• Perform core staff accountant responsibilities alongside system implementation work.
• Support project/cost accounting, revenue recognition, billing, and general ledger activities.
• Partner closely with the Accounting Manager and billing team.
• Gradually assume additional traditional accounting responsibilities as the system stabilizes.

• 2–5 years of accounting experience.
• Experience in project‑based or cost accounting environments (Engineering, Construction, Architecture).
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
• Exposure to ERP systems such as BQE Core, Deltek, Vantage, or similar.
• Strong Excel skills, including data handling and lookups.
