Project Accountant

Creative Financial Staffing

PROJECT ACCOUNTANT
Salary: $70,000-$80,000+ annual bonus | Full-Time | Onsite | Pittsburgh Area

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
This is a standout opportunity for a Project Accountant who wants visibility, stability, and real ownership in a growing organization-not just another accounting seat.


Our client is a well-established, multi-entity organization in a sustained growth phase, bringing this role back after recognizing how critical strong project accounting is to operational success. You will work directly with project managers and accounting leadership, becoming a key financial partner to the business.


Why this role attracts high-quality Project Accountants:

  • Business-facing role - Partner closely with project managers, not buried in back-office accounting
  • True job-cost ownership - From setup through forecasting, billing, and WIP reporting
  • Growth environment - Company is expanding and reinvesting in key accounting talent
  • Low turnover culture - Long-tenured shared services team and stable leadership
  • Excellent benefits - Medical, dental, and vision premiums 100% paid by employer
  • Clear long-term runway - Potential to grow into a Senior Project Accountant seat
  • Hands-on, visible work - Your analysis directly impacts project performance and decision-making

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys connecting financial data to real-world project outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Partner with project managers to ensure accurate job setup, cost coding, and cost structure
  • Analyze job costs, committed costs, projections, and forecasts
  • Prepare WIP reporting and percent-complete revenue calculations
  • Support project billing, including T&M, progress billing, and AIA formats
  • Review contracts, change orders, and provide financial cost summaries
Qualifications:
  • 2-5 years of project or job-cost accounting experience
  • Construction or industrial project accounting background preferred
  • Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP) and project accounting system experience
