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
