Greenville, North Carolina, We’re not looking for someone to just close the books. We’re looking for someone who understands how construction and development really work—budgets that move, timelines that shift, and decisions that need to be made in real time.
This role sits at the center of our projects, working closely with development and construction teams to keep everything financially on track and moving forward.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
On any given week, you will:
Review and track project budgets, identifying variances before they become problems
Manage job cost reporting and WIP schedules across multiple active projects
Partner directly with project managers and leadership to forecast costs and cash flow
Track change orders, commitments, and draw schedules
Support monthly closes with a focus on project-level accuracy
Help leadership understand the financial story behind each development
Why This Role Is Different
You won’t be stuck in the back office—you’ll be involved in the projects
Your work will directly influence decisions, not just report on them
You’ll have visibility into development deals and project performance
You’ll help bring structure and clarity to fast-moving construction environments
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Construction Management, or related field
3+ years of experience in construction or real estate development accounting
Strong understanding of:
Job costing
WIP reporting
Project budgeting & forecasting
Comfortable working with project managers and non-financial teams
Someone who can spot issues early and speak up with solutions
What Makes You a Great Fit
You don’t just report numbers—you question them
You understand that construction accounting is rarely clean or perfect
You enjoy digging into details but can also step back and see the big picture
You want to be part of building something, not just tracking it
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary based on experience
Full benefits package
Opportunity for growth as our development pipeline expands
Final Thought
If you’ve worked on the outside (public accounting, audit, or consulting) and are ready to actually own the numbers for real projects—or if you’re already in construction accounting and want more visibility and impact—this could be the right next step.
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required.
Five plus years of related experience required. Preference is within the real estate development and construction disciplines.
