Job description

Project Accountant | Cincinnati, OH | Commercial Construction

We are partnered with a nationally recognized contractor with the resources and project portfolio of a large organization, but the close-knit, family-like culture of a much smaller company.

Employees genuinely know and support one another, leadership remains accessible, and the company’s long-tenured teams reflect how seriously it takes employee development and retention.

Employees also receive formal promotional and compensation reviews every six months, giving high performers frequent opportunities to advance their careers and increase their earning potential.

The Opportunity

The Project Accountant will work closely with project managers, field leadership, subcontractors, and accounting leadership to oversee the financial performance of multiple construction projects.

This is not a traditional back-office accounting position. You will become an important member of each project team, gain exposure to the entire construction lifecycle, and build strong relationships across operations and senior leadership.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage project billing, accounts payable, and accounts receivable
• Review subcontractor invoices, contracts, change orders, and payment applications
• Track project costs, commitments, budgets, and financial forecasts
• Prepare monthly financial reports and support project financial reviews
• Partner with project managers to identify and resolve financial concerns
• Maintain accurate documentation for audits and project closeout
• Communicate with owners, subcontractors, vendors, and internal teams
• Support multiple projects from initial setup through final closeout

Why This Role Stands Out

• Close-knit, family-like culture where employees are known and supported
• Formal promotional and compensation reviews every six months
• Clear advancement opportunities within a growing Cincinnati operation
• Long-tenured teams and accessible company leadership
• Nationally recognized contractor with an excellent industry reputation
• Strong pipeline supported by long-standing client relationships
• Exposure to high-profile and technically challenging projects
• Competitive compensation and annual bonus potential
