Project Accountant

Our team includes professionals licensed in over 20 states, with more than 70 years of collective experience. We pride ourselves on fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment that encourages growth and professional development. 

At ANS, you’ll enjoy paid vacation, sick, and personal time off; support for continuing education and community involvement; and comprehensive healthcare, vision, and dental benefits for eligible employees. 

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Project Accountant to support the project accounting lifecycle. Specifically, this role will be responsible for performing recurring accounting procedures, supporting engineering project managers with maintaining project data within the systems-of-record (e.g., NetSuite), as well as applying overtime revenue recognition methodologies to meet US GAAP and reporting objectives.

The ideal candidate will have experience with using data/reports from ERP systems to provide finance insights and support accounting conclusions (i.e., revenue calculations). As Project Accounting at ANS is inherently reliant on this source data, the ideal candidate will understand data integrity risks and be prepared to assist with supporting best practices, receiving coaching, and performing internal controls-each in coordination with the broader accounting team.

We welcome candidates with a minimum of 2 years of professional experience who are eager to grow in a supportive environment.
