Job description
Senior Project & Corporate Accountant
Compensation : $100,000 - $110,000 + Discretionary Bonus
Build More Than Financial Statements. Help Drive Business Decisions.
A growing organization is seeking a Senior Project & Corporate Accountant to play a critical role in financial reporting, project accounting, operational analysis, and process improvement across multiple business units.
This is not a transactional accounting position.
The ideal candidate will serve as a technical accounting resource, provide financial insight to operational leaders, support project profitability, and help strengthen the accounting function as the company continues to grow. The role offers direct interaction with executive leadership and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on business performance.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Highly visible role with exposure to executive leadership and operational decision-making
Opportunity to help strengthen and elevate an accounting department during a period of growth
Blend of technical accounting, project accounting, financial analysis, payroll, and process improvement
Significant ownership and autonomy with the ability to influence accounting practices and procedures
Opportunity to develop specialized expertise in construction and project-based accounting
Stable, family-owned organization with a long-standing reputation for quality and strong leadership
Collaborative culture that values accountability, initiative, and continuous improvement
Strong benefits package including immediate 401(k) vesting and flexibility from leadership
Key Responsibilities Own project accounting activities from project setup through closeout
Monitor job costs, project profitability, billing activity, change orders, and project financial performance
Manage customer billing, revenue recognition, retainage tracking, and related reporting
Perform account reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, fixed asset accounting, and month-end close activities
Process and reconcile payroll while ensuring labor costs are accurately recorded by project
Analyze financial information and investigate variances, discrepancies, and operational trends
Partner with project managers and operational leaders to support budgeting, forecasting, and financial decision-making
Review accounting processes and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, and controls
What We're Looking For
This opportunity is ideal for an experienced accountant who enjoys ownership, solving problems, and improving how accounting supports the business.
Successful candidates will bring: Strong technical accounting and general ledger expertise
The ability to work independently and solve problems without constant direction
Experience interpreting financial results and communicating recommendations
A process improvement mindset focused on efficiency and accuracy
Confidence mentoring others and serving as a resource for the accounting team
A proactive attitude with a willingness to take ownership of outcomes
Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Accounting required
CPA preferred
Strong experience with GAAP, account reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and financial reporting
Experience with project accounting, job costing, and operational accounting environments
WIP reporting experience strongly preferred
Experience with AIA billing, retainage, and construction accounting concepts is highly desirable
Payroll and labor costing experience preferred
Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail
Ideal Backgrounds
We welcome candidates from: Construction Accounting

Cost Accounting
Corporate Accounting
Commercial Construction
General Contracting
Industrial or Project-Based Businesses
Who Will Succeed Here?
The ideal candidate is self-sufficient, technically strong, organized, and proactive. You enjoy understanding the "why" behind transactions, improving processes, helping others solve problems, and partnering with leadership to ensure financial information drives better business decisions.
