Junior Accountant (Construction)
Position Overview
We are looking for a sharp, resourceful Junior Accountant to join our team. In the construction industry, every project has a lot of moving parts—from tracking raw material costs to managing subcontractor payouts. We don’t care as much about a long list of certifications or specific degrees; what we value is a quick learner who applies ingenuity to solve puzzles, organize data, and keep our project financials tracking perfectly.
If you are a proactive problem-solver who understands core accounting principles and loves the challenge of making numbers tell a clear story, you will thrive here.
Key Responsibilities1. Project Costing & Tracking
- Track and allocate expenses (labor, materials, equipment, and subcontracts) to specific construction projects.
- Monitor project budgets against actual spending to help project managers spot cost overruns early.
- Assist in processing subcontractor invoices, verifying lien waivers, and matching progress billings against work completed.
2. Daily Accounting Operations
- Record daily financial transactions, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and expense reports, into Tally.
- Perform regular bank and vendor account reconciliations to ensure data accuracy.
- Help maintain an organized digital filing system for invoices, purchase orders, and receipts.
3. Data Analysis & Reporting
- Use Microsoft Excel to organize financial data, build simple cost trackers, and generate clear summaries for management.
- Investigate financial discrepancies or missing paperwork with a resourceful, curious mindset.
What We Are Looking For
- The Right Mindset: A fast learner with high ingenuity. You don't just wait for instructions; you actively look for ways to streamline spreadsheets, fix errors, and figure out how things work.
- Core Knowledge: A solid, practical understanding of accounting fundamentals and project costing principles.
- Software Skills:
- Hands-on proficiency with Tally for day-to-day bookkeeping.
- Strong comfort level with Microsoft Excel (ability to comfortably sort, filter, use formulas, and organize messy data).
- Qualifications & Certifications: We are highly flexible here. A degree in commerce, accounting, or finance is a plus, but practical skill, adaptability, and a strong work ethic matter much more to us than formal credentials.
- Industry Soft Skills: Excellent communication skills. You will be interacting with project managers, vendors, and site supervisors, so you need to be clear, confident, and patient.
Why Work With Us
We are a fast-paced, down-to-earth team that values practical capability over corporate bureaucracy. We offer a supportive environment where a self-starter can take ownership of their work and quickly grow their career.
