Project Accountant


Are you a detail-oriented Project Accountant looking for an opportunity to gain exposure to large-scale, high-profile projects while building a long-term career? This Project Accountant role offers the chance to work closely with project and operational leaders, develop broad accounting expertise, and contribute directly to the financial success of complex projects.
As a Project Accountant, you will partner with Project Managers and cross-functional teams to manage project billings, collections, forecasting, contract administration, and cash flow planning. This is an exciting opportunity for a Project Accountant who enjoys collaboration, problem-solving, and working in a fast-paced environment where no two projects are the same.

What You'll Do



  • Prepare and submit invoices, pay estimates, lien waivers, payroll reports, insurance certificates, sworn statements, and other required contract documentation.

  • Manage billing packages and proactively follow up to ensure timely collections.

  • Maintain accurate cash collection forecasts and monitor contractual payment cycles.

  • Track project billings from submission through funding and collection.

  • Develop job-specific cash management plans and financial reporting.

  • Monitor contract values, change orders, and project financial performance.


What We're Looking For



  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Economics, or a related field.

  • 2+ years of project accounting, project billing, accounts receivable, construction accounting, manufacturing accounting, or related experience.

  • Experience supporting project-based environments such as construction, engineering, HVAC, industrial, or manufacturing organizations is highly preferred.

  • Experience with project accounting systems; exposure to CMiC is a plus.

  • Adaptable, tech-savvy, and interested in process improvement initiatives.

  • Proven job stability and a desire to build a long-term career.


Why Consider This Project Accountant Opportunity?


This Project Accountant position offers exceptional visibility into large, complex projects and provides a structured career path with opportunities to advance from Project Accountant to senior-level roles. You'll gain exposure to accounting, operations, project management, and financial controls while working in a collaborative culture that values professional development, mentorship, and career growth.
