About the Full Charge Bookkeeper Role at Robert Half

Robert Half is excited to present an exceptional career opportunity for a skilled Full Charge Bookkeeper in the thriving construction sector. Located in Cypress, Texas, this contract-to-permanent position offers the perfect blend of hands-on accounting experience and long-term career stability. If you thrive in detail-oriented environments and have a proven track record in construction accounting, particularly with QuickBooks, this role is designed for you.

Our client, a dynamic construction firm, requires a bookkeeping professional who can independently manage all financial operations. This position demands exceptional organizational prowess, unwavering attention to detail, and the capability to navigate complex bookkeeping challenges efficiently. As a Full Charge Bookkeeper, you'll be the financial backbone of construction projects, ensuring accuracy from AIA billing to WIP reporting.

Cypress, TX, offers an ideal setting with its booming construction market and proximity to Houston's economic hub. Join Robert Half's network of top-tier accounting talent and position yourself for permanent employment with comprehensive benefits.

Why This Role Stands Out in Construction Accounting

Unlike traditional bookkeeping positions, this role specializes in construction-specific financial management. You'll handle unique elements like retainage, liens, and progress billing, gaining specialized expertise that sets you apart in the job market. Robert Half's reputation for placing top accounting professionals ensures you're working with reputable clients committed to your success.

Key Responsibilities

The Full Charge Bookkeeper will oversee comprehensive financial operations:

• Complete management of accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) processes, ensuring timely vendor payments and client invoicing.
• Execute precise bank reconciliations and meticulous journal entries to maintain financial integrity.
• Lead payroll operations, processing employee payments accurately and on schedule while complying with regulations.
• Specialize in AIA billing and generate detailed work-in-progress (WIP) reports critical for construction project tracking.
• Manage liens, waivers, and retainage documentation to protect company interests and facilitate smooth project closeouts.
• Leverage QuickBooks expertise for daily accounting tasks, from transaction entry to financial record maintenance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to uphold construction accounting standards and regulatory compliance.
• Develop comprehensive financial reports supporting budgeting, forecasting, and strategic decision-making.
• Maintain impeccable records and documentation prepared for audits and financial reviews.
• Utilize advanced Microsoft Excel functions to analyze data and create compelling financial presentations.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on experience as a Full Charge Bookkeeper, preferably in construction or related industries.
• Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks (Desktop and Online) with proven ability to customize for construction needs.
• Deep understanding of construction accounting principles including job costing, percentage-of-completion, and retainage accounting.
• Hands-on experience with AIA forms, WIP schedules, change orders, and construction-specific financial reporting.
• Demonstrated expertise in payroll processing, including multi-state compliance and benefits reconciliation.
• Exceptional Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables, VLOOKUP, and financial modeling.
• Impeccable organizational skills with the ability to prioritize tasks in fast-paced construction environments.
• Strong communication abilities to liaise between field operations, project managers, and executive leadership.
• Familiarity with construction liens, waivers, bonds, and insurance requirements.
