If you’re a construction accountant seeking deeper exposure, ownership, and a clear path to leadership, this role offers hands-on involvement in in-house GC projects and real visibility with management.


Construction Accountant


Salary: 75,000 to 90,000


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Direct involvement with in-house GC construction projects — not just transactional accounting
    • Clear growth path with cross-training and progression toward backup Accounting Manager responsibilities
    • High visibility with leadership through monthly financials and reporting
    • Exposure to the full construction accounting lifecycle: draws, job costing, GL, and compliance
    • Stable, well-structured environment with established processes and expectations
    • Opportunity to strengthen systems experience (ERP, Procore, Textura)
    • Collaborative team environment with strong ownership and accountability culture


Key Responsibilities for the Construction Accountant:



  • Prepare and support monthly construction bank draws and job cost reporting
    • Perform GL accounting, reconciliations, and intercompany transactions
    • Assist with monthly financial reporting packages for management
    • Process subcontractor billings, vendor invoices, and overhead costs
    • Support subcontract administration, lien waivers, retainage, and compliance tracking


Qualifications for the Construction Accountant:



  • Bachelor’s degree in accounting
    • 2+ years of construction accounting experience
    • Strong job cost accounting and GL experience
    • Proficiency with Microsoft products; ERP experience required (Procore/Textura a plus)
