Project Accountant

PROJECT ACCOUNTANT

Salary: $70,000–$80,000+ annual bonus | Full-Time | Onsite | Pittsburgh Area

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

This is a standout opportunity for a Project Accountant who wants visibility, stability, and real ownership in a growing organization—not just another accounting seat.

Our client is a well-established, multi-entity organization in a sustained growth phase, bringing this role back after recognizing how critical strong project accounting is to operational success. You will work directly with project managers and accounting leadership, becoming a key financial partner to the business.

Why this role attracts high-quality Project Accountants:

• Business-facing role – Partner closely with project managers, not buried in back-office accounting
• True job-cost ownership – From setup through forecasting, billing, and WIP reporting
• Growth environment – Company is expanding and reinvesting in key accounting talent
• Low turnover culture – Long-tenured shared services team and stable leadership
• Excellent benefits – Medical, dental, and vision premiums 100% paid by employer
• Clear long-term runway – Potential to grow into a Senior Project Accountant seat
• Hands-on, visible work – Your analysis directly impacts project performance and decision-making

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys connecting financial data to real-world project outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with project managers to ensure accurate job setup, cost coding, and cost structure
• Analyze job costs, committed costs, projections, and forecasts
• Prepare WIP reporting and percent-complete revenue calculations
• Support project billing, including T&M, progress billing, and AIA formats
• Review contracts, change orders, and provide financial cost summaries

Qualifications:

• 2–5 years of project or job-cost accounting experience
• Construction or industrial project accounting background preferred
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP) and project accounting system experience
