This is a great opportunity for a developing accountant or CPA student who wants to build strong project accounting, billing, systems, and broader accounting experience within a stable, professional, and supportive environment.

Maintain accurate project documentation

Support month-end close, reconciliations, and project-related reporting

Assist with process improvements, systems improvements, and data accuracy

Respond to day-to-day project, billing, and documentation inquiries

What we are looking for

3-5 years of progressive accounting experience

CPA enrollment preferred

Experience in engineering, architecture, consulting, legal, accounting, or another professional services environment would be ideal

Strong Excel and Outlook skills

Experience with ERP system would be an asset

Familiarity with project-based environments would be an asset

Strong attention to detail and accuracy

Clear, professional communication skills

Highly organized with the ability to manage competing priorities

Collaborative, accountable, proactive, and eager to learn

This role could be a fit if you are:

A CPA student looking for mentorship and long-term growth

An intermediate accountant who wants exposure to project accounting and broader accounting work

Someone with billing, AR, project administration, or professional services accounting experience

Someone who enjoys systems, details, communication, and working with smart internal teams

Compensation
Salary range is expected to be  $60,000-$75,000 , depending on experience.

The company offers a strong overall employment package, including benefits and additional employee supports.
