Assistant Accountant
$60,000 – $75,000 + strong benefits package
Brooklyn, NY- On-site Daily

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
If you’re looking to break into (or grow within) the real estate and construction space, this is an incredible opportunity to get hands-on experience with high-profile projects in one of the most competitive markets in the country.

You’ll be working directly alongside an experienced accounting and project team, gaining exposure not just to accounting functions-but to how large-scale construction projects actually operate financially from start to finish.

What makes this role especially attractive:

• Daily exposure to real estate and construction project finances
• Free lunch provided every day
• Monthly transportation stipend
• Full health and dental coverage
• 401(k) with employer support
• Opportunity to learn Sage 300 and job cost accounting (highly valuable skillset)
• Work closely with project managers and leadership-high visibility role
• Stable, growing company with strong industry expertise and long-term pipeline

This is a strong fit for someone early in their career who wants to build real, practical accounting experience in a niche that offers long-term growth and earning potential.

Key Responsibilities of Assistant Accountant:

• Process accounts payable and receivable, including high-volume vendor invoices and subcontractor payments
• Track project costs and assist with job cost reporting using accounting systems
• Record and maintain financial data related to construction projects and contracts
• Support compliance efforts including insurance documentation and audit preparation
• Collaborate with project managers and internal teams to resolve discrepancies and maintain accurate records

5Qualifications of Assistant Accountant:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
