Step into a high-visibility Senior Project Accountant role supporting complex, large-scale infrastructure projects. This is a career-building opportunity with real leadership exposure and long-term growth.

Senior Project Accountant
Salary: $90K–$120K base + ~5% bonus
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Gain direct exposure to executive leadership across finance, operations, and risk

• Collaborative environment where accounting partners directly with operations
• Hands-on involvement in financial processes that drive project outcomes
• Opportunity to influence process improvements and tech adoption
• Strong team structure with 40+ finance/accounting professionals for support and collaboration
• Hybrid flexibility after onboarding

Key Responsibilities for the Senior Project Accountant:
• Lead financial reporting and accounting for large, complex construction projects

• Track accounts receivable, cash flow forecasts, and ensure timely collections
• Coordinate subcontractor/vendor payments and manage lien waiver processes
• Partner with project managers to ensure accurate cost tracking and contract compliance
• Support process improvements and system enhancements within finance

Qualifications for the Senior Project Accountant:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
• 5+ years of accounting experience (construction or project-based industry preferred)
• Advanced Excel skills (large datasets, formulas, reporting)
• Experience with project accounting and financial reporting
