Senior Project Accountant

CFS
Mc Lean, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/24/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/30/2026
Title: Senior Project Accountant

Salary: $115,000 – $120,000 Performance Bonus

Location: McLean, VA

If you are a technically strong real estate development accountant who wants stability, influence, and long-term runway, this is the one. We’re partnering with a well-established, privately held real estate development firm with decades of success in residential land development and community building.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • High-level technical accounting role, become the go-to expert in development accounting
  • Direct visibility to ownership and executive leadership
  • Long-tenured team, extremely low turnover
  • Financially strong organization with consistent revenue and backlog
  • Systems modernization underway
  • Free, high-quality health insurance, fully paid for individual AND family coverage
  • Generous PTO to start and summer schedule perk - every other Friday off
  • 401(k) with match
  • Professional, stable, drama-free environment

Key Responsibilities

The Senior Project Accountant will own full-cycle project accounting for multiple real estate development projects, including:

  • Job cost accounting and capitalization
  • Preparing and reviewing detailed workpapers
  • Construction loan draw preparation and reconciliation
  • Lot settlement accounting (HUDs, purchase agreements, sales journals)
  • Contract review and revenue treatment analysis
  • General ledger entries and account reconciliations
  • Month-end and year-end close support
  • Supporting tax workpapers and GAAP/tax basis financial reporting
  • Cash management and banking activity

This Senior Project Accountant must be comfortable operating independently and serving as the technical resource within development accounting.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (Finance must have strong debits/credits experience)
  • 6 years of real estate development, construction, or project accounting experience
  • Strong understanding of development cost accounting and capitalization
  • Experience preparing detailed workpapers
  • Experience with lot settlements and contract interpretation
  • Strong Excel skills
  • Experience working within accounting systems

If you’re a Senior Project Accountant who wants long-term stability, real technical ownership, and upward runway, apply now.
