Job Summary and Qualifications
The Project Accountant is responsible for reviewing, monitoring, and processing construction project invoices, and all contractor, architect, and other project vendor contracts, change orders and DCAs. Through review and auditing of these documents, the Project Accountant plays a vital role in ensuring compliance with our policies and procedures and other internal controls. The Project Accountant also assists the Construction Managers with all project documents throughout the duration of the project and with closeout activities at the end of a project, working with the General Contractors and other vendors to provide necessary documents and required backup.

Contract amounts
Construction billing schedule of values

Retainage (amount held/released is in accordance with amount of work completed)
Waiver of lien
Cost Category coding

As approved contract changes occur [change orders, design change authorizations] for Architects, Contractors, and other project related vendors, verify that the dollar amount of the change does not exceed budget. If budget will be exceeded, initiate the Notice of Capital Change form to request a capital budget increase.
•Ensure eBuilder System is in balance with Lawson – if any discrepancies, research why and correct problems.
•Research and resolve outstanding invoices.
•For new contracts, verify retainage percentage is correct based on the applicable state requirements.
