Sr. Project Accountant

Senior Project Accountant | Growth-Oriented Industrial Leader (Confidential)

Hire Finance Group has been retained by a premier, growth-oriented firm in the North Chicago suburbs to identify a Senior Project Accountant for a high-impact, confidential role. This is a strategic opportunity for a finance professional with 3-7+ years of experience to bridge the gap between corporate accounting and on-the-ground operations. Reporting directly to a mentor-focused CFO, you will own the financial lifecycle of multiple high-value projects, managing everything from job costing and revenue recognition (POC) to detailed budget-to-actual variance analysis.

This role is designed for a "hands-on" leader who can ensure that project-level profitability and the General Ledger are consistently in sync, providing the financial foundation for the company’s continued expansion.

The ideal candidate brings a robust mix of technical GL rigor and specialized project accounting skills, with a strong preference for proficiency in Sage 300 (Timberline). You will act as the primary financial partner to Project Managers, investigating the stories behind the numbers and providing the analytical support needed for critical strategic decisions. Beyond day-to-day stewardship, you will assist the CFO in forecasting and audit preparation, gaining unique visibility into the organization’s executive-level operations.

If you are looking for a role that offers high visibility, direct mentorship from top-tier leadership, and a clear trajectory toward a Controller-level path, we invite you to reach out for a confidential discussion.
