Job description

The GeoFocus Group is strengthening its internal delivery and financial controls across the entire organization.

We are seeking an experienced Project Accountant to work company-wide, supporting multiple active developments and construction projects across low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise portfolios.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who understands construction and development accounting in the real world, not just in theory.

Who You Are

• 10+ years of project accounting experience in construction and/or real estate development
• Deep understanding of job cost accounting, cost-to-complete, commitments, change management, and cash flow forecasting
• Experience supporting multiple concurrent projects with varying structures and delivery models
• Strong working knowledge of progress billing, holdbacks, lien legislation, and contract administration support
• Detail-oriented, disciplined, and comfortable holding teams accountable to process
• Trusted by project managers, executives, and external partners alike

What You’ll Do

• Provide company-wide project accounting support across all active projects
• Maintain accurate job cost reports, forecasts, and variance analyses
• Track commitments, change orders, and budget impacts in real time
• Support monthly reporting, lender reporting, and internal executive reviews
• Work closely with project management, estimating, and senior leadership
• Help refine financial controls, reporting standards, and internal workflows
• Act as a central financial steward, not just a back-office function

Why GeoFocus

At The GeoFocus Group, accounting is not siloed. Finance is embedded in decision‑making from acquisition through construction and stabilization.

You will be joining an organization that:

• Treats financial clarity as a strategic advantage
• Operates with transparency and accountability
• Is actively developing and building, not passively managing
• Values experienced professionals who think ahead and execute precisely

Compensation

• Compensation starting at $90,000+, commensurate with experience and expertise.
• Performance‑aligned incentives
• Long‑term opportunity within a growing organization

If you are a seasoned project accountant looking for a role with breadth, responsibility, and real influence across an organization, this position deserves your attention.
