  • Maintain supporting schedules for projects and fixed assets.
  • Assist with allocating shared costs across entities and projects.
  • Support inventory, production cost, and cost variance analysis.
  • Develop and maintain financial reports and dashboards to track key performance indicators.
  • Partner with Accounting, Project Management, and Finance teams to improve job costing and reporting processes.
  • Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and forward-looking financial analysis.
  • Identify opportunities to improve accounting processes, controls, and reporting.
  • Support ERP system enhancements and integrations as needed.

Qualifications:

  • 3–5+ years of project accounting, construction accounting, or related accounting experience.
  • Strong experience with WIP reconciliation and job costing.
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred.
  • Strong Excel skills, including financial analysis and modeling.
  • Experience working with an ERP or project accounting system.
  • Understanding of GAAP and project-based accounting.
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Self-starter who takes ownership and follows through on responsibilities.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with accounting, finance, and operational teams.
  • Comfortable working in a professional environment with changing priorities.
  • Interest in expanding beyond project accounting into budgeting, forecasting, and FP&A is a plus.

This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented accounting professional who enjoys project-based accounting and wants the opportunity to grow into broader financial analysis and planning responsibilities.
