Construction Xero Bookkeeping Specialist
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I run a busy construction company and need an experienced bookkeeper who already speaks the language of site codes, cost-to-complete reports and retention. Everything is managed in Quickbooks, so you must be fully fluent in that platform—no learning curve, just straight to work.
You will take full ownership of the finance function, from daily transaction entry through monthly close. Core focus is accurate job costing and project-level reporting: allocating every invoice, payroll batch and material receipt to the right job, producing budget-vs-actual snapshots and keeping project managers informed in real time. ***You must know construction accounting. If you don't have in-depth experience in construction please do not respond.***
Key deliverables
• Clean, construction-specific Xero, Quickbooks, other accounting software setup(chart of accounts, tracking categories, live bank feeds)
• Weekly job cost reports and cash-flow snapshots for each project
• Month-end financial package: P&L, balance sheet, WIP schedule and cost-to-complete analysis
• Year-end file ready for the external CPA
Acceptance criteria
• Books reconciled weekly; no unreconciled transactions over seven days old
• Job cost reports issued within three business days of month end and matching accounting software totals
• All data in accounting software ties back to source documents and retains project allocation accuracy above 99 %
If you have extensive construction experience and can hit these marks without hand-holding, let’s talk about next steps.
