• Serve as a trusted financial partner to Project Managers and field leaders.
• Attend project reviews and provide job-level reporting and insights.
• Train and support operations teams on cost coding, billing processes, and documentation standards.

• Lead job-cost, WIP, and billing components of the month-end close.
• Reconcile AR, retainage, cost accruals, and unbilled revenue.
• Support audit needs and maintain proper documentation and SOPs.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• 4+ years of construction accounting experience preferred.
• Strong understanding of WIP, percentage-of-completion revenue, AIA billing, and retainage.
• Proficiency with construction accounting systems (CMiC preferred).
