In the fast-paced, high-stakes world of commercial construction, finding a company that feels like a true family is rare. Yet, at Charter Construction, that familial bond is exactly what defines the culture. For decades, Charter has built a reputation not just on the quality of its concrete but on caring for our people. It is a place where careers span decades and where second-generation team members choose to follow in their parents’ footsteps.
Senior Staff Accountant Taylor Binkley is a living testament to that legacy. For Taylor, Charter has been a constant thread throughout her entire life.
Growing Up Charter
Taylor’s connection to the company began long before her first official day on the payroll. Her mother, Teresa Binkley, has been with Charter for 30 years, starting her tenure a few years before Taylor was born. Taylor’s sister also spent years working in Charter’s HR department.
“Charter has always been family,” Taylor recalled. “Every time I visited the office as a kid, I always felt really welcomed and special.”
Despite her deep roots in the office, Taylor’s professional journey initially pointed in a completely different direction: nursing. While pursuing her initial studies, she took a part-time job at Charter to help support her education. That decision fundamentally altered her career path. Surrounded by the company’s supportive atmosphere, she discovered a natural affinity for financial management.
“I’ve always loved numbers,” Taylor shared. “Working at Charter helped me realize this is the path I want to take more than another job.”
She officially shifted her focus, earned her accounting degree from Southern New Hampshire University, and transitioned into a full-time accounting role. Seven years later, she has grown into her current position as senior staff accountant.
Streamlining the Numbers and Cultivating the Culture
Today, Taylor has become an important part of Charter’s accounting team, helping to improve financial systems and processes behind the scenes.
One of Taylor’s primary responsibilities centers on streamlining Charter’s month-end reporting process. The role requires constant coordination, organization, and accuracy across multiple projects and teams. It is work that directly supports the company’s operations and long-term growth. While Taylor loves the challenge of the numbers, what she values most is the environment in which she gets to solve them.
“We all strive to do the best job we possibly can, but try to approach it with a laid-back attitude and openness to trying new things,” she explained.
That balance of professionalism and approachability is something Taylor believes makes Charter unique within the construction industry. Leadership remains accessible, collaboration happens naturally across departments, and employees genuinely support one another both professionally and personally.
That environment also creates opportunities for people to grow into new roles and responsibilities over time. Taylor experienced that firsthand as she transitioned from a part-time employee to a long-term career with the company.
Charter Construction: A Place to Build a Life Around
Taylor’s journey from a kid visiting her mom’s desk to a senior staff accountant leading month-end operations beautifully encapsulates the Charter difference. By fostering internal growth and treating every employee with genuine care, Charter creates a workspace where people don’t just clock in—they build a life.
As Taylor summarizes perfectly for anyone looking to join the team:
“I’ve experienced a real sense of belonging at Charter,” Taylor shared. “If you want an environment that treats you like family, Charter is the place for you.”
That sense of belonging continues to shape the company today. It is built through long-term relationships, mentorship, and people who genuinely care about the success of those around them. For Taylor and many others at Charter, that is what turns a company into something more than just a place to work.
