Accounting Manager, Project Accounting

Accounting Manager, Project Accounting

Location: San Antonio
Compensation: $110,000–$120,000

Drive Financial Excellence in a High‑Growth Environment

Join a rapidly expanding, private‑equity–backed organization in the engineering and infrastructure space—one known for exceptional tenure, strong financial backing, and a culture rooted in integrity, innovation, and long-term employee investment. This is a rare opportunity to step into a transformational leadership role at a company scaling at an extraordinary pace.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• High-Velocity Growth: Be part of an organization experiencing major expansion and reinvestment.
• PE-Backed Strength: Long-term financial stability fuels operational innovation and forward-looking strategy.
• Culture That Retains Talent: A collaborative, mentoring-focused environment with exceptional leadership and employee tenure.
• Premium Benefits: Competitive compensation, robust health coverage, retirement matching, and perks designed to support well-being and work-life balance.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the evolution of project accounting from transactional support to strategic business partnership.
• Build scalable, standardized processes across project setup, billing, reporting, and financial controls.
• Establish KPIs, dashboards, and analytics frameworks that enable real-time visibility into project performance.
• Partner closely with Project Managers, Operations, and Finance to elevate overall project profitability and financial accuracy.
• Mentor and develop a high-performing team committed to excellence and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; CPA preferred.
• 7+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, including 3+ years in leadership roles.
• Demonstrated success building or expanding a project accounting function.
• Strong understanding of revenue recognition, project controls, and project lifecycle financials.
• ERP expertise—Deltek strongly preferred—with the ability to design and enhance reporting structures.

If you’re ready to lead transformation, build scalable systems, and make an impact in a company with tremendous upward momentum, this role will put you at the center of that growth.
