Project Accountant Analyst
Role Overview
The Project Accountant Analyst owns the flow of revenue from engagement to recognition.
Working directly with departmental leaders and their project teams, this person makes sure work performed is billed accurately and on time, that revenue is recognized in the correct period, and that unbilled and deferred balances are understood and current.
The role also supports the Director of Finance through month-end and year-end close.
This is a hands-on position in a small finance function.
The Project Accountant Analyst will spend meaningful time on detailed invoices, project schedules, reconciliations — while also serving as the finance point of contact that operating leaders come to with questions about their projects.
Alongside the revenue focus, this person contributes through general accounting operations and provides coverage for the billing team during absences, which builds broad exposure to the full accounting cycle.
It is a role with room to grow in scope and responsibility for the right person.
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Qualifications
- Required
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Three to five years of experience in billing, accounts receivable, revenue, or general accounting.
- Working knowledge of accrual accounting and the ability to reason through revenue timing questions.
- Strong Excel skills, including the ability to build and maintain reconciliation and project schedules.
- Demonstrated accuracy and follow-through in detail-heavy work, with the judgment to know when something needs to be escalated.
- Comfort working directly with non-finance colleagues and holding them to deadlines diplomatically.
- Willingness to move between focused revenue work and broader accounting tasks, including stepping in to cover teammates during absences.
- Preferred
- Direct exposure to revenue recognition under ASC 606, particularly for services or project-based work.
- Experience in professional services, engineering, construction, or project-driven environment.
- Experience with ERP or project accounting systems and with improving a billing process rather than only executing it.
- Progress toward CPA or CMA, or interest in pursuing it. The company supports exam and continuing education costs.
- What success looks like
- First 90 days: Fluent in how revenue moves through the business. Billing cycle running on time with the billing team. Relationships established with each departmental leader. Cross-trained well enough to provide coverage during a teammate's absence.
- First year: Full ownership of the monthly revenue recognition process. Unbilled and deferred balances clean, current, and explainable. Close deliverables consistently on schedule, and AP approval and expense review running without prompting.
- Beyond: Broadening scope within the finance function based on demonstrated capability and interest.
- Why this role
- This position works alongside our Director of Finance daily, with direct exposure to the full accounting cycle and to every department in the company, a level of visibility and breadth that is unusual for a role at this level.
- We are looking for someone who wants to grow. This is a small team where capability is noticed quickly, scope expands as it is earned, and the person in this seat has genuine influence over how revenue processes work.
