Job description

Construction Accountant

Location: Bakersfield, CA (Onsite) Salary: $75,000 $90,000 DOE

Join a well-established commercial construction company helping shape the Central Valley through high-quality commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. Our client is known for its commitment to excellence, collaborative culture, and long-standing reputation within the construction industry. Theyre looking for a Construction Accountant who enjoys partnering with operations while ensuring projects remain financially on track.

This is more than a traditional accounting role. Youll work closely with project managers and leadership to oversee project financials, monitor job costs, and provide meaningful insight that supports successful project delivery.

The Opportunity

As a Construction Accountant, youll oversee project accounting activities while supporting financial reporting, billing, and job cost analysis. This role is ideal for someone with a strong understanding of construction accounting who enjoys working in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.

What Youll Do

  • Manage job costing, project budgets, and cost tracking throughout the project lifecycle
  • Prepare progress billings, retainage schedules, and work-in-progress (WIP) reporting
  • Support month-end close, account reconciliations, and financial reporting
  • Partner with project managers to analyze project profitability and forecast costs
  • Ensure compliance with contract requirements and maintain accurate project documentation

What Were Looking For

  • 3+ years of construction or project accounting experience
  • Strong knowledge of job costing, WIP reporting, and percentage-of-completion accounting
  • Proficiency in Excel and ERP systems such as Sage, CMiC, Foundation, Viewpoint, or similar software
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Opportunity to work on high-profile construction projects throughout the Central Valley
  • High-visibility role partnering directly with project managers and executive leadership
  • Stable, growing company with long-term career opportunities
  • Collaborative team environment that values innovation, accountability, and professional development

If youre looking for a role where you can combine technical accounting expertise with project operations while making a measurable impact, this could be the right next step.

Timing is everything. Whether youre actively exploring or open to the right opportunity, wed welcome the chance to connect. Many of our roles are not posted publiclyreach out to learn more.
