Job Description & How to Apply Below
A rapidly growing, private equity-backed organization in the construction space is seeking a Project Accountant to join their team during a period of expansion and transformation. Over the past 10 months, the company has successfully acquired 15 businesses, creating a dynamic, fast-evolving environment with significant opportunity for the right individual. This is not a “steady-state” accounting role — it is for someone who thrives in change, ambiguity, and building structure where it doesn’t yet exist.
WhatYou’ll Be Doing:
- Own and validate job cost data across 25–30 active projects
- Investigate and resolve cost discrepancies directly with field teams
- Partner closely with foremen and operations leaders to ensure accuracy
- Provide real-time insights into job profitability and performance
- Support leadership with actionable data in a high-volume project environment
- Work within ERP systems to maintain clean, reliable financial data
- Experience in construction accounting / job costing
- Exposure to multiple concurrent projects (ideally up to $30M in total scope)
- Strong communication skills — ability to work directly with field personnel/foremen
- Comfort operating in a fast-changing, evolving environment
- Ability to challenge data, ask questions, and dig for answers
- Adaptability — processes, systems, and structure are still being built
- Someone who is comfortable with change
- Not afraid to operate in gray areas vs. perfect structure
- Proactive, communicative, and willing to pick up the phone
- Able to balance operational understanding with accounting discipline
- Looking for growth and long‑term opportunity within a scaling organization
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company contribution
- Paid time off + holidays
- Stable, full‑time schedule with seasonal flexibility
- Opportunity to grow within a rapidly expanding organization
- Direct exposure to leadership and cross‑functional teams
- Long‑term career path as the company continues to scale through acquisition
We look forward to reviewing your resume!
