Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
If you’re looking to break into (or grow within) the real estate and construction space, this is an incredible opportunity to get hands-on experience with high-profile projects in one of the most competitive markets in the country.
You’ll be working directly alongside an experienced accounting and project team, gaining exposure not just to accounting functions—but to how large-scale construction projects actually operate financially from start to finish.
What makes this role especially attractive:
- Daily exposure to real estate and construction project finances
- Free lunch provided every day
- Monthly transportation stipend
- Full health and dental coverage
- 401(k) with employer support
- Opportunity to learn Sage 300 and job cost accounting (highly valuable skillset)
- Work closely with project managers and leadership—high visibility role
- Stable, growing company with strong industry expertise and long-term pipeline
This is a strong fit for someone early in their career who wants to build real, practical accounting experience in a niche that offers long-term growth and earning potential.
Key Responsibilities of Assistant Accountant:
- Process accounts payable and receivable, including high-volume vendor invoices and subcontractor payments
- Track project costs and assist with job cost reporting using accounting systems
- Record and maintain financial data related to construction projects and contracts
- Support compliance efforts including insurance documentation and audit preparation
- Collaborate with project managers and internal teams to resolve discrepancies and maintain accurate records
5Qualifications of Assistant Accountant:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
- Experience or exposure to accounting functions such as AP/AR or financial recordkeeping
- Strong Excel skills and attention to detail with the ability to stay organized and meet deadlines
