Project Accountant

Job Description

Job Description

Leasure Group is the parent company of four construction and design entities: National Ceramic Tile and Stone (NCTS), Capitol City Stucco (CCS), NCTS Fabrication, and Decorz. We're a growing, multi-entity specialty contractor group looking for an experienced Project Accountant to join our centralized billing team supporting all four companies.

Role Summary

We're hiring a Project Accountant to manage project billing, lien compliance, and pay application processes across our commercial construction portfolio in California and Nevada. This is a detail-critical role — you'll be the last line of defense before billings go out and payments come in, so precision and follow-through matter more than speed.

What You'll Do

•        Lead preparation of monthly progress billings and AIA pay applications (G702/G703), ensuring accuracy and full compliance using Sage 100 Contractor/Spectrum, Textura, GCPay, and Procore

•        Manage subcontractor and vendor lien waiver collection (conditional/unconditional, progress and final) and maintain sub-tier/supplier release logs

•        File and track preliminary notices (preliens) to secure lien rights, per CA and NV requirements

•        Handle DAS140/DAS142 certified payroll compliance documentation as required by project

•        Prepare and analyze over/under-billing summaries and reconcile billed-to-date, cost-to-date, and retention

•        Coordinate with project managers, estimators, and superintendents to keep billing aligned with job progress and contract terms

•        Maintain organized, audit-ready billing files and documentation for each active job

•        Flag compliance gaps or missing documentation before they become payment delays

•        Manage project prequalification: review upcoming projects and submit required financial and compliance information to general contractors through BuildingConnected, Vertikal, and similar construction prequalification platforms

What You Bring

•        Sage 100 Contractor and/or Spectrum ERP — hands-on experience is mandatory ; proficiency will be tested as part of the hiring process prior to offer

•        Textura and GCPay — working proficiency for pay app submission and lien waiver management

•        Procore — experience for job cost/billing coordination

•        AIA billing formats (G702/G703) — solid understanding

•        Experience managing preliminary notices (preliens) , progress lien waivers , and vendor/subcontractor waivers

•        DAS140/DAS142 certified payroll compliance requirements — familiarity

•        Experience with project prequalification submissions via BuildingConnected , Vertikal , or similar GC prequalification platforms

•        California and/or Nevada construction billing experience preferred — lien law and compliance timelines differ by state, and this role covers both

•        Strong organizational skills and comfort managing multiple active jobs/deadlines at once

•        Minimum ~2+ years of project/construction accounting experience

Nice to Have

•        Prior experience in tile/stone, stucco, fabrication, or specialty trade contracting

•        Experience supporting multiple entities/companies out of one centralized billing function
