About the Company
We believe that spaces have the power to change people. With a global team of 60+ experts in venue design, planning, technology, and operations, we have spent decades transforming ideas into vibrant, inclusive environments-for arts organizations, corporations, healthcare systems, sports venues, and more. From Broadway to boardrooms, our work shapes how communities gather, collaborate, and connect.
We're a team that cares deeply about craft, collaboration, and doing great work-and we're looking for someone who shares that drive.
The Opportunity
This is a great role for a detail-oriented accounting professional who has worked in a project-based environment and is ready to grow. You'll own the full project accounting cycle-from billing through closeout-while also serving as a dedicated financial partner to one of our most strategic client relationships.
You don't need to be a Deltek Vantagepoint expert on day one-but comfort with ERP/project accounting platforms and a genuine eagerness to master our systems will set you up for success. If you're someone who enjoys being the financial backbone of a creative, mission-driven company, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Manage the full project billing lifecycle, from setup and invoicing through closeout
- Reconcile project expense reports and track sub-consultant budgets and payments
- Monitor accounts receivable and keep project financials organized and current
- Provide dedicated accounting and organizational support to a Principal overseeing a key corporate client (NDA)
- Assist with ad hoc corporate accounting needs, including quarterly and year-end close preparations, budgeting, and revenue projections
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Business Operations and Practice teams on finance-related matters
- Bring ideas for process improvement-we genuinely welcome them
Must-Haves
- Experience in accounting or billing within a professional services, design, or engineering firm
- Familiarity with project-based accounting concepts, including percentage-of-completion revenue recognition
- Working knowledge of corporate accounting principles and GAAP
- Experience with an ERP or project accounting platform (Deltek Vantagepoint experience is a strong plus-but solid experience with comparable systems is welcome)
- Intermediate-to-advanced Microsoft Excel skills
- Strong attention to detail and a habit of meticulous record-keeping
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset
- Legal authorization to work in the United States; fluency in English
- Hands-on experience with Deltek Vantagepoint
- Familiarity with SAP Concur for expense management
- CPA license or progress toward one
- Experience with year-end tax preparation
- Deltek Vantagepoint (project-based ERP - training provided for the right candidate)
- Microsoft Excel (advanced proficiency preferred)
- Microsoft Office Suite
- SAP Concur
