A rapidly growing General Contractor is looking to add 2 Project Accountants to its dynamic Project Accounting team — with the potential for one position to be at the Senior level depending on experience.

If you're a Project Accountant coming from a General Contractor , have experience managing high-volume WIP/project accounting , and thrive in a fast-moving environment, this could be a great opportunity.

  • Own WIP and project accounting responsibilities
  • Partner closely with project teams, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders
  • Prioritize competing deadlines while maintaining accuracy
  • Work independently while communicating effectively across the organization

What They’re Looking For

  • Must already have Project Accounting experience
  • High-volume project accounting experience is essential
  • GC experience strongly preferred
  • Construction Management backgrounds considered for candidates coming from the subcontractor side
  • Residential construction experience highly preferred , particularly high-end residential
  • Strong organizational and prioritization skills
  • Self-sufficient, proactive, and an excellent communicator
  • Great attitude and ability to work well within a highly collaborative, dynamic team
  • Sage Intacct experience is highly preferred — they recently transitioned to the platform

Why Consider It?

You'll be joining a team of approximately 6 Project Accountants
