• Handle revenue and cost-of-sales activity
• Reconcile escrow and settlement information

• Assist with cost-to-complete and inventory analysis

? Controls & Compliance

• Assist with audit and tax support
• Help maintain strong accounting processes and documentation

? Experience with WIP, retention and project-related accounting

• Yardi
