• Serve as the primary accounting contact for a 50/50 joint venture, including financial reporting and coordination with the project partner.
• Partner with project managers and operations leadership to monitor project performance, analyze margins, and identify financial risks and opportunities.
• Prepare monthly journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, and financial reports.
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, audits, and long-range financial planning.
• Support treasury functions including bank reconciliations, ACH transactions, wire transfers, and cash management activities.
• Develop and improve accounting processes, internal controls, and reporting efficiencies.

  • Construction financial reporting
• Experience with joint venture accounting is a plus.
