JOB OVERVIEW

About Us
Pivot Solutions is a consulting firm in Arizona. We provide practical support in accounting, tax, construction, HR, and business operations. We focus on accuracy, accountability, and real results.

About the Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented Construction Accountant to manage project-level financials, ensure accurate job costing, and handle construction-specific billing and compliance. The ideal candidate understands progress billings, retainage, and lien waivers.

This is a full-time position. We are not looking to hire self-employed consultants or freelance
e bookkeepers. This is a fully remote position. To be considered, your resume must be written in English.

What You’ll Do
• Perform job costing for multiple active projects, tracking labor, materials, subcontractors, and equipment.
• Prepare progress billings (AIA documents, schedule of values) and manage retainage receivables/payables.
• Reconcile over/under billings and report work-in-progress (WIP) accurately.
• Process subcontractor pay applications, collect lien waivers, and ensure compliance with notices of commencement.
• Manage equipment & fleet accounting (depreciation, internal rentals, fuel, maintenance).
• Assist with monthly bank reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, and general ledger entries.
• Support project managers with real-time cost-to-complete reports and variance analysis.

Qualifications:
• 2+ years of accounting experience, preferably in construction, trades, or real estate development.
• Proficiency with construction ERP & accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, BuildTrend, Sage 300 CRE, Foundation, Viewpoint, or Procore).
• Solid understanding of job cost ledgers, WIP schedules, and percentage-of-completion (POC) accounting.
• Familiarity with lien laws, retainage rules, and AIA billing documents.
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP).

Preferred:
• Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• Experience with payroll, certified payroll reporting, or equipment fleet management.

Only applicants who meets the qualifications will be considered.

Work Setup: Fully Remote (Work From Home)
