Job Description
Senior Project Accountant
Build Your Career Where the Numbers Meet the Jobsite
GCON is a construction management firm with annual billings exceeding $500 million, delivering commercial, healthcare, public works, and high-tech construction projects across the region. We're looking for a Senior Project Accountant who's ready to make project accounting their specialty � not just a stop along the way on a broader accounting career path.
In this role, you'll serve as the dedicated accounting resource for one or more project teams, responsible for the accurate, timely processing of all project-related financial information. You'll bring a strong working knowledge of construction accounting, budgeting, and financial reporting, and you'll be trusted to keep the financial side of active construction projects running smoothly from day to day.
What You'll Do
Request, receive, route for approval, record, and post all subcontractor invoices, collecting monthly on a set cycle
Receive, track, and record preliminary lien notices, and monitor and resolve ongoing subcontractor compliance issues
Administer project payments and compliance tracking through the Textura Payment Management system
Reconcile and post subcontractor invoices, owner pay applications, credit card statements, and business unit overhead invoices on a monthly close cycle, proactively resolving outstanding or missing items
Partner with the Business Unit Leader to keep cost forecasts current and help prepare for monthly project review meetings
Prepare and process accounts receivable billings, and process accounts payable and ACH payments through an electronic workflow
Support continuous improvement initiatives alongside the Project Accounting Supervisor, Financial Accounting, and IT teams
Use AI and automation tools to speed up routine accounting work, while maintaining responsibility for reviewing and validating any AI-assisted output before it's relied on for financial reporting or decisions
Your primary stakeholders will be the project team and subcontractors, so you'll be working closely and constantly with people outside of accounting. A collaborative, customer-service-oriented approach is just as important here as technical accuracy. As GCON's project portfolio grows, you may occasionally be asked to travel to a job site, currently including a large project in West Texas, once it's fully mobilized. That gives you the chance to see firsthand where the numbers you manage every day come to life.
What We're Looking For
4+ years of accounting experience with an associate degree in a related field, or a bachelor's degree with 2+ years of accounting experience
2+ years of construction-related accounting experience � either directly with a general contractor, or with a subcontractor that regularly works with GCs
A clear sense of where you want to take your career, with project accounting as the specialty you want to build on. This is a role with room to grow within GCON
Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines across projects
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and genuine comfort fielding questions from project teams and subs
Openness to using AI and new technology in your day-to-day work; willingness to learn is a must, prior use is a bonus
Comfort with an in-office team environment; this is not a remote position
Nice to Have
Experience with Textura Payment Management software
Experience with CMiC software
Experience with construction joint venture accounting
Notary commission
Why GCON
You'll join a company with the scale and stability of a $500M+ construction management organization, working alongside a team that takes project accounting seriously as its own discipline, not an afterthought bolted onto general ledger work. We invest in our people's growth, we're leaning into AI and modern tools rather than avoiding them, and we're looking for someone who wants to build a career here, not just fill a seat. If that's you, we'd love to talk.
GCON is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all applicants based on merit, competence, performance, and business need, and do not discriminate on the basis of any status protected under federal, state, or local law.
