What is construction accounting?

Construction accounting is a specialized branch of accounting that focuses on tracking, managing, and reporting the financial aspects of construction projects. Unlike standard accounting, it deals with unique challenges such as job costing, progress billing, contract retainage, and project-based financial management. Construction accountants ensure that project expenses, revenues, and budgets are accurately monitored, helping companies make informed decisions and remain compliant with industry regulations.

How does a construction accountant typically interact with project managers and site supervisors?

Construction Accountants regularly collaborate with project managers and site supervisors to track project budgets, monitor expenses, and ensure accurate cost allocation. They often participate in weekly meetings to discuss financial progress, address discrepancies, and forecast cash flow needs. This close communication helps resolve issues quickly, keeps projects on budget, and ensures everyone is aligned on financial expectations throughout each phase of construction.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in construction accounting, and why are they important?

To thrive in Construction Accounting, you need a strong understanding of accounting principles, job costing, and financial reporting, often supported by a degree in accounting or finance. Familiarity with construction-specific software such as Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate (Timberline), Procore, or QuickBooks, as well as certifications like CPA, are highly valuable. Attention to detail, organizational skills, and effective communication help professionals manage complex projects and coordinate with contractors and project managers. These skills ensure accurate budgeting, compliance, and financial control, which are crucial for the profitability and success of construction projects.

What is the difference between Construction Accounting vs Bookkeeper in the construction industry?

AspectConstruction AccountingBookkeeper
CredentialsAccounting degree or certification (e.g., CPA)High school diploma or equivalent, basic bookkeeping skills
Work EnvironmentConstruction firms, project sites, officesOffice settings, small businesses, various industries
Job FocusFinancial management, job costing, payroll, tax complianceRecording financial transactions, maintaining ledgers

Construction accounting involves managing complex financial data specific to construction projects, including job costing and compliance, often requiring specialized certifications. Bookkeepers handle basic financial record-keeping and data entry, typically with less specialized training. While both roles deal with financial data, construction accounting is more comprehensive and strategic, tailored to the construction industry's unique needs.

What does a construction accountant do?

A construction accountant manages financial records for construction projects, including budgeting, cost tracking, and invoicing. They ensure compliance with financial regulations and often use accounting software to monitor project expenses and profitability.

Job description

Construction Accounting Manager


Build Something. Own It. Make an Impact.


Are you the type of accounting professional who thrives in a growing business where your ideas matter, your voice is heard, and no two days look the same?


We're partnering with a privately held construction company that is investing heavily in its future and looking for an experienced Accounting Manager to take ownership of the accounting function. This isn't a role where you'll inherit a large team or hide behind layers of management—it's an opportunity for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, creating structure, improving processes, and becoming a key business partner to leadership.


If you're entrepreneurial, resourceful, and love wearing multiple hats, we'd love to talk.


What You'll Do

  • Own the day-to-day accounting function from start to finish
  • Manage month-end close, financial reporting, reconciliations, general ledger, AP/AR oversight, and cash flow
  • Lead all construction accounting activities including:
  • Job Costing
  • Work-in-Progress (WIP) Reporting
  • AIA Billing
  • Revenue Recognition
  • Project Financial Reporting
  • Partner closely with operations and project teams to ensure project profitability
  • Develop better processes, reporting, and internal controls as the company continues to scale
  • Collaborate with external CPA partners on tax and year-end activities
  • Help build the accounting infrastructure for the next stage of company growth


What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of construction accounting experience
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Job Costing
  • WIP Reporting
  • AIA Billing
  • Percentage of Completion Accounting
  • Experience using QuickBooks (Enterprise preferred)
  • Comfortable being a one-person accounting department
  • Proven ability to build processes, improve workflows, and create structure
  • Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
  • Someone who enjoys solving problems instead of waiting for direction
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across all levels of the business


The Right Person Is...

  • Scrappy and resourceful
  • Self-motivated and accountable
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Hands-on and willing to jump into whatever needs to get done
  • Process-minded but practical
  • Excited by growth and helping build something bigger


Why You'll Love This Opportunity

  • Salary: $100,000–$120,000
  • Performance Bonus
  • Excellent health benefits
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Opportunity to build an accounting department—not just maintain one
  • Direct exposure to executive leadership
  • Fast-paced environment where your work has visible impact
  • Long-term growth as the company continues to expand


If you're looking for another corporate accounting role with layers of bureaucracy, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a place where you can take ownership, create structure, influence the business, and grow alongside an ambitious leadership team, please apply!
