Our approach

Project accounting within construction teams

We recruit Project Accountants and project finance staff for contractors, developers and construction managers. We clarify project assignments, portfolio size, reporting lines, accounting team structure and how the position works with Project Managers.

Our approach

Billing, cost and documentation

Search conversations cover subcontractor invoices, owner billing, purchase orders, commitments, cost coding, reconciliations and project closeout. We match experience with the employer's accounting methods and systems, while distinguishing project accounting from company-wide Controller responsibilities.

Our approach

Network outreach and travel requirements

We reach project accounting professionals through direct outreach and our construction network, including candidates not actively applying. We consider local candidates and candidates willing to travel 100% when appropriate, confirming project coverage and work arrangements before introductions.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions.

What does a construction Project Accountant do?

Responsibilities commonly include project billing, job cost support, payables, receivables and financial documentation. We confirm the specific duties, project assignments and reporting relationships with each employer.

How do you evaluate project accounting candidates?

We discuss construction accounting processes, project transactions, systems, accuracy and collaboration with project teams. Candidate experience is compared with the employer's accounting structure.

Is a Project Accountant the same as a Controller?

No. A Project Accountant generally supports financial administration for projects, while a Controller leads broader accounting processes and controls. We clarify the actual scope of each opening.

Can you recruit Project Accountants for traveling assignments?

Yes. We consider local candidates and professionals willing to travel 100% where needed. We establish project coverage and travel expectations before presenting candidates.

Relocation and travel

Relocation Placements

Over the last few years we've filled more and more positions with candidates willing to relocate on their own, or with minimal initial relocation help from the client. We always fill with local candidates when possible. But relocation placements are a specialty of ours, and we know how to make them work for clients who are committed to filling the position.

Placement protection

12-month replacement guarantee

On standard (non-reduced) fee agreements, every placement comes with a 3-month free candidate replacement guarantee. From months 4 to 12, we'll still replace the candidate at half off. That's a full year of coverage. We've never needed to use the extended guarantee.

Extended coverage applies to eligible placements billed and paid at the full standard fee under the signed client recruiting agreement.

Three-Month Free Replacement

If a placement billed and paid at the full standard fee separates for a qualifying reason within the first three months, Construction Headhunters will conduct one replacement search for the same or substantially similar position at no additional professional recruiting fee.

Months Four Through Twelve: Half-Fee Replacement

If the hire separates during months four through twelve, the client receives one replacement at half the standard professional fee. Applies only to original placements billed and paid at the full standard fee.

Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
