Why This Project Accountant Position Stands Out

In the heart of Fort Worth's booming construction sector, this role demands precision and collaboration. You'll work closely with project managers (PM) and development teams to provide timely reports to stakeholders, supporting monthly financial closes, audits, and process improvements. Proficiency in reconciling tools like Smart Sheet with ERP systems such as Dynamics 365 is highly preferred. This permanent role offers stability and growth in a firm committed to excellence in construction project accounting.

Key Responsibilities

As a Project Accountant, your core duties will drive financial success for multiple construction projects. Expect to:

• Manage project budgets, cash flow forecasting, and project closeouts to ensure profitability and compliance.
• Reconcile Smart Sheet data with primary financial systems, preferably Microsoft Dynamics 365, for accurate reporting.
• Support end-to-end monthly financial closes, external audits, and identify opportunities for process enhancements.
• Collaborate seamlessly with project managers and development teams to deliver actionable, timely financial insights to stakeholders.
• Maintain GAAP-compliant books, including WIP schedules, job cost analysis, and variance reporting.
• Oversee invoicing processes, ensuring prompt billing and collections while managing AP/AR cycles efficiently.
• Track and depreciate fixed assets, performing regular reconciliations to uphold financial integrity.
• Prepare detailed financial reports, including profit/loss statements, cash flow analyses, and custom dashboards for leadership.

These responsibilities make this role ideal for accountants passionate about construction finance and operational efficiency.
