Construction CPA & Advisory Firm · Raleigh, NC Serving NC · SC · VA · FL · MA · RI
Careers at Rodriguez CPA

Build a career helping builders.

We're a bilingual CPA and advisory firm for construction companies, and we're growing. We hire people who want to understand how a business makes money, not only record that it did.


Why work here

Work that goes past the tax return.

Advisory work from the start

You'll prepare work-in-progress (WIP) schedules, job cost reports and cash forecasts, and you'll see how clients use them to make decisions.

One industry, real expertise

We focus on construction and trades. You'll learn retainage, change orders and bonding well enough to become the specialist contractors look for.

A bilingual team

Many of our clients run their companies in Spanish. If you speak both languages, you'll use them every day.

Room to grow

We're a small firm adding clients and people. That means more responsibility sooner, and a say in how the work gets done.

Who does well here

What we look for.

You'll fit in if you

  • Care about getting the details right, every month
  • Are curious about how contractors actually make money
  • Are comfortable talking with business owners
  • Like learning new software and better ways to work

What we expect

  • Languages. English is required. Spanish is a strong advantage in every role, because many of our clients run their companies in Spanish.
  • Construction experience. Helpful but not required for staff and associate roles. Senior and manager roles need experience with construction or another project-based industry.
  • CPA and EA credentials. Not required for staff and associate roles. Senior roles call for a CPA license or progress toward one. Manager roles require an active CPA license. For tax roles, an Enrolled Agent (EA) credential is accepted in place of a CPA license.
