• Apply technical expertise: ensure compliance with ASC 606; manage WIP reporting, COGS tracking, and gross-margin analysis.
• Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Project Management, and Finance leadership to align revenue metrics with business goals.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying root causes of inefficiencies and rolling out pragmatic solutions.

Requirements: 

• 5+ years of progressive revenue / project accounting experience within construction, professional services, or other project-driven industries

• Hands-on leadership of small accounting teams (hiring, training, performance management)
• Track record of redesigning or rebuilding broken billing / revenue processes
• Must pass criminal background check

Nice to have: 

• Experience leading an accounting transformation or system implementation
• CPA, CMA, or equivalent certification
