Job Description

Project Accountant


Location: Plymouth, MN
Salary:
$70,000 - $85,000


Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Play a key role in the financial success of construction projects from startup through final closeout.

  • Partner directly with Project Managers, Accounting leaders, subcontractors, and customers.

  • Gain exposure to complex project accounting, contract administration, and compliance requirements.

  • Own critical billing processes including AIA invoicing, progress billings, and customer payment applications.

  • Develop expertise with leading construction technology platforms such as Procore, Textura, Ariba, and DocuSign.

  • Contribute to monthly WIP reporting and project financial reviews, increasing your operational and financial visibility.

  • Work in a collaborative environment where your attention to detail directly impacts project profitability and cash flow.

  • Expand your experience with prevailing wage projects, certified payroll reporting, and subcontractor compliance management.

  • Enjoy a position that combines accounting, project coordination, and customer interaction rather than traditional back-office accounting tasks.

  • Join a team committed to continuous improvement, professional growth, and accountability.


What You'll Be Doing



  • Manage customer billings, AIA applications, progress billings, and invoice submissions through customer platforms.

  • Track project financial activity, including change orders, revenue capture, and Work-in-Progress reporting support.

  • Coordinate collections efforts and help ensure timely payment of outstanding receivables.

  • Administer project compliance documentation, including lien waivers, certified payroll reporting, insurance certificates, and subcontractor requirements.

  • Process project closeout documentation and maintain organized project records throughout the project lifecycle.

  • Serve as a key liaison between Accounting, Project Management, customers, subcontractors, and field teams.


What We're Looking For



  • 3+ years of experience in project accounting, construction accounting, billing, or construction finance.

  • Strong understanding of AIA billing, job costing, and construction project compliance requirements.

  • Experience working with change orders, construction contracts, and project documentation.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and familiarity with construction ERP/accounting systems such as COINS, Vista by Viewpoint, Spectrum, or similar platforms.
