Description

🚨 2 PROJECT ACCOUNTANT OPENINGS | HIGH-GROWTH GENERAL CONTRACTOR

A rapidly growing General Contractor is looking to add 2 Project Accountants to its dynamic Project Accounting team — with the potential for one position to be at the Senior level depending on experience.

If you're a Project Accountant coming from a General Contractor, have experience managing high-volume WIP/project accounting, and thrive in a fast-moving environment, this could be a great opportunity.

As always, this is a permanent, full time, fully benefited salaried position (this is NOT a temp role or temp to perm).

They are located in midtown and are in the office 4 days and remote 1 day.

Compensation Package based on experience:

Base: $90- $130k base + discretionary bonus

🔨 What You’ll Be Doing

  • Manage project accounting for roughly $25M in projects per PA

  • Handle high-volume vendor activity — sometimes 20+ vendors per project

  • Own WIP and project accounting responsibilities

  • Partner closely with project teams, subcontractors, and internal stakeholders

  • Prioritize competing deadlines while maintaining accuracy

  • Work independently while communicating effectively across the organization

🎯 What They’re Looking For

  • Must already have Project Accounting experience

  • High-volume project accounting experience is essential

  • GC experience strongly preferred

  • Construction Management backgrounds considered for candidates coming from the subcontractor side

  • Residential construction experience highly preferred, particularly high-end residential

  • Strong organizational and prioritization skills

  • Self-sufficient, proactive, and an excellent communicator

  • Great attitude and ability to work well within a highly collaborative, dynamic team

  • Sage Intacct experience is highly preferred — they recently transitioned to the platform

📈 Why Consider It?

This is a company that's doing extremely well and continuing to expand nationally, with plans to potentially 2–3x revenue over the next 3–5 years.

You'll be joining a team of approximately 6 Project Accountants

If you would like to be considered for this position, please email your resume in a word document to Kevin.Chin@Roberthalf
