  • Set up new projects in the accounting system, including budgets, cost codes, contracts, billing structures, and supporting documentation.
  • Process subcontractor invoices, supplier invoices, purchase orders, and project-related expenses accurately and on time.
  • Review invoice coding, cost allocations, and supporting documentation to ensure costs are recorded correctly.
  • Prepare and support monthly progress billing, owner invoices, holdbacks, and project claims.
  • Track change orders, approved extras, committed costs, and budget adjustments in coordination with Project Managers.
  • Maintain accurate job costing records and provide timely financial information to project teams.
  • Reconcile project budgets, committed costs, actual costs, billings, and forecasts.
  • Assist with monthly project reporting, work-in-progress reporting, and financial forecasting.
  • Monitor accounts receivable, follow up on outstanding payments, and support collections when required.
  • Ensure subcontractor documentation is complete, including insurance, WCB clearance, statutory declarations, and lien-related documentation.
  • Work closely with Project Managers to identify billing issues, cost variances, budget concerns, and project financial risks.
  • Support month-end close activities related to project accounting, accruals, reconciliations, and reporting.
