Job Details

Project Accountant - Construction Industry
We're hiring for a detail-oriented Project Accountant to support financial operations within an established construction company. This role is more than just billing-it involves deep financial analysis, contract-driven accounting, and close collaboration with project managers to ensure accurate reporting and cash flow management.

What You'll Do:

• Own accounts receivable (AR) management, ensuring accurate and timely billing for multiple projects.
• Work closely with project managers to track progress, manage lien waivers, and oversee percentage-of-completion billing.
• Handle subcontractor payments, ensuring compliance with the "pay-when-paid" structure.
• Process AIA billing, sales tax reporting, and contract-driven financial oversight for active jobs.
• Assist in analyzing job costs-understanding whether projects are overbilled, underbilled, and financially on track.
• Support ongoing financial reporting, variance analysis, and process improvements.

Who You Are:

• A strong communicator-able to collaborate across teams and articulate financial details effectively.
• Highly organized, detail-driven, and engaged in your work.
• Solid understanding of accounting fundamentals (debits/credits) and strong analytical skills.
• Education: At least an AA in Accounting or Finance is required.
• Industry experience: Construction background strongly preferred, but open to sharp candidates with transferable skills.
• Familiarity with Viewpoint Vista or similar accounting software and a willingness to learn industry-specific financial processes.

Why This Role?

• Strong training & support-you'll be guided by an experienced team, including a knowledgeable mentor who has been in this role.
• Work-life balance-hybrid option available (1 day remote per week after training).
• Low-cost insurance & great benefits.
• Plenty of resources-another team member is already in the role, working on different projects
