Senior Construction Accountant

Centre Court is looking for a Senior Construction Accountant to join the team behind some of the most exciting high‑rise residential developments transforming the Greater Toronto Area. Working across a portfolio of active condominium and purpose-built rental projects, this role offers a unique opportunity to gain direct visibility into the financial engine that drives large-scale construction from the ground up.

More than a traditional accounting role, this position places you at the intersection of finance, operations, and development. You'll work closely with Project Managers, construction teams, and senior leadership, providing critical financial oversight and insights that help keep $100 million+ projects moving forward. From tracking costs and managing complex invoicing to supporting monthly lender draws and monitoring project performance, your work will have a direct impact on the successful delivery of landmark communities.

As part of Centre Court’s growing development pipeline, you'll gain exposure to projects at every stage of the construction lifecycle, offering a rare opportunity to deepen your understanding of high‑rise development while building expertise in one of the most dynamic sectors of real estate.

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Construction Accounting & Finance, the Senior Construction Accountant will play a key role in maintaining financial accuracy, supporting project execution, and driving strong cost‑control practices across multiple active developments.

This role is ideal for a highly organized and detail‑oriented professional who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, enjoys collaborating across teams, and wants to be closely connected to the real‑world progress of major construction projects – not just the numbers behind them.
