About the Company
An established and growing Central New York-based firm with operations in architecture, engineering, construction, and real estate development is seeking a Senior Accounting Specialist to support its Architecture & Engineering (A&E) business line. The organization has experienced significant expansion and is restructuring its accounting function to support long-term growth.
This role offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic and mission-driven team working on a diverse portfolio of commercial and community-driven projects throughout the region.
About the Role
This newly created position will serve as a key support partner to the A&E Controller and will be integral to the accounting operations of the A&E division. The selected candidate will gain deep exposure to project accounting within professional services and may grow into an Accounting Manager role over time.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist the A&E Controller with daily, monthly, and quarterly accounting activities.
- Support project accounting, billing cycles, reconciliations, and reporting processes.
- Manage AP/AR workflows and collaborate with internal teams to ensure accurate records.
- Analyze budgets, job costs, and financial trends specific to engineering and architectural projects.
- Prepare financial statements and documentation as needed.
- Coordinate with other accounting staff across business units to maintain consistency and compliance.
Ideal Candidate Will Have
- 3–6+ years of accounting experience, preferably within professional services (A&E, construction, or related).
- Strong foundational skills in AP, AR, billing, general ledger, and financial reconciliation.
- Proven adaptability and problem-solving mindset; able to navigate evolving project scopes and deadlines.
- High attention to detail and strong organization skills, with comfort working in a lean team environment.
- Proficiency with Excel and accounting systems (experience with Azure or Key Styles a plus, but not required).
- Excellent communication skills and an ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
- A desire for professional growth and potential to move into a supervisory or specialized role in the future.
Work Environment & Culture
- The position is in-office, with Buffalo strongly preferred. Syracuse-based candidates will also be considered.
- The company fosters a family-oriented, flexible culture that values work-life balance.
- After a successful 6-month orientation, remote flexibility (e.g., occasional WFH days) may be discussed.
- Leadership values transparency, collaboration, and supporting employees as full human beings—both professionally and personally.
