Subcontractor Coordination: Manage financial aspects of subcontractor agreements, including payments and compliance with proper documentation.

Compliance and Documentation: Ensure all financial activities align with established company policies, industry regulations, and GAAP standards.

Cross-Department Collaboration: Partner with PMs to develop budgets, review forecasts, and assist with financial decisions at all stages of project lifecycle.

Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to enhance project accounting systems and improve communication workflows between accounting and operations teams.

Requirements

Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.

Experience: At least 3-5 years of accounting experience, preferably in construction, project-based industries, or similar environments.

Software Skills: Proficiency in project accounting software (e.g., Sage 300, Viewpoint, Procore) and advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
