Junior Project Accountant

About the role

You'll work closely with project managers, operations leaders, and our Senior Accounting Manager to make sure every job is set up correctly, billed accurately, and closed cleanly.

• Independently manage the accounting for a defined portfolio of lower-complexity projects
• Own end-to-end billing for assigned projects, including invoices, change order (CO) billing, and retention tracking
• Successfully support internal financial reviews for assigned projects
• Assist with preparing WIP schedules
• Independently manage the closing process for construction projects

Qualifications

• A bachelor's degree in accounting or finance; or 1-3 years of construction, project, or job-cost accounting experience
• Strong understanding of the WIP process
• Strong Excel and accounting system skills
• Understanding of job setup, billing rules, retention mechanics, and change order impacts
• Ability to manage workload independently and anticipate potential issues
• Confidence interfacing with project managers
