• Review and reconcile project costs, construction expenditures, and development-related transactions.

• Assist with data mapping, system testing, validation, and user acceptance testing (UAT).

• Identify discrepancies in project cost allocations and recommend corrective actions.

• Maintain accurate general ledger activity related to construction, development, and capital projects.

• Prepare account reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close schedules.

• Analyze project budgets versus actual costs and assist with variance reporting.

• Develop and document accounting procedures and internal controls related to job costing.

• Support audit requests and ensure compliance with accounting policies and reporting standards.

• Assist with process improvements that drive greater visibility into project profitability and cost tracking.

Requirements

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.

• 5+ years of accounting experience, preferably within real estate, construction, property management, or development environments.

• Strong understanding of job costing, project accounting, WIP schedules, capital projects, and cost allocations.

• Experience participating in ERP or accounting system implementations, upgrades, or conversions.

• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills including PivotTables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, and data analysis.

• Experience with platforms such as Yardi, MRI, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, JD Edwards, Viewpoint, Acumatica, or similar ERP systems is highly preferred.

• Strong month-end close, reconciliation, and financial reporting experience.

• Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
