Apply for Project Accounting Associate

McElroy is the premier partner for commercial construction firms seeking to build smarter, stronger, and more efficiently. We provide specialized workforce solutions including skilled labor, direct hire, full-service payroll, and HR support. This allows you to focus on building exceptional projects while we manage the back-office complexities.

The Opportunity: We Will Train You

Are you highly organized, great with numbers, and looking for a career path rather than just a "job"?

We are a growing construction firm seeking a dedicated Project Accounting Associate. While we would love someone with construction experience, we are primarily looking for aptitude and attitude. If you have a solid foundation in basic bookkeeping or office admin, we will provide 1-on-1 mentorship to teach you the specialized world of Construction Finance, including Certified Payroll, OCIP/CCIP insurance tracking, and Project Funding.

Career Growth 

We are hiring a future leader. This role offers a clear path from Project Accounting Associate with the long-term goal of stepping into a Treasurer or Controller position as you master our financial systems.

What You Will Do 

This is a hybrid role that balances precision accounting with general office support.

• Payroll & Compliance: Process weekly payroll and learn to file Certified Payroll reports (we will teach you this!).
• Project Documentation: Assist with OCIP/CCIP insurance tracking and subcontractor compliance.
• Accounts Payable/Receivable: Manage vendor invoices, track project expenses, and assist with client billing.
• Office Support: Handle general administrative tasks to keep the office running smoothly.

Who You Are

• A Natural Coordinator: You enjoy creating "a place for everything." Whether it’s digital files or project timelines, you keep information streamlined and ensure nothing falls through the cracks or arrives a day late.
• Detail-Obsessed: You’re the person who catches the typo in a contract or the $1.00 discrepancy in a bank statement.
• A Fast Learner: You enjoy picking up new software and aren't intimidated by regulations or complex forms.
• A Reliable Professional: You understand the importance of confidentiality when handling payroll and financial data.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of experience in an office, administrative, or bookkeeping role.
• Proficiency in basic computer systems.
• A "no task is too small" mentality.
