Construction Accountant & Operations Manager

Intangibles Talent builds dedicated, high performing teams in Mexico for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction firms across the U.S. and Canada. You join one client full time as a long term member of their team, with structured onboarding and ongoing support from our side.

This role supports a U.S. General Contractor running multiple concurrent projects. You will own the accounting function and the back office: the books, the monthly close, payroll, job costing, and the administrative and HR processes that keep the company running.

We are looking for someone who already knows how construction accounting works in practice, not someone who wants to learn it.

Hands on construction accounting for a U.S. company: job costing, project budgets, and retainage
QuickBooks Online, used regularly in the last two years
U.S. payroll processing or coordination through a provider such as ADP, Paychex, Gusto, or QuickBooks Payroll, including labor cost allocation by project
Working knowledge of U.S. tax compliance at the back office level.
English B2 or higher, written and spoken
Proven discretion with confidential financial and employee data
Strong attention to detail and the ability to work independently on U.S. hours

Preferred

Procore
WIP schedules, over and under billings
Certified payroll, LCP Tracker, and prevailing wage compliance
Lien waivers, certificates of insurance, and bonding requirements
HR administration experience: onboarding, PTO, benefits

What you will own on the finance side

Pay application uploads. Monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports, cash flow forecasting, and budget versus actual analysis. Coordination with the CPA firm on statements and tax filings. Fixed asset register and loan documentation.

What you will oversee on the operations and HR side

Back office processes and administrative coordination. Employee records, onboarding and offboarding logistics, and PTO tracking. Benefits administration support. Vendor documentation, subcontractor compliance (insurance certificates and lien waivers), and compliance filings. Audit support and documentation. Process improvements that keep the back office organized and efficient.

How to apply

Send your resume in English and answer this in two or three sentences: how do you record a subcontractor invoice with 10% retainage, and when is that retainage released? Applications without the answer will not be reviewed.
