Fuel Profitable Growth - Construction Project Accountant Needed at LV Petroleum 

Construction Project Accountant 
LV Petroleum LLC 
Location: Las Vegas, NV (Corporate Office)  
Department: Construction 
Reports to: Sr. Vice President of Construction 

About the Role 

LV Petroleum is a high-growth operator of more than 80 travel centers, convenience stores, gas stations, and quick-service restaurants across the United States. As we continue our aggressive expansion and renovation program, we are seeking a detail-oriented Construction Project Accountant to manage the financial aspects of our remodel, renovation, and build-out projects. 

In this role, you will work closely with Construction Project Managers to ensure remodel projects stay on budget, costs are accurately tracked, and financial reporting supports timely, profitable execution - all while maintaining compliance in a dynamic retail/fuel environment. 

Requirements

Qualifications 

  • 3+ years of experience in construction project accounting, job cost accounting, or project-based financial management (experience in retail, convenience store, fuel station, or commercial remodels is strongly preferred) 
  • Strong understanding of construction accounting principles, including job costing, change orders, retainage, lien waivers, and percentage-of-completion methods 
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience with construction accounting software (Procore, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint, QuickBooks, or similar) 
  • Solid knowledge of accounts payable/receivable, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis for capital projects 
  • Excellent attention to detail, analytical skills, and ability to meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment 
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with project managers, vendors, subcontractors, and internal finance teams 
  • CPA or progress toward certification is a plus 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Manage end-to-end project accounting for multiple remodel and renovation projects across LV Petroleum's travel centers, convenience stores, fueling facilities, and quick-service restaurants 
  • Collaborate with Construction Project Managers to develop accurate project budgets, cost codes, and financial forecasts 
  • Track and analyze all project costs including labor, materials, subcontractors, equipment, and overhead; prepare monthly job cost reports and variance analysis 
  • Process invoices, change orders, pay applications, and payments while ensuring proper documentation and compliance with contracts 
  • Manage retainage, lien waivers, insurance certificates, and subcontractor compliance documentation 
  • Prepare accurate and timely billings, cost reports, and financial dashboards for project stakeholders and senior leadership 
  • Monitor cash flow, identify potential budget risks or overruns, and recommend corrective actions 
  • Support project closeouts by reconciling final costs, releasing retainage, and preparing final project financial summaries 
  • Assist with capital project forecasting, budgeting for new remodel initiatives, and integration of acquired locations 
  • Ensure compliance with internal controls, company policies, and relevant accounting standards (GAAP) 
  • Participate in process improvements to enhance efficiency in construction accounting and reporting 

Benefits

What We Offer 

  • Competitive base salary + performance bonus 
  • Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401(k), paid time off) 
  • Opportunity to play a key financial role in a rapidly expanding national brand 
  • Collaborative, growth-oriented culture in Las Vegas 

This is an excellent opportunity for a construction-savvy accountant who enjoys partnering with project teams to deliver successful remodels in the fast-paced travel center and retail fuel industry.
