Project Accountant

Project Accountant

Salary $85,000 $100,000 DOE Location: Tacoma, WA (Onsite)

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Join a well-established general contractor with a strong reputation for delivering public sector and community-focused construction projects throughout the region. This role offers the opportunity to work closely with project leadership, gain visibility across multiple projects, and play a vital role in financial performance from project startup through closeout.

Highlights include:

• Comprehensive medical plan options, including HSA and PPO offerings
• 401(k) with company match up to 4%
• Planned hybrid flexibility in the future
• Stable, team-oriented culture with long-term growth opportunities
• Exposure to a diverse portfolio of commercial construction projects

Key Responsibilities for the Project Accountant Role:

• Manage project setup, financial tracking, and maintenance within the accounting system.
• Collaborate with Project Managers on billing, accounts receivable, and project financial reporting.
• Review contracts, subcontracts, and change documentation to ensure accuracy and compliance.
• Oversee subcontractor compliance requirements and process vendor payments.
• Support project teams throughout the project lifecycle, including reconciliations and project closeout activities.

Qualifications for the Project Accountant:

• 3+ years of experience in project accounting, construction accounting, or general ledger accounting.
• Strong reconciliation, reporting, and contract administration experience.
• Experience with construction ERP systems; Vista/Viewpoint experience is a plus. Knowledge of public sector construction projects is highly valued.

If you're an accounting professional who enjoys partnering with operations teams, building strong project relationships, and contributing to successful construction projects, we'd love to hear from you.
