About Alabama Grading:

Our communities need resilient infrastructure with minimal environmental impact to thrive.

About you:

• You have 3+ years experience performing business accounting and data analysis with QuickBooks

• You’re a “leave it to me” kind of person, entrepreneurial in nature. You’re not looking to follow the blueprint of a well-oiled machine. You’re comfortable asking for clarification if needed and then you enjoy rolling up your sleeves to find new ways to increase efficiency, profit and productivity. Determined, self-reliant, and smart. You’ve got it — and we want it.
• You’re not just all about business and data. You’re very much about people, too. You strike the right balance between professionalism and empathy, always seeking win-win outcomes. You foster enduring partnerships built on trust and collaboration
