Key Responsibilities

  • Partner closely with Project Managers to monitor and manage project financial performance.
  • Prepare and maintain project forecasts, cost-to-complete projections, and budget updates.
  • Monitor project costs, commitments, and purchase orders against approved budgets.
  • Review and code invoices, subcontractor costs, purchase orders, and other project expenses accurately.
  • Investigate variances, identify potential cost overruns, and proactively flag financial risks.
  • Work with Project Managers to identify and track change orders and their financial impact.
  • Participate in regular project forecasting and cost-to-complete meetings.
  • Ensure project budgets, cost codes, and financial information are accurately maintained in Jonas and Procore.
  • Review and reconcile project information between Procore and Jonas.
  • Assist with progress billings, holdbacks, subcontractor payments, and project-related documentation.
  • Prepare accruals, journal entries, and reclassifications as required during month-end.
  • Provide Project Managers with timely financial reporting and analysis to support project decisions.
  • Identify opportunities to improve project accounting, forecasting, and financial processes.

Qualifications & Experience

  • 3+ years of accounting experience, preferably within the construction industry.
  • Strong experience with job costing, project accounting, forecasting, and budget management.
  • Experience working directly with Project Managers or construction teams.
  • Strong understanding of construction costs, subcontractors, purchase orders, change orders, and project commitments.
  • Experience with Jonas and Procore is strongly preferred.
  • Strong Excel skills and analytical abilities.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
  • CPA designation or progress toward a CPA is an asset but not required.

What We're Looking For

A hands-on, project-focused accountant who enjoys working closely with construction teams and Project Managers. This individual will be a key financial partner on projects, helping ensure costs are accurately captured, forecasts are reliable, and Project Managers have the information they need to keep projects financially on track.
