Project Accountant

Ben Hur

Join a legacy of excellence at Ben Hur Construction Company.
For more than a century, Ben Hur has played a vital role in shaping skylines and delivering high-quality construction solutions across the Midwest. What began in 1909 as a local steel erection business has evolved into a trusted regional contractor, recognized for expertise in steel erection, fabrication, and general contracting. Our commitment to craftsmanship, safety, and innovation continues to drive our success-and we're looking for a detail-oriented and proactive  Project Accountant to support the financial success of our construction projects.

About the Role

The Project Accountant supports construction project accounting by managing project billing, collections, accounts receivable, and related records. This role works closely with Project Managers, clients, vendors, and the finance team to ensure accurate billing, timely follow-up, and effective communication throughout the life of each project.

What You'll Do

  • Manage project billings and collections in accordance with contract requirements.
  • Monitor project accounts receivable and follow up on outstanding balances
  • Prepare billing documentation and support timely invoice processing
  • Track unbilled amounts, billing status, and related project accounting records
  • Analyze and prepare reports related to project costs, billings, budgets, and projections.
  • Support project setup activities and maintain project accounting records.
  • Follow established billing procedures and contractual requirements.
  • Review billing documentation for completeness and accuracy.
  • Review, collect, and maintain Certificates of Insurance (COIs) from subcontractors and vendors to ensure compliance with contractual and company insurance requirements.
  • Support compliance with company policies and project accounting best practices.
  • Communicate regularly with Project Managers regarding billing status, collections, and project accounting matters.
  • Coordinate with clients, vendors, and internal stakeholders to resolve billing and payment issues.
  • Investigate and resolve billing discrepancies through timely follow-up and documentation.

What We're Looking For

  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field strongly preferred.
  • 1–3 years of accounting or finance experience required.
  • Construction accounting or project-based accounting experience preferred.
