Join a Team Where Your Work Builds Real Value

Are you ready to take your accounting career to the next level? We’re looking for a motivated Project Accountant to support a dynamic and growing construction and capital projects team in Olive Branch, MS.

If you love variety, problem-solving, and seeing the direct impact of your work on major projects — this role is for you. You’ll play a key role in tracking costs, analyzing budgets, and keeping large-scale capital projects on target.

?? What’s in it for you:

• Be the financial go-to for projects that shape the company’s future.
• Gain hands-on exposure to CAPEX and project-based accounting — an ideal next step for Staff or Cost Accountants ready to specialize.
• Work in a supportive, growth-focused environment that values initiative, accuracy, and collaboration.

What You’ll Do

• Own project-related accounting functions, including cost tracking, accruals, and budget-to-actual analysis.
• Review and process invoices, purchase orders, and vendor payments tied to capital projects.
• Prepare and post journal entries, reconcile accounts, and maintain detailed project ledgers.
• Partner with project managers to ensure accurate cost coding and reporting.
• Support month-end close and audit schedules for active projects.
• Track progress billings, retention, and cost variances across multiple projects.
• Provide clear, actionable insights through forecasting and variance analysis.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (required).
• 2–4 years of accounting experience, ideally in project, cost, or construction accounting.
• Strong working knowledge of GL, journal entries, and reconciliations.
• Solid skills in Excel and experience with ERP systems (Oracle, SAP, or similar).
• Excellent attention to detail, organization, and communication — you know how to keep things moving and accurate.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

?? Impact & Visibility: Your numbers drive decisions on million-dollar projects.
?? Supportive Team: Work alongside project managers, operations leaders, and a finance team that values your input.
?? Competitive Pay: Earn $32–$38/hour with pay aligned to your skills and experience.
??? Exciting Projects: Every day brings new challenges — and the satisfaction of seeing tangible results from your work.
