• Handle project accounting from setup through final closeout
• Track job costs, budgets, commitments, and project financials
• Manage owner billings and subcontractor invoices
• Assist with WIP reporting, forecasting, and month-end close
• Partner directly with Project Managers on project financial performance
• Maintain accurate project records and identify cost discrepancies
• Support the accounting team as the company continues to grow

What They're Looking For:

• 3+ years of Project Accounting / Construction Accounting experience
• Previous construction or General Contractor experience preferred
• Strong understanding of job costing, billing, and construction financials
• Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple projects
• Someone looking for a stable, long-term opportunity with room to grow

Compensation & Benefits:

• 💰 $80K–$90K base salary + bonus potential
• 🌴 Unlimited PTO — employees are encouraged to take at least 15 days each year
• 🏥 Comprehensive health benefits
• 📈 Strong opportunity for long-term career progression
• 🏗️ Growing organization with several sister companies and continued expansion ahead
• 🤝 Collaborative environment with direct exposure to Project Managers and leadership
• 🚀 Join during an exciting growth phase and have the opportunity to grow alongside the business

If you're a Project Accountant looking for a growing construction company where you can have more involvement in the projects and build a long-term career, I'd love to tell you more.
