Senior Project Accountant
CFS
Chicago, IL
Senior Project Accountant
Salary: $80,000 – $100,000 + bonus
Location: Chicagoland area (hybrid after training)
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• High-impact Senior Project Accountant role supporting large-scale, high-volume construction projects nationwide
• Opportunity for a Senior Project Accountant to partner closely with Project Managers and operations teams from project setup through closeout
• Join a fast-growing, employee-owned organization with a strong track record of revenue growth and industry recognition
• Exposure to complex billing structures, subcontractor coordination, and owner reporting
• Collaborative culture with a people-focused leader who actively invests in career development
• Flexible hybrid schedule after onboarding and a modern, team-oriented office environment
Key Responsibilities for the Senior Project Accountant:
• Support multiple active projects as a Project Accountant, managing project setup, billing schedules, and monthly owner billings
• Coordinate subcontractor billings, compliance, and change orders while maintaining accurate job cost records
• Partner with Project Managers to manage draws, billing packages, and project financial tracking as a Senior Project Accountant
• Support month-end close activities and ensure timely, accurate project-level reporting as a Senior Project Accountant
Qualifications for the Senior Project Accountant:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field required (or equivalent experience)
• 4–8 years of experience in construction or Senior Project Accountant roles, ideally with a GC or high-volume subcontractor
• Strong understanding of construction billing, job cost accounting, and project closeout processes
• Detail-oriented Senior Project Accountant with strong communication skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
This is a great opportunity for a Senior Project Accountant who enjoys fast-paced project environments, values ownership and collaboration, and wants to grow within a high-performing, employee-owned construction organization.
