• Retainage & AR: Track and manage retainage for both customers and subcontractors. Monitor project-based accounts receivable, following up with customers to ensure timely approvals and collections.
  
  
• Job Costing & Reporting: Review job cost reports for accuracy, correct coding errors, track change orders/POs, and support WIP (Work in Progress) reporting to help Project Managers understand financial performance.
  
  
• General Support: Assist leadership with project-related month-end close activities and support external audits with required documentation.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  
  
• Experience: 2–5 years of experience in construction or project accounting (electrical construction is a major plus!).
  
  
• Key Skills: Mastery of AIA billing, construction contracts, lien waivers, retainage, and subcontractor billing processes is required. Familiarity with sales tax documentation is preferred.
  
  
• Tech & Certs: Proficiency in Excel and accounting/ERP systems. Having a Notary Public certification is a plus!
  
  
• Competencies: Exceptional communication, a proactive problem-solving mindset, and the ability to juggle multiple project deadlines simultaneously.
  
  

Why Join Us? We offer a fast-paced, collaborative, and team-oriented environment where your work directly impacts project success. This role provides excellent visibility across our operations and an opportunity for professional growth and expanded responsibilities.
