We are looking for a Senior Accountant to oversee project-based cost accounting and financial reporting in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This position plays a central role in monitoring contract performance, supporting accurate revenue reporting, and helping ensure customer billing is completed correctly and on time. The ideal candidate brings strong experience in construction or contract accounting and can translate detailed cost data into clear financial insight for operational leaders.
Responsibilities:
  • Establish new projects in the accounting platform by organizing budgets, cost classifications, contract values, and billing structures.
  • Monitor contract-related expenses across labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and indirect costs to ensure charges are recorded accurately.
  • Produce recurring work-in-progress reports that evaluate project status, completion levels, recognized revenue, and billing position.
  • Compare financial results against budgets and commitments, resolve discrepancies, and reconcile project activity with the general ledger.
  • Record and maintain approved contract modifications so that revised pricing and cost expectations are reflected in financial records.
  • Support long-term contract revenue calculations using percentage-of-completion principles and applicable accounting guidance.
  • Contribute to monthly and annual close processes by preparing accruals, journal entries, and other project-related accounting schedules.
  • Partner with project management teams to assess margins, estimate remaining costs, and identify contracts that may require additional attention.
  • Prepare documentation and reporting support for audits, bonding reviews, and other external financial examinations.
