Project Accountant

Salary: $70K - $90K

Location: Aurora, IL (5 days onsite)

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Hands-on Project Accountant role within a stable, well-established construction organization with over a century of success
• Opportunity for a Project Accountant to sit close to operations and partner daily with Project Managers and field teams
• Exposure to the full project lifecycle including billing, compliance, change orders, and close-outs
• Long-term career growth potential for a Project Accountant interested in advancing on the accounting or operations side of the business
• Employee-owned environment with meaningful wealth-building potential and strong benefits
• Growing organization with increasing project volume and long-term stability

Key Responsibilities for the Project Accountant:

• Manage project setup, billing, accounts receivable, and insurance documentation as a Project Accountant
• Oversee project administration including change orders, permitting, compliance tracking, warranties, and close-outs
• Partner cross-functionally with Project Managers and operations teams to support accurate project tracking as a Project Accountant
• Support invoicing, reporting, and ad hoc project analysis while maintaining organized and accurate records as a Project Accountant

Qualifications for the Project Accountant:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field preferred
• 2–5 years of experience in a Project Accountant or construction accounting role
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple active projects simultaneously
• Detail-oriented Project Accountant with strong communication skills and comfort working in a fully onsite environment

This is a great opportunity for a Project Accountant who enjoys being embedded with operations, wants visibility into real projects, and is looking for long-term growth within a stable, employee-owned construction company.
