Construction Project Accountant
On-site | Mesa, AZ | Full-time
If you want to know about the requirements for this role, read on for all the relevant information.
Our client is an award-winning specialty contractor that produces its own building materials and delivers high-efficiency roofing and insulation projects statewide. With backlog growing and a system upgrade on the horizon, they are adding a Construction Project Accountant to tighten cost controls, accelerate billing, and provide real-time analytics that keep field and finance teams in lockstep. If you enjoy translating numbers into operational insight, this could be your next move.
What You'll Tackle
- Own job-cost set-up, cost-code integrity, and WIP schedule accuracy for dozens of short-cycle projects each month.
- Investigate margin swings, material usage variances, and under/over billings, then brief project leads on corrective actions.
- Prepare AIA progress billings (roughly one-third of your time) and track retainage through collection.
- Collaborate with project managers to capture approved change orders and ensure timely invoicing.
- Drive a three-day month-end close: prepare journal entries, reconcile balance-sheet accounts, and finalize financials for executive review.
- Maintain fixed-asset sub-ledger and inventory adjustments generated by the production team.
- Serve as finance lead on an upcoming ERP transition (Microsoft Dynamics experience is a plus).
- Develop ad-hoc dashboards that compare actual pounds of spray foam to budget and highlight emerging trends.
- Partner daily with operations and production; walk the yard when needed to understand job realities.
- Mentor junior staff and step in for the owner during peak periods or vacations—an ideal proving ground for promotion.
The Right Fit
- 4-8+ years of progressive accounting experience with at least two years in construction or specialty trades.
- Proven command of job costing, WIP reporting, and percentage-of-completion revenue recognition.
- Hands-on AIA billing and collections experience.
- Advanced Excel plus familiarity with construction ERPs (Dynamics, Sage, etc.).
- Comfortable on a jobsite, able to build rapport with crews, and open to change in a fast-moving environment.
What's In It For You
- Competitive base salary.
- Career path: Roadmap to Accounting Manager and beyond as the company scales.
- Stability: Privately held, 50-year legacy with in-house product manufacturing.
- Impact: Your insights will directly influence pricing strategy, resource planning, and profitability.
