Hanson Construction Group

Numbers tell stories. Projects build legacies. We need someone who loves both.

At Hanson Construction, we're not just building structures—we're building communities, relationships, and projects we're proud to stand behind.

We're looking for a Project Accountant who thrives at the intersection of accounting and operations. Someone who wants to get beyond the four walls of the accounting office and understand what is actually happening on a job site. If reconciling numbers gives you satisfaction, but understanding the "why" behind them gives you energy, keep reading.

This Isn't Your Typical Accounting Role

You won't spend your days buried in transactions with little understanding of where the numbers came from.

Instead, you'll work closely with project managers, operations teams, and leadership to ensure the financial story of each project accurately reflects what's happening in the field.

You'll track project performance, monitor costs, manage WIP, support billing and contract administration, and help provide the insights that keep projects on track and profitable.

In short—you'll become a trusted partner in how we run our business.

What You'll Be Doing

Managing project accounting and Work-in-Progress (WIP) reporting

Tracking project costs, budgets, margins, and forecasts

Supporting invoicing and contract administration

Allocating labour, equipment, and subcontractor costs accurately

Monitoring project profitability and identifying potential risks early

Working alongside project managers and operations leaders to connect financial results with project reality

Helping us continuously improve our systems, processes,



and reporting

The Kind of Person Who Excels Here

You're naturally curious.

You ask questions before making assumptions.

You notice when something doesn't look right.

You enjoy bringing clarity to complexity.

You care about accuracy—but you also understand that numbers matter because people matter.

You take ownership, communicate well, and aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves when something needs to get done.

What We'd Love to See

· A CPA or someone who is working towards a CPA would be considered an asset.

· 2+ years of project accounting or construction accounting experience

· Solid understanding of:

o WIP reporting

o Job costing

o Budget vs. actual analysis

o Revenue recognition

o Cost allocations

· Experience with accounting software such as QuickBooks, Sage, or similar systems

· Strong Excel skills

· Excellent organizational and communication abilities

Why Hanson?

Because we believe great businesses are built by great people.

We're a team that values integrity, humility, accountability, and doing the right thing—even when nobody's watching. We work hard, support one another, and take pride in delivering quality work for our clients and communities.

If you're looking for a place where your contributions matter, your ideas are welcomed, and your work helps build something meaningful, we'd love to meet you.

Interested?

Send us your resume and tell us a little about yourself.

We're looking for someone who wants more than a job—we're looking for someone who wants to be part of the story.

Pay: $51,308.77-$97,480.58 per year

Work Location: In person
