Job Summary

DeWine Mechanical, a leading mechanical contractor serving the ethanol, biofuels, food processing, and industrial markets, is experiencing record growth—and we are strengthening our accounting function to support that expansion.

We are seeking a Senior Accountant who will play a critical role in modernizing our financial processes, improving accuracy and billing velocity, supporting compliance and prevailing wage requirements, and partnering closely with our Controller to elevate the entire accounting operation.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys untangling complex problems, improving systems, and building scalable accounting processes in a fast-paced construction environment. If you like ownership, variety, and meaningful impact, this is the job.

Lead improvements to billing timeliness and accuracy, including prevailing wage compliance and documentation

Support the team in addressing 45Z tax credit requirements and retroactive wage adjustments

Conduct internal audits to ensure compliance with GAAP, company policies, and federal/state regulations

Evaluate, streamline, and standardize accounting workflows to reduce bottlenecks

ERP & Systems Modernization

Serve as a key contributor in the transition from QuickBooks to a modern ERP system (e.g., Sage Intacct)

Help design and implement better accounting controls, reporting structures, and process automation

Cross-Functional Partnership

Work side-by-side with our Controller as a strategic partner—not just a task executor

Collaborate with project managers, operations leaders, and executives to ensure accurate job costing and financial visibility

Serve as the primary contact for external auditors and tax preparers

Qualifications
