Job Description

πŸ“Šβ€―Confidential Opening: Project Accountant – Ground-Up Focus

πŸ“ Cleveland, OH 
πŸ’° $80K–$100K+ | Strong Benefits | Long-Term Opportunity

We’re partnered with a respected Cleveland-based commercial builder on a confidential search for a Project Accountant to support a newly awarded $75M ground-up multifamily project.

This is a dedicated, full-cycle accounting role tied exclusively to ground-up construction with potential for broader project involvement once the job is underway.  You will be working directly with executive leadership, and eventually help further develop the entire ground-up division in the company!


πŸ”β€―Why This Role Stands Out

  • Focused solely on ground-up work

  • Longstanding client relationship with more work likely if this project succeeds

  • Highly involved leadership support and mentorship early on

  • Light travel to Columbus (approx. 5x/month, no overnights required)

  • Room for growth after initial onboarding


πŸ› β€―What You’ll Be Doing

  • Handle all billing to the owner—accuracy and timing are critical

  • Process, approve, and track incoming sub invoices

  • Partner with PMs and Supers to align jobsite activity with billing

  • Manage project cost tracking, WIP reporting, and documentation

  • Be an accounting voice in internal meetings and with field leadership

  • Support project controls to ensure accurate flow of job cost data


βœ… What We’re Looking For

  • Must have experience with ground-up commercial or multifamily construction

  • Confident, self-motivated, and able to hold your own in fast-paced team meetings

  • Detail-oriented, highly organized, and strong on accountability

  • 10–15+ years of accounting or project-specific construction finance experience preferred

  • Someone ready to take ownership and grow with the team


πŸ’Ό Comp + Perks

  • $80K–$100K+ base, depending on experience

  • Full benefit package

  • Supportive, boots-on-the-ground leadership

  • Growth opportunity tied to future new construction jobs


This is a key, urgent hire for the team. They’re looking to move quickly and want someone who brings not just relevant experience—but also confidence, initiative, and the ability to jump in and add value.
