core accounting and job costing, working with automated and AI-assisted reporting tools to keep job data accurate and the close on schedule.

This is a hands-on role with a wide runway. The Staff Accountant will own bank reconciliations from day one, investigate exceptions flagged by our automated job reports, and grow into WIP support and multi-entity close responsibilities as the company completes a migration to a new ERP platform. We are hiring for flexibility and curiosity — the responsibilities below will evolve, and the right person will treat that as the best part of the job.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Reconciliations & Core Accounting

· Prepare bank   reconciliations across multiple entities and accounts

· Reconcile credit   card activity; identify and resolve missing bills or payments before close

· Provide support   and backup coverage for Accounts Payable, including vendor bill entry and   invoice matching during peak periods and staff absences

Job Costing & Exception Review

· Work the   daily/weekly exception queue produced by automated job cost and margin   reporting: investigate flagged jobs, resolve variances, and correct jobs that   are not automating properly

· Review purchase   orders daily so month-end accruals are complete and accurate

· Assist the   Controller with WIP schedule assembly and job cost journal entries

· Support shop   stock, allocation, revenue, and accrual entries as assigned

Month-End Close

· Execute assigned   close tasks within the company's 4-day close calendar

· Support close   across three entities

· Partner with the   team's automation lead to improve and extend AI-assisted tools

· Hands-on month-end   close experience, including bank and account reconciliations
