Key Responsibilities
- Prepare and analyze financial statements including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports
- Prepare and analyze accurate work in progress reports that tie into financial statements.
- Prepare AIA G702/G703 pay applications
- Perform general ledger accounting, journal entries, and account reconciliations

- Prepare documentation and schedules for audits and regulatory reporting
- Maintain accurate records for government-funded and regulated projects
- Collaborate with project managers to translate financial data into actionable insights
- Utilize advanced Excel for financial modeling, reporting, and analysis
- Train or mentor junior accounting staff as needed

- Prior experience in public accounting or auditing is advantageous
- Strong analytical skills in cash flow analysis, account analysis, and budget management
- Exceptional attention to detail—especially in reconciliations and journal entries
