Our approach
Job cost, close and controls
Candidate evaluation can cover job cost structures, work in progress schedules, percentage-of-completion accounting, subcontractor payables, receivables, reconciliations and financial close. We ask how candidates work with project teams to resolve discrepancies and keep reporting useful.

Good questions
Frequently asked questions.
What construction accounting skills matter in a search?
The role may require job cost reporting, work in progress, project billing, payables, close or financial controls. We align candidate experience with the employer's accounting structure and systems.
How is a Controller search different from a project accountant search?
A Controller typically leads accounting processes and controls across the organization, while project accountants focus on financial administration for projects. Employers define scope differently, so we confirm ownership before outreach.
Can you recruit candidates who are not actively seeking work?
Yes. We conduct direct outreach through our construction network and speak with candidates who may not be applying to jobs. Local and 100% travel-ready candidates can be considered according to the role.
