Accounting Manager

VeldCo Holdings is hiring an Accounting Manager to help own the accuracy and integrity of our financial records across assigned entities. This is a hands-on, senior role: you'll prepare and review financials, own the general ledger and accounting master data, manage vendor compliance and 1099 reporting, and serve as the first-level reviewer of financials across assigned entities. Reports to the Controller.

VeldCo Holdings is a growing, family-built enterprise spanning multiple operating divisions, anchored by our roots in VeldCo Construction. We were built on an unwavering dedication to servant leadership — we treat our trade partners, suppliers, teammates, and customers with respect, and we refuse to deviate from or outgrow that mentality as we grow. Join a tight-knit team where your work has real impact and real ownership.

The Accounting Manager is the operational engine of our accounting function — a hands-on, senior position responsible for the accuracy and integrity of the company's financial records across assigned entities. Day to day, you'll prepare and review financial statements and workpapers, own the general ledger and accounting master data, run vendor compliance and 1099 reporting, and perform the first-level review of financials across assigned entities. This person is expected to exercise sound judgement, identify and resolve issues, and deliver accurate, fully supported, review-ready financial statements within established deadlines. The role requires someone who can manage competing priorities, bring order to complex accounting matters, and know when an issue should be escalated. If you like building order out of complexity and take pride in clean, well-supported numbers, this role is for you.
