Maas Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Work

LACCD manages billions in bond-funded capital construction across nine campuses. Every dollar spent, every contractor invoice, every encumbrance, every payment application, has to be documented, validated, compliant, and reconciled. When an invoice doesn't match, when an encumbrance entry is wrong, or when Proliance and Costpoint aren't talking to each other, someone has to find it, fix it, and make sure it doesn't happen again.

That's this role.

As Project Accountant II, you'll sit inside the Bond Program's Finance and Accounting team, processing invoices, resolving discrepancies, ensuring bond compliance on all payment requests, and working directly with contractors, vendors, and campus staff to keep the financial engine running. You'll work across two enterprise systems — Proliance and Costpoint — and you'll be the person who catches the error before it becomes an audit finding.

This isn't a passive AP role. You're expected to identify patterns, develop solutions, build reports, and improve the process.

Requirements

What You'll Own

• Review, validate, and process Bond Program invoices and encumbrances in accordance with accounting procedures and bond compliance requirements
• Identify and resolve discrepancies or inconsistencies in invoice documentation before they escalate
• Ensure accuracy of invoice and encumbrance entries in Proliance with complete supporting documentation
• Resolve integration issues between Proliance and Costpoint, when the systems don't reconcile, you figure out why
• Reconcile financial accounts and escrow bank statements
• Prepare and process journal entries, debit/credit memos
• Communicate directly with contractors and professional services vendors on cost and invoice matters
• Work across campuses and departments to obtain approvals and resolve payment issues
• Develop new reports and assist with form revisions to improve transparency into Bond Program expenditures
• Identify recurring errors and develop approaches to minimize repeat discrepancies

What You Bring

• 1+ year of hands-on invoice processing or accounts payable experience. You've processed real invoices in a real environment where accuracy mattered and discrepancies had consequences. Capital program, bond program, public sector, or construction accounting experience is a genuine differentiator.
• Proliance and/or Costpoint experience. If you've worked in both and understand how invoices flow between them, you're ahead of 90% of candidates. If not, you've worked in comparable enterprise financial systems and you learn fast.
• Excel proficiency that goes beyond data entry. You can build reports, run trend analyses, and present findings to a manager without hand-holding.
• You don't wait to be told something is wrong. You find it, flag it, and propose a fix.
• Clear, direct communication. You're calling contractors to resolve invoice disputes, coordinating with campus staff on payment issues, and working across departments to get authorizations. You're comfortable picking up the phone and handling it.
• Associate's degree or college certificate in accounting, business, or related field (additional experience may substitute on a year-for-year basis)

Preferred

• Bachelor's degree in business, accounting, or related field
• Bond program or public sector accounting experience
• Familiarity with public funds compliance and audit requirements
