The Project Accounting Assistant supports project accounting and administration by maintaining accurate project setup, budgets, billing, change orders, cost information, forecasting support, and financial closeout. The role works closely with Project Managers, Operations, and Finance to ensure project transactions are complete, properly documented, accurately coded, and processed timely.

Duties/Responsibilities

• Support project cost integrity by ensuring purchase orders, vendor costs, and other project-related transactions are coded to the appropriate project, task, account, subaccount, branch, and business unit; research and resolve discrepancies in coordination with Finance and Operations.
• Support project forecasting and profitability reviews by preparing project cost and revenue information, researching budget-to-actual and gross-margin variances, maintaining contingency and allowance logs, and assisting Project Managers with recurring project projections.
• Support month-end project accounting and project closeout, including researching outstanding or incorrectly coded costs, open purchase orders, received-not-billed items, customer and vendor deposits/prepayments, unbilled amounts, and other items that may prevent timely financial closeout.
• Coordinate project start-up, kick-off meetings, and close-out activities; maintain required project files and supporting documentation; prepare meeting minutes when needed; and follow up on project-related action items.
• Support contract, subcontract, and compliance administration, including maintaining required documentation, following up on approvals and outstanding items, and coordinating information needed for project billing and financial reporting.
