About Optiline
Optiline Enterprises is a drywall and metal framing contractor with over $100M in annual revenue, building commercial and residential projects across New England, Florida, the Carolinas, and Tennessee.
Our mission: to positively impact the lives of people in the construction industry through opportunities.
Our vision: to become a $1B company by 2034.
Our core values: Family · Own It · Dependable · Passionate · Relationship · Integrity · Innovative · Safety
We don't just build projects. We build people, opportunities, and a better industry - and that starts with the team behind the numbers.
The role
Growth on the jobsite means growth in the ledger. As our project and transaction volume climbs toward that $1B goal, we're adding a General Ledger Accountant to our seven-person finance team, reporting to the Controller.
This is a hands-on, generalist seat built for coverage and consistency. You'll bring strength in reconciliations and reporting, confidence in Excel, and AP and AR exposure that keeps the whole department moving. You'll work alongside an experienced team across the general ledger, payables, receivables, and the close - a broad view of the business and a strong group to learn from.
As Optiline grows, so does this seat. Opportunity is our mission, and it applies to the office as much as the field.
What you'll do
- Account reconciliations: Run monthly bank and cash reconciliations, research reconciling items, and resolve variances with clear support.
- Accounts receivable: Apply customer payments, resolve unapplied cash and short pays, and keep the aging accurate for the customers we serve.
- Accounts payable: Enter and code vendor invoices and support the payables cycle as volume requires, so our vendors and crews can count on us.
- Month-end close support: Prepare and post recurring and accrual journal entries, reconcile balance sheet accounts, tie subledgers to the general ledger, and maintain the close checklist.
- General ledger integrity: Hold the line on chart of accounts discipline, investigate unusual balances, and keep account detail clean and well supported.
- Process documentation: Document the procedures you run and help build consistent, well-controlled accounting practices that scale with us.
You'll shape these responsibilities with the Controller as you come up to speed.
What we're looking for
Required
- Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, or equivalent experience
- 3+ years of full-cycle general ledger accounting, including month-end close
- Real depth in account reconciliation: you can explain a variance, not just flag one
- Hands-on accounts payable experience, including high-volume invoice entry and coding
- Working knowledge of an ERP system and comfort learning a new one
- Intermediate Excel: lookups, pivot tables, reconciling large exports
Preferred
- Experience with a mid-market ERP; Acumatica a plus but not required
- Construction, subcontractor, or other project-based accounting background
- Comfort with AI tools and a willingness to experiment with them to sharpen how the work gets done
- Experience documenting procedures or building close checklists
- An analytical streak and an eye for detail - you notice the number that doesn't belong and enjoy chasing it down
Position details
- Title: General Ledger Accountant
- Reports to: Controller
- Employment type: Full-time, exempt
- Location: Nashua, NH - onsite
- Compensation: $80,000–$90,000 annually, commensurate with experience
- Benefits: Health, Dental, Vision, PTO,Vacation, 401(k)

Accountant Jobs in New Hampshire: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a accountant in New Hampshire?
To become a licensed CPA in New Hampshire, you must pass the Uniform CPA Examination and meet the education and experience requirements set by the New Hampshire Board of Accountancy, which oversees licensure in the state. Most candidates complete a bachelor's degree with the required accounting coursework, accumulate supervised work experience under a licensed CPA, and then apply to the Board for their license before practicing publicly in New Hampshire.
How much do accountants make in New Hampshire?
Accountants in New Hampshire earn a median of about $83,470 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,920 for the lowest 10% to over $131,110 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire accountants in New Hampshire?
Employers hiring accountants in New Hampshire right now include State of New Hampshire, NYCOA, and Wipfli, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New Hampshire's mix of large healthcare systems, defense contractors, and regional manufacturing firms creates consistent year-round accounting demand across both public and private sectors.
Which New Hampshire cities have the most accountant jobs?
Manchester, Concord, and Nashua are the New Hampshire cities with the most accountant openings. Manchester and Nashua anchor the bulk of postings because they host the state's largest corporate offices, healthcare networks, and financial services employers, while Concord draws demand as the state capital with government and regulatory accounting needs that keep openings consistent throughout the year.
Are there remote accountant jobs in New Hampshire?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 18% of accountant openings tied to New Hampshire are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how well the core work translates to a home office. Roles focused on tax preparation, financial reporting, and accounts payable are the most likely to offer fully remote or flexible arrangements compared to positions requiring on-site audit or physical inventory oversight.
How can I get hired as a accountant in New Hampshire with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for staff accountant or accounts payable coordinator roles, which New Hampshire employers like Dartmouth Health and larger Manchester-area manufacturers regularly open to new graduates. Completing the CPA exam sections early, even before full licensure, signals commitment and gives you an edge. Adjacent roles in bookkeeping or payroll at regional firms or nonprofits also provide the documented experience the New Hampshire Board of Accountancy requires for eventual licensure.
Where can I find and apply to accountant jobs in New Hampshire?
You can find and apply to accountant jobs in New Hampshire on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the roles that match your experience and specialization, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
