The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Senior Staff Accountant who knows that numbers don’t just sit in spreadsheets — they drive decisions, protect margins, sharpen operations, and keep high-impact work moving.

This isn’t a back-office, heads-down-only accounting seat.

This is a high-trust, high-accuracy role for someone who can own the details, see the bigger picture, and help keep Alpha’s financial engine tight, clean, and ready for what’s next.

You’ll support core accounting operations, project accounting, job cost tracking, WIP schedules, reconciliations, financial reporting, audits, and process improvements across a company building critical infrastructure throughout Hawaiʻi.

If you’re the kind of accountant who catches what others miss, brings order to complexity, and takes pride in producing work leadership can actually rely on — this might be your lane.

About Alpha Inc.

Alpha Inc. is a locally owned Hawaiʻi company committed to being a leader in construction, drilling, renewable energy, and concrete resources. The company’s work supports Hawaiʻi’s infrastructure, communities, and future — with a focus on quality, innovation, sustainability, and doing the job right.

We live by three core values that shape how we work and lead:

Leading with Heart – We create a supportive and respectful environment where crews, subcontractors, and project teams can perform at their best.

Strength in Unity – We foster strong communication and collaboration between field operations, project management, and supporting departments.

Alpha Mentality – We pursue excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement in every phase of the work.

As Senior Staff Accountant, you’ll carry those values into the numbers — helping ensure our financials are accurate, our controls are strong, and our teams have the information they need to make smart decisions.

What You Will Do

As Senior Staff Accountant, you’ll help keep Alpha’s accounting operations running sharp. You’ll support the Controller, partner with internal teams, and bring discipline to the financial details that matter.

Own the Accounting Fundamentals

  • Perform monthly bank and credit card reconciliations with accuracy and urgency.
  • Maintain the general ledger and support day-to-day accounting activities.
  • Prepare and post journal entries, including accruals, prepaids, and month-end adjustments.
  • Reconcile balance sheet accounts and help ensure financial records are clean, complete, and audit-ready.

Support Month-End, Year-End & Reporting

  • Support month-end and year-end close processes.
  • Generate financial reports in NetSuite and assist with variance analysis.
  • Help leadership understand what the numbers are saying — not just what they are.
  • Assist with audits and provide timely, accurate documentation when needed.

Drive Project Accounting & Job Cost Discipline

  • Track and analyze job costs across multiple projects by cost code and phase.
  • Support monthly WIP schedules and project close-outs.
  • Help connect accounting data to field and project realities.
  • Partner with operations and project teams to improve visibility, accuracy, and accountability.

Strengthen Systems, Controls & Process

  • Identify process improvements that reduce friction, increase accuracy, and strengthen internal controls.
  • Support ad hoc financial projects and special requests as Alpha continues to grow.
  • Bring a continuous improvement mindset to every reconciliation, report, and workflow.

What You Bring

You’re detail-obsessed without being rigid. You can manage deadlines without drama. You know accounting standards matter — but so does communication, follow-through, and earning trust across departments.

Experience

  • 4–6+ years of accounting experience.
  • Construction, project-based, or job cost accounting experience strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of job cost accounting and WIP reporting.
  • Experience supporting month-end close, balance sheet reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting.
  • Audit support experience preferred.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field required.
  • CPA or CPA track is a plus.

Technical Skills

  • ERP experience required; NetSuite preferred.
  • Advanced Excel skills.
  • Solid knowledge of GAAP.
  • Familiarity with ASC 606 is a plus.
  • Strong ability to manage multiple priorities with accuracy and attention to detail.

Mindset

  • You take ownership before being asked.
  • You protect accuracy like it matters — because it does.
  • You communicate clearly with accounting, operations, project management, and leadership.
  • You look for smarter ways to work instead of defending broken processes.
  • You bring calm, precision, and accountability when deadlines are tight.

Most importantly, you embody:

Leading with Heart – You work with respect, humility, and a team-first mindset.

Strength in Unity – You collaborate across departments and help connect the dots.

Alpha Mentality – You hold the standard high, own your work, and keep improving.

You’ll join a team that values:

  • High-impact work connected to real projects across the islands.

  • Leaders who expect excellence and support people who are serious about growing.

The opportunity to help strengthen systems, controls, reporting, and financial discipline as the company continues to scale.

If you want a role where your accuracy matters, your judgment is trusted, and your work helps power something bigger than a balance sheet — Alpha is ready for you.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
