Project Accountant
This Jobot Job is hosted by: Dylan Currier.
About the role
A growing specialty construction and installation company is seeking an experienced Senior Staff Accountant to join its team. The company delivers complex, design-driven projects for commercial and institutional customers and manages the full project lifecycle—from initial design and execution through installation, commissioning, warranty, and long-term service. This is an opportunity for an accountant who wants to be more than a transactional resource. The ideal candidate understands project-based accounting and can connect the financials to what is actually happening in the field. You’ll work closely with Project Managers and leadership to understand job costs, project profitability, forecasts, and overall financial performance.
Why join us?
This is a great fit for someone who enjoys working in a project-driven construction environment and wants visibility into the operational side of the business. You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with project teams, influence financial reporting and forecasting, and help build scalable accounting processes within a growing organization.
