Join a growing, project-driven organization as a Project Accountant, partnering closely with Accounting, Operations, Program Management, and Contracts to keep project financials accurate, complete, and on time. If you enjoy digging into details, working through complexity, and building cleaner, more scalable processes, this is a great opportunity to make a visible impact while supporting a portfolio of larger-dollar, longer-duration projects.

Key Responsibilities / What You’ll Do

  • Own project setup and maintenance across project accounting systems (including BigTime)
  • Keep contract awards, modifications, funding changes, and billing configurations aligned across teams
  • Track budgets, actuals, labor utilization, remaining funding, and project profitability
  • Support project revenue recognition (WIP, accrued/unbilled, deferred/unearned) and related entries
  • Partner with Project Managers to ensure labor, subcontractor, travel, and expenses are coded correctly
  • Support timely invoicing and identify issues before they impact month-end close
  • Assist with reconciliations between BigTime, QuickBooks, and related systems
  • Prepare project-level analysis (budget-to-actual, margin, forecast-to-complete) and support close/audit needs

Qualifications / What We’re Looking For

  • 5–7+ years of project accounting/project finance experience
  • Strong Excel skills and comfort working across multiple systems
  • Solid understanding of project accounting and revenue recognition concepts
  • Organized, analytical, detail-driven communicator who takes ownership
  • Experience with government contracting and compliance a plus

Why Join the Team?
You’ll work cross-functionally, help strengthen project accounting workflows, and contribute to a team that values accuracy, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
