MAC RENO-DESIGN-BUILD POSITION: ACCOUNTANT
Who We Are
MAC Reno-Design-Build is a growing residential and light commercial design-build company operating across MAC Reno-Design-Build, MAC Island Construction, and Coastal Accents Millwork. We build and strengthen community through world-class craftsmanship, trusted partnerships, and a team that is humble, hungry, and smart. Our values of collaboration, curiosity, integrity, and C.A.R.E. - Create A Referable Experience - guide how we work with each other, our clients and trade partners.
The Role
We are looking for an analytical, systems-oriented Accountant for a broad, hands-on role covering AP, AR, cash, reconciliations, capital and cost tracking, with progressive responsibility across the full accounting cycle, month-end close, financial reporting and analysis. In our project-based construction environment, you need to understand how transactions affect project costs, cash, the GL, financial reporting and business decisions. The role also supports payroll accounting, including journal entries, accruals, reconciliations and labour-to-job-cost posting. This role is well suited to someone who asks questions, investigates discrepancies and looks for better ways of working, ideally while pursuing or considering the CPA designation.
Reports To: Controller
Location: Hybrid/Remote - Pacific Time
Employment: Full-Time
Salary Range: $68,000–$78,000 annually
What you'll own
Accounts Payable and Vendor Accounting:
You review and process vendor invoices using TrailD, ensuring accurate coding, documentation, approvals and accounting-period cut-off. You investigate discrepancies, duplicate invoices, missing approvals and other exceptions, maintain accurate vendor records, process employee expenses and corporate credit cards, and prepare payment batches for review and authorization.
Accounts Receivable & Cash
You record and apply customer payments, investigate unapplied or incorrectly applied receipts, support AR aging and collections, and reconcile cash and banking transactions. You help ensure cash and customer-account information is accurate, current and properly supported.
General Accounting & Month-End
You support the full accounting cycle, including general ledger accounting, journal entries, bank, credit-card and balance-sheet reconciliations, prepaids, accruals, capital assets, depreciation and supporting schedules. You investigate reconciling items and root causes, support GST/PST and year-end requirements, and progressively take on greater responsibility for month-end close, reporting and analysis.
Systems, Workflow & Business Process Improvement
A key part of this role is helping MAC continuously improve how Finance works. You develop a strong understanding of our Finance workflows and systems, identify duplicate entry, manual workarounds, data-quality issues and inefficient processes, and help document, standardize and improve them. You use Excel, data analytics, automation and appropriate AI tools to improve accounting processes.
Internal Controls & Financial Integrity
You follow established approval and segregation-of-duties requirements, maintain complete supporting documentation and audit trails, and identify unusual transactions, control gaps and recurring process issues.
What Success Looks Like
- Invoices are captured, coded, and matched accurately; payments are prepared, never released solo.
- Receipts are applied promptly; AR aging is current; daily cash is visible to the Controller.
- Reconciliations and accounting schedules are complete and current - no unexplained balances and no surprises at month-end.
- Practical process improvements, automation, and AI opportunities are identified and implemented - less manual work, duplicate entry, and recurring rework.
- Segregation of duties and financial controls are followed on every transaction; issues are raised and resolved - not worked around.
Technology you will work in
- Acumatica - ERP and accounting
- TrailD - AP automation and approvals
- Buildertrend - project management, job cost and WIP
- Lumber - labour, payroll and job-cost information
- Banking portals - cash and deposit management
- Google Workspace - email, spreadsheets and document management
- ChatGPT/Claude - AI integration and automation
What we are looking for
Required
- At least two years of post-secondary accounting coursework or equivalent accounting education and experience. A completed degree or diploma is preferred but not required.
- Approximately 2–5 years of progressive accounting experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Sound accounting fundamentals, including accrual accounting, GL coding, cut-off, journal entries and reconciliations.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to investigate discrepancies, identify root causes and follow issues through to resolution.
- Process-improvement mindset with an interest in end-to-end accounting workflows, identifying inefficiencies, duplicate entry and control gaps.
- Interest or experience in data analytics, reporting, automation, AI or emerging technologies to improve Finance processes and efficiency.
- Strong Excel skills and ability to analyze financial and operational data.
Assets
- Construction, project accounting, job costing or capital-cost tracking experience.
- Experience with Acumatica or a similar ERP.
Character
- Humble, hungry, and smart - the MAC standard for every team member.
- Think critically and ask questions when something doesn't make sense.
- Seek to understand the entire accounting workflow, not simply your individual task.
- Embrace technology, data analytics, automation, AI and finding better ways of working.
Why MAC
- Genuine growth path: Accountant → Senior Accountant → Controller.
- A growing multi-entity company with real accounting complexity.
- A culture built on integrity, collaboration and doing the right thing.
- A small Finance team where your contributions are visible, and development is a priority.
