Description du poste

Salary: $115,000 - $120,000 + Performance Bonus

Location: McLean, VA

If you are a technically strong real estate development accountant who wants stability, influence, and long-term runway, this is the one. We're partnering with a well-established, privately held real estate development firm with decades of success in residential land development and community building.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• High-level technical accounting role, become the go-to expert in development accounting
• Direct visibility to ownership and executive leadership
• Long-tenured team, extremely low turnover
• Financially strong organization with consistent revenue and backlog
• Systems modernization underway
• Free, high-quality health insurance, fully paid for individual AND family coverage
• Generous PTO to start and summer schedule perk - every other Friday off
• 401(k) with match
• Professional, stable, drama-free environment
• Work-life balance for most of the year, paired with a focused and demanding tax season (January-March) where the team rallies together.

Key Responsibilities

The Senior Project Accountant will own full-cycle project accounting for multiple real estate development projects, including:

• Job cost accounting and capitalization
• Preparing and reviewing detailed workpapers
• Construction loan draw preparation and reconciliation

• Contract review and revenue treatment analysis
• General ledger entries and account reconciliations
• Month-end and year-end close support
• Supporting tax workpapers and GAAP/tax basis financial reporting
• Cash management and banking activity

This Senior Project Accountant must be comfortable operating independently and serving as the technical resource within development accounting.
