About the Company

We believe that spaces have the power to change people. With a global team of 60+ experts in venue design, planning, technology, and operations, we have spent decades transforming ideas into vibrant, inclusive environments—for arts organizations, corporations, healthcare systems, sports venues, and more. From Broadway to boardrooms, our work shapes how communities gather, collaborate, and connect.

We're a team that cares deeply about craft, collaboration, and doing great work—and we're looking for someone who shares that drive.

The Opportunity

This is a great role for a detail-oriented accounting professional who has worked in a project-based environment and is ready to grow. You'll own the full project accounting cycle—from billing through closeout—while also serving as a dedicated financial partner to one of our most strategic client relationships.

You don't need to be a Deltek Vantagepoint expert on day one—but comfort with ERP/project accounting platforms and a genuine eagerness to master our systems will set you up for success. If you're someone who enjoys being the financial backbone of a creative, mission-driven company, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do
  • Manage the full project billing lifecycle, from setup and invoicing through closeout
  • Reconcile project expense reports and track sub-consultant budgets and payments
  • Monitor accounts receivable and keep project financials organized and current
  • Provide dedicated accounting and organizational support to a Principal overseeing a key corporate client (NDA)
  • Assist with ad hoc corporate accounting needs, including quarterly and year-end close preparations, budgeting, and revenue projections
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Business Operations and Practice teams on finance-related matters
  • Bring ideas for process improvement—we genuinely welcome them
What We're Looking For

Must-Haves

  • Experience in accounting or billing within a professional services, design, or engineering firm
  • Familiarity with project-based accounting concepts, including percentage-of-completion revenue recognition
  • Working knowledge of corporate accounting principles and GAAP
  • Experience with an ERP or project accounting platform (Deltek Vantagepoint experience is a strong plus—but solid experience with comparable systems is welcome)
  • Intermediate-to-advanced Microsoft Excel skills
  • Strong attention to detail and a habit of meticulous record-keeping
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset
  • Legal authorization to work in the United States; fluency in English

Nice-to-Haves

  • Hands-on experience with Deltek Vantagepoint
  • Familiarity with SAP Concur for expense management
  • CPA license or progress toward one
  • Experience with year-end tax preparation
Software You'll Use
  • Deltek Vantagepoint (project-based ERP — training provided for the right candidate)
  • Microsoft Excel (advanced proficiency preferred)
  • Microsoft Office Suite
  • SAP Concur
