  • Review the work of Project Accountants and help ensure accurate, timely financial reporting.
  • Assist with developing accounting policies, procedures, and internal controls.

What We're Looking For Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field. 5+ years of progressive accounting experience. Strong construction accounting and job cost accounting experience. Solid understanding of the construction lifecycle and multi-entity project accounting. Experience with Yardi, MIP/Abila, or similar accounting software is preferred. Affordable housing or commercial real estate experience is a plus. Excellent analytical, communication, and organizational skills. Why You'll Want to Consider This Opportunity Competitive salary of $105,000–$110,300. Hybrid work environment offering flexibility.

Stable organization with a collaborative, team-oriented culture. Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, generous paid time off, paid holidays, wellness programs, professional development opportunities, and more.
