Step into a high-impact role where you’ll directly influence multimillion-dollar construction projects and partner with executive leadership to drive growth. This is a rare opportunity to become the financial backbone of a rapidly scaling construction organization.

Project Accountant (Construction)
Salary: $110,000 – $120,000 + bonus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Work directly with executive leadership as a true right-hand partner influencing major business decisions
• Take ownership of financials across large-scale, high-rise and development projects valued in the hundreds of millions
• Be part of a company in transformation mode with a clear path to scale from ~$120M to $500M+
• Gain exposure to diverse operations across New York, Florida, and international projects
• High visibility role with direct impact on project performance and company growth
• Opportunity to help modernize systems (QuickBooks → Sage Intacct) and improve processes from the ground up
• Fast decision-making environment, your work will drive immediate action and results
• Strong career trajectory with potential to expand into broader leadership or multi-entity oversight roles
• Collaborative environment bridging finance and operations across multiple project teams

Key Responsibilities for the Project Accountant:
• Own full project accounting lifecycle from bid through closeout
• Track costs, revenue, and project progress across 8–10 active construction projects
• Manage AIA billing, change orders, subcontractor payments, and lien waivers
• Partner with project managers to translate operational updates into financial reporting
• Ensure accuracy, timeliness, and control of all project-related financial activity

Qualifications for the Project Accountant:
• 5+ years of project accounting experience, preferably in construction
• Strong knowledge of AIA billing, requisitions, and subcontractor processes
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
• Experience managing financials across multiple concurrent projects

Location:
• Baldwin, NY - On-site; local candidate only (steps from LIRR Baldwin Station)

Schedule:
• On-site, Monday to Friday 8am-5pm
