Software Skills: Hands-on experience with Sage ERP systems (or equivalent construction-focused accounting software) is a huge plus.
Analytical Eye: Exceptional attention to detail when verifying job costing, line items, and payment schedules.
Composure & Communication: Ability to collaborate across project management and field teams, adapt quickly to changing project priorities, and communicate professionally under pressure.
