About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on, detail-driven Senior Manager of Project Accounting & Operations to own the accounting cycle, lead project accounting and billing, and keep our operations running at peak performance.

What You’ll Do

+ Own month-end close: keep it accurate, fast, and clean, then hand off to the Financial Reporting Manager for final statements.

+ Lead all things project accounting and billing, making sure revenue recognition and cost tracking are rock solid.

+ Partner with operations and project teams to ensure financial data is accurate, timely, and insightful.

+ Supervise and mentor your team — set direction, hold accountability, and help people grow.

+ Maximize ERP and systems: use technology to simplify processes and make reporting smarter.

+ Build and enforce strong accounting operations policies and internal controls.

+ Support audits and serve as a key point of contact for external auditors.

+ Continuously look for ways to work smarter, not harder by improving processes and workflows.

+ Month End Close, General Ledger, Financial Statement Audits, Account Reconciliation, Journal Entries, Project Accounting, CPA

This is a role for someone who loves being in the weeds, solving problems, and leading a team to excellence — while making a big impact on how the business runs day-to-day

Requirements

+ CPA (required).

+ 7+ years of progressive accounting experience with at least 3+ years managing people.

+ Strong expertise in accounting operations, project accounting, and project billing.

+ Proven success running month-end close and producing accurate results under tight deadlines.

+ ERP and systems savvy — you know how to leverage technology to streamline accounting.

+ Exceptional leadership and communication skills; you’re as comfortable coaching a team as you are deep in the details.

+ A balance of analytical mindset and roll-up-your-sleeves attitude.

Bonus Points

+ Experience in construction, engineering, or other project-based industries.

+ Knowledge of WIP schedules, cost controls, and revenue recognition.

+ Hands-on experience with ERP implementations or systems upgrades.
